Today's adventure begins as the
0:03
recording of this Sunday, November 30th,
0:08
2025. I'm standing on my the ledge of my
0:12
balcony at my room on the sixth floor of
0:14
the hotel I'm staying at in Naples,
0:17
Italy.
0:20
Beautiful architecture here. Birds
0:23
flying by, seagulls,
0:26
the bay right over there.
0:29
Today I am doing a group tour that I
0:32
meeting up with shortly. Have to walk a
0:34
little bit of a distance to meet up with
0:35
the van to tour the city of Pompei
0:40
at Mount Vuvius
0:42
covered in volcan volcanic volcanic or
0:46
volcanic ash
0:50
back in 79 AD.
0:55
Should be pretty amazing. Should be
0:55
pretty dang amazing. take a short stroll
0:58
over to the meeting point. And if you
1:01
look past this
1:03
little boat dock, off in the distance
1:08
is Mount Vuvius, the volcano
1:12
right over there.
1:14
Off in the distance with the clouds in
1:16
the foreground,
1:22
that's where I'm heading. Well,
1:22
heading to Pompei, which is at the base
1:24
of the volcano.
1:26
Really impressive castle here
1:30
along the main well one of the main
1:31
thorough affairs the thoroughare along
1:34
the bay
1:45
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. I'm
1:45
inviting you to join me. Let's get over
1:47
to Pompei,
1:49
shall we?
1:54
And it works out the meeting point that
1:54
I was instructed via email after I
1:56
booked the tour last night to meet up at
1:59
is right here at this little cafe. I
2:01
think I got about 20 minutes. So, I'm
2:02
going to grab a cup of coffee. Start the
2:04
day off a little caffeine.
2:06
Also, this is the
2:16
the cruise port terminal.
2:16
Big cruise stop, I guess. Not only did I
2:18
get the cafe lot or the the cafe latte,
2:22
but I've just noticed there they serve a
2:23
lot of really hot coffee in regular
2:27
cups. I've noticed this the last series
2:29
of days as well. I also got a little
2:31
delicious treat right over here.
3:00
So, someone knows the name of this big
3:00
mountain,
3:09
right? 10 points. This is the mountain.
3:09
But as you can see over there, we have
3:11
two mountains. So it is not just one
3:14
volcano of the Mount Vubius, but we have
3:16
two mountains. The little one on the
3:19
left is called the Mount S. And is
3:22
controlled and checked every day by
3:23
professional people by the Servatorium
3:25
National Park. But even though it's
3:28
controlled, we will never know when the
3:30
option the option is going to happen. So
3:32
we have to live like this with the fear
3:34
that one day everyone is going to die.
3:36
But we are used to it. So don't worry,
3:38
nothing's going to happen. These days
3:40
that you're here, I promise nothing is
3:41
going to happen in Naples. But I have to
3:43
tell you the truth that couple of months
3:45
ago and also last week, we had some
3:48
earthquakes here in Naples.
3:50
>> Upon arriving, they gave me this little
3:51
earpiece for the English tour
3:56
version. Also, first thing when I got
3:58
here, they said, "Oh, we're going to go
4:00
inside this factory and learn a little
4:03
history." But in fact, it was just a
4:05
sales pitch. It's almost like you enter
4:06
through the gift shop before the tour.
4:09
Probably the tour and this gift shop are
4:11
affiliated just basically how to like
4:14
make jewelry and stuff like that. So
4:17
just now about to start the tour
4:26
and I'll be listening to this and doing
4:26
my own version of reiteration back to my
4:29
camera as I walk. in 200 BC arrived with
4:33
the Roman people from the north of
4:35
Europe conquest every part of the Italy
4:37
created first of all Rome the capital of
4:40
the Roman imperial and after other kind
4:44
of cities like for example Milano medano
4:47
that we are in the north of Italy why
4:50
arrive a lot of civilization in Pompe
4:53
with a different kind of style language
4:57
religion because before the disaster of
5:00
the vuvius bula that erupted and burning
5:03
alive every part of the compar region in
5:06
Bombay we have the ocean in Bombay we
5:09
have why it's a super moder
5:12
because inside it's again active but
5:15
outside sleep okay and why it's called
5:18
vuvius because after the disaster that
5:21
bit in 24 October of 79 AD arrive one
5:27
imperator it's called cesto seo that
5:30
give you this name beus
5:33
in Italian language where the word it's
5:36
mean light of fire and the word in Latin
5:41
language it's mean vomit vomit of fire
5:44
vomit of light you want to look
5:46
everything we must running for a couple
5:49
of minutes around every part of the
5:51
archeological site and now welcome in
5:54
Okay. So,
6:04
so
6:04
what's is this? This is the typical
6:06
training center that utilized the
6:08
gladiator of the soldier 2,000 years
6:10
ago. But before that arrived the Roman
6:13
people in 200 BC this kind of highlights
6:17
that's a sort of waiting room because on
6:19
front of you that's possible to look a
6:21
part of the great theater and on your
6:24
right behind the wall we have the small
6:26
theater so it's a sort of place for
6:29
reunion every citizen for look at the
6:31
spectator like tragedies comedies drama
6:35
musical and concert okay when arrived
6:38
the Roman people in 200 BC Pompe It's a
6:41
it's government with the sort of mayors
6:44
that's called Jumbbury. The mayors for
6:46
improve the political power for improve
6:49
the vote during the political election
6:51
that we have every two years in Pompei.
