Lemons. Local ones..hand for scale. Sorry no banana. Also I do not have micro hands
Pompei
A whole city covered in ashes 3k ya
Huge beyond belief
So complex and well preserved
Just one of the many roads
This city used to have 20k citizens
Everything suddenly stopped
Paintings on walls are still there and tell so much
People caught by the ashes
This is scary
Whole villas
These were spas
This is a warning about the guard dog
You could walk hours and hours here
Three thousand years and still it's better than my place
An original mosaic. there's so many
An open year theater from 3k ya
Inside one of the many houses
Amazing
Fried pizza
This one too. A traditional pizza from Naples
Strolling by the seaside on a lazy afternoon
That's the Vesuvio, the vulcano that destroyed Pompei
Had a spritz there

#3 It was less than 2,000 years ago, not 3,000. 1,945 years ago to be exact. August 24, 79 CE.

Check out the 2 letters of Pliny the Younger.

Why? They don't change the date. They are fascinating and the fate of his uncle is heartbreaking, but he died 1,941 years ago, not 3,000.

yes, just a general suggestion for some eyewitness accounts.