6:54
They transform those kind of uh training
6:57
waiting room in training center. They
7:00
put inside a lot of soldier gladiator
7:02
that are not slaves are simple people
7:05
that live around the archaeological
7:07
part. And every day they every gladiator
7:10
starts from this direction and arrive in
7:12
the last part of the escavation that we
7:15
have a sort of amphitheater colosum that
7:18
the Roman people made the spectator with
7:21
the soldier and animals as well. Days we
7:24
have a sort of storage but 2,000 years
7:26
ago we have the bed made with rocks that
7:29
the soldiers leave. We have a sort of
7:31
kitchen that's called toad where the
7:33
soldier prepared the food and every day
7:36
they training in this enormous garden.
7:38
Imagine that this part of the quad
7:41
that's all rebuilt by the archaeologists
7:44
that arrive in for the first time in
7:46
1748. In fact, every piece and every
7:50
things that you can see with your eyes
7:52
that's all rebuilt like the balcony and
7:54
the party. Okay, but imagine with your
7:57
mind that we have a full party for every
7:59
part of the corn of these highlights
8:02
full of balconies and imagine that
8:06
for uh up to 64 actors. Nowadays we have
8:10
again the three region that's covered
8:13
again with the pomis ash and latinus
8:16
rocks step by step a lot of
8:19
archaeologists from the US UK Europe
8:24
every part of the world uh dig or open
8:28
the next
8:30
second day that we have
8:33
shadow
8:54
when a lot of a lot of and after the
8:54
eruption
8:56
why I tell you this because in regionous
9:00
highlights that's all made with margin
9:03
everything
9:11
the only real authentic pieces. A lot of
9:11
times they uh make a part of the ladies
9:14
because they don't have social and
9:16
political power. They use a sort of mask
9:20
made with grapes. So that
9:32
it's possible to look down the multi
9:32
floor dec.
9:41
That's all real as well. Imagine that
9:41
the main difference that the great
9:43
that's renovate that was rebuilt. The
9:45
small one that is all authentic from
9:47
2,000 years ago and which kind of a play
9:50
they made inside respect the great
9:52
theater musical and concert. Okay. And
9:56
now finally we arrive in the library of
9:59
the Pompe.
10:28
that I explained before. That's possible
10:28
to look at the same slide of murder that
10:31
was made with the two layers.
10:47
The sidewalks are so high to respect the
10:47
level of the sweet. Why? Because every
10:49
houses, every chain, every shops 2,000
10:52
years ago inside don't get the dust. So
10:55
in the first hour of the morning, the
10:56
Roman people put in the center of the
10:58
street every kind of garbage and organic
11:02
liquor. So the streets in Pompei are
11:05
always dirty, thousand years.
11:08
>> These really aren't working all that
11:10
great. But sometimes they work,
11:12
sometimes they don't.
11:35
guide
11:37
the wagons for two main reasons. First
11:40
one for don't break the wheels made with
11:44
wood and cover with land and second for
11:47
drive so quickly for arriving every
11:49
regions and the districts that we have.
11:53
And now finally we stop here.
11:57
How do we explain what is this
12:00
called?
12:02
Because theos it's made hot volume it's
12:06
mean food hot food we have uncountable
12:09
pots made with the bricks why bricks
12:11
because every liquid every food don't
12:14
change the taste and don't change the
12:16
temperature and they put liquid and food
12:19
like for example dried fluid fruit salad
12:22
soup of Lego the wine imagine that the
12:25
wine that is not the same that we drink
12:28
nowadays it's a sort of strong vinegar
12:30
that the Roman people would become just
12:33
a little bit sweet with the horn inside.
12:35
>> This is interesting. He was explaining
12:37
how these were not only storefronts but
12:38
also houses for the families. So they
12:41
would serve food right here and the
12:43
families would live up on the second
12:45
floor up there. He also said
12:48
that they were the civilization was one
12:50
of the first that created the sliding
12:53
door. So they'd have their food products
12:55
behind it and at the end of the night
12:57
they would use this little crevice and
12:59
slide the door across.
13:03
Very interesting.
13:16
>> And these rocks were elevated in case
13:16
there was flooding that the locals could
13:18
walk across the road there without
13:20
getting their feet wet.
14:06
after the face of the public found it
14:06
sed
14:14
one kind of one kind of okay but how
14:14
arrived the water 2000 years ago in hand
14:18
underground the floor we have a soy
14:50
Imagine that up here with a lot of speed
14:50
underground floor after the water
14:53
entrance this tower. Okay. Inside we
14:56
have a sort of interace with the oneous
14:59
leg like one
15:01
>> the water would pour down from the
15:03
mountain down here quickly.
15:07
that we have one.
15:10
Imagine that the water entrance this
15:12
time exit
15:14
in the other side. Now we waiting the
15:17
lady open for entrance and describe
15:20
everything.
15:22
Imagine that
15:24
every buildings that we can see inside
15:27
it's all authentic from 2000.
15:31
So
15:33
I will show you the entire area.
15:43
And on the right that's possible to look
15:43
the the last part of the term bat the
15:47
3G.
15:48
It's a sort of a pool with cold water
15:51
that normal people finish after the two
15:55
space like the garden
15:58
and like
16:49
First floor maybe will burn
16:49
up. Okay. After the second floor, it's a
16:52
sort of empty cavity with a lot of
16:55
pillow of bricks that support the first
16:58
floor and up
17:01
to a lot of inner space between the
17:04
bricks. Why? Because remain all
17:07
together.
17:16
So the pressure always stay the distance
17:16
for arriving the other room. That's a
17:18
lot. So in the other room the one down
17:23
we arrive for 40°
17:26
after 63 arrive one archaeologist from
17:29
the Cis. It's called Joseph. When
17:32
arrived in Pompei, he start to dig a lot
17:35
of stripes of rocks and he found a sort
17:39
of empty character with the bones and
17:42
the skeleton of this man. You imagine
17:45
why empty? Because after a lot of
17:48
centuries, the pomise, the ash, the
17:51
lapidous rocks become so tiny, so
17:54
flable. So the air up the sky through
17:57
the land and ride in this cavity. Okay.
18:01
and decompose the body. So after four,
18:04
five years remain just the boat, just
18:07
the skeleton. To set your we have one
18:09
great idea to open one enormous hole up
18:12
the empty cavity and put in inside a
18:16
sort of hot plaster lid that cover every
18:20
part of the cavity. And after a couple
18:22
of days that refruits everything they
18:25
break the rocks right and the left and
18:27
we have the clusters of every kind of
18:29
things men, women, children, animals.
18:33
For example, in Pompei we have two
18:35
clusters that represented one horse and
18:38
one dog as well. But it's possible
18:40
around every part of the excavation.
18:43
Imagine with your mind that if you look
18:45
up the shoulder and up the center of the
18:48
body, that's possible to look at the
18:50
rest of the clothes that the people you
18:52
did this 2,000 years ago. The Roman
18:55
people are not like Rust Crow in the
18:58
movie enormous so Roman people are so
19:01
skinny, so low like the sides. Okay,
19:04
it's not so heavy. Okay, it's so small
19:07
ones. In fact, when we arrive in the
19:09
center of the excavation, we entrance in
19:11
another highlights that's possible to
19:13
look another three example of a plaster
19:15
cast that we have people
19:18
in Latin language that people relax
19:21
before or after the
19:25
>> this is a swimming pool
19:26
>> and we arrive in the end of the
19:33
>> it's very interesting about the plaster
19:33
plaster of the body that the bodies that
19:36
they Wow.
19:38
Really inc fascinating
19:47
like 40 50 years old also because in
19:47
Pompei we have not a lot of kind of
19:49
medicine. We have just the earth bench
19:52
and the oil. Okay. And now we exit and
19:56
we change the district. We exit from a
19:59
part that we have the theaters that we
20:02
have the thermal bed. And now
20:06
we walk around one district that the
20:09
Roman people names one special business
20:14
the love houses. The prostitution
20:16
represented 20% of the business that we
20:20
have in Pompei 2000 years ago. Every
20:23
patrician's family every politicians
20:26
have a sort of a brother for improve the
20:29
paycheck for improve the wall in the end
20:31
of the month. Okay. And inside they work
20:34
a lot of slaves that arrive from the
20:37
north of Europe and the Mediterranean
20:39
Sea. So a lot of times the slaves
20:41
doesn't speak the Latin and the Greek
20:43
language. So for describe the erotic
20:47
activity that the people want to try
20:49
they painted up the wall a lot of that
20:52
represent the erotic secrets that we
20:55
have that represented one snake. the
20:58
leaves are the jo and the snake. That's
21:00
two animals that the Roman people is a
21:02
sort of symbol for good luck and for
21:05
eagle eye in every friscus we have a lot
21:08
of little snake. Okay. And the technique
21:11
it's called friscus because we have the
21:13
wall we have a part of the stco that you
21:17
can see here. And we have the color how
21:20
the Roman people created the color 2,000
21:22
years ago with the flowers. We have the
21:25
ginapro flowers. It's a red flower that
21:28
they make the red color. We have the
21:30
umbra for the yellow. We have the lapis
21:32
loli for the blue. And what's this? If
21:35
you look up the building, we have a sort
21:38
of felic symbol, a sort of penis. It's a
21:42
sort of GPS line that indicate that down
21:45
we have one brother. Because if you look
21:47
inside, we have one bed made with the
21:50
rocks. The ladies stay outside entrance
21:53
with the men and start the paradise for
21:55
10 15 minutes. After they close the gate
21:58
with the sort of tails made with cotton
22:01
because I want to remember that we have
22:03
just the sliding doors like doors we
22:06
have for the other cottage that we have
22:09
in the north of Pompe. We have just the
22:11
tails made with and if you look in front
22:14
of you that's possible to look at the
22:16
drive that use the wagons for a ride in
22:19
every district of the compass. Imagine
22:22
that in this street we have the only
22:25
real broad authentic from 2,000 years
22:28
ago that in origin that's divided in two
22:31
floor nowadays we visit just the first
22:35
floor authentic the second floor is all
22:38
rebuilt by the archaeologist and when we
22:41
go in that's possible to look seven
22:43
eight nine frescos that represent the
22:46
erotic activity that tried to be 2,000
22:49
years ago we have the upper class we
22:51
have the escort okay that is very
22:54
expensive they live inside of the
22:56
overall house and one escort in Pompei
23:00
it's called AOT and she write up the
23:04
wall that she make the service I call
23:07
and in case every people want my service
23:09
they must pay $5 try the Roman people
23:14
the man indicated with the sort of thing
23:16
which kind of activity they want to try
23:18
the in the bedrooms closer with a sort
23:21
of a taste and when they finish the
23:24
activity we have a sort of rooms for the
23:27
toilets that grown people wash the body
23:29
with the cold water. Okay. When you
23:32
finish, I wait.
23:48
The people know already that inside we
23:48
have old fris. Okay. But when they
23:52
entrance okay imagine that nowadays the
23:55
floor that's written about 2,000 years
23:58
ago we have a sort of indication that
24:01
kind of buildings
24:54
All the floor start from the sidewalks.
24:54
Outside we have a lot of Chinese pieces
24:56
of metro that indicated the decoration.
24:59
In every part of the floor we have all
25:01
the represent geometric for flowers and
25:14
This was to signify where the the horses
25:14
and carriages must stop and everyone
25:16
would have to walk from this point on.
25:20
That street I was just on was full of
25:22
homes and shops
25:35
>> as large as 75 m. that's closed with the
25:35
two floor of column right and left that
25:39
continue for every part of the square
25:41
that's with the charity marble with the
25:44
open ceiling. Okay. And on front of you
25:47
that's possible to look at the vuvius
25:50
vulcan the bounty killer that killed
25:53
23,000 people. Imagine like you now the
25:57
people on front of you don't look the
25:59
mountain. Why? Because we have the
26:01
palace, we have the arch, we have the
26:03
temple that cover 80 90% of the
26:06
mountain. When I arrive at the disaster,
26:09
okay, the people don't hurt nothing.
26:11
Okay? Because the disaster, it's
26:13
possible to divide in two moment. 6:00
26:17
a.m. of 24 October exit from the conic
26:20
form of the visous bulk that nowadays
26:23
don't exist, but we have 2,000 years
26:26
ago. one enormous cloud of ash that
26:29
invited all the sky. The sky become all
26:32
black. The ash arrive 15 kilome up the
26:36
skyline. Okay. But the people don't hurt
26:39
nothing. They continue the activity
26:41
around the forum square. Why? For
26:43
interest for don't lose the shops for
26:46
don't lose the coins for all those
26:48
everything. Just 10% of the people have
26:51
a great idea to arrive down the port of
26:54
Pompei, take the ships and run away. The
26:57
rest of the people remain in the square
26:59
in the other part of the excavation and
27:01
9 hours later in 3 4:00 in the afternoon
27:05
the conic for break and because the
27:08
distance about the forum square the
27:10
basilus vul it's only 2 kilome arrive a
27:14
sort of flaw full of poplastic
27:17
ash pomise and laus rocks that with the
27:21
three days and the three night burning
27:23
alive every
27:26
Okay. After 3 days and three nights, it
27:29
don't exist. Nothing. Full of ash.
27:32
>> Three days. Three nights. Okay.
27:35
Cover for 18th century. I told you
27:38
before that the first excavation
27:39
happened in 1748. Why? Because when
27:42
arrived the other like Ces that gave the
27:46
name of the vuvius. He will shape every
27:49
kind of treasure that we have under the
27:51
floor. But the technology of the Roman
27:54
people are not so great. So they
27:56
remained cover for 18th century and
27:59
after we waited Charles third of Borbon
28:01
king of Naples that with the for the
28:04
same uh future they arrived here for
28:07
shape everything and they start the
28:10
excavation in 1748 to look the uper made
28:14
with the face of mer and if you come
28:17
here and you can see the center that's
28:18
possible to look at the face okay exact
28:22
okay and now we arrive in the end of
28:24
this
28:26
for look the fish and the little
28:29
machines
28:32
that the Roman people say every kind of
28:34
food, every kind of leggings, vegetable,
28:38
every kind of liquid. Okay, imagine that
28:41
around we have other kind of highlights.
28:43
We have uncountable temple. The only
28:46
problem for us that we have not enough
28:48
time. So I won a ride in the end of the
28:51
estation that we have the rich party
28:53
where we the politicians and the
28:55
politicians
29:26
>> This is over into the market area, the
29:26
fish and meat market.
29:32
are so strange,
29:32
so fat, so long. That's a point. Okay.
29:36
Why? Because in the end of the ladies
29:39
arrive all the sentiments about the
29:41
wine, the oil, the vinegar that we have
29:44
in Pope and the markets, they sell
29:46
everything. Okay? And this is all
29:49
authentic. A lot of vases are made with
29:52
bricks. In the National Archaeological
29:55
Museum in Naples, that's possible to
29:57
look at the same places with a lot of
29:59
decoration all around that represented
30:02
the buildings of every kind of div.
30:05
Okay. And now we return in the other
30:07
side.
30:44
the X. Okay. the typical meat that eat
30:44
the people 2,000 years ago. On the
30:46
right, that's possible to look at the
30:48
rest of the fish and the down that's
30:51
possible to look at the first
30:53
prospective line. Okay. If you look
30:55
down, we have the politicians with a lot
30:58
of combination of color like yellow,
31:00
orange, red and green that pick the sort
31:02
of depth, the sort of space for the
31:05
first prospect.
31:07
You can sit down. Imagine that is all
31:09
authentic and in the other face that's
31:12
represent the divinity that we have
31:14
around everything here. That's the day
31:16
the Roman people visit from the valley
31:19
of the theater. We visit everything
31:21
here. We take the stabia street. We
31:24
arrive here. We look at the public
31:26
fountain. We look at the thermal bat. We
31:28
arrive up the shortcut and we look at
31:31
the love houses. We return one more time
31:33
up the main street. We look at the house
31:36
of the board that we have here. We
31:38
arrive in the forum square that we
31:40
explain every details about the forum
31:43
square and the eruption. And now we stay
31:45
in the number 12 fish and meat market.
31:48
Okay. Now we exit and we arrive in the
31:51
north part of the excavation for look
31:54
another three kind and four kind of
31:56
highlights. Okay.
31:59
is one of the wall that's possible to
32:03
look how
32:05
okay for the second and third
32:10
and up the wall as well that's possible
32:12
to look at other symbol and other things
32:14
for fertility and prosper we have in
32:18
every space in every intersection in
32:21
every wall
32:44
And now when we arrive
32:44
in the in the end of this as well
32:52
another
32:52
thermopol respect to the other that we
32:55
look before this one. It's amazing
32:57
because we have a lot of slide of
33:00
marble. That's unbelievable because now
33:02
we arrive at the rich quarters. So also
33:05
the store are so great
33:15
from let's divide into enormous block.
33:15
One conic for put the green inside and
33:18
one oval. In the center we have two
33:21
empty cavities that they put the powder
33:23
made in wood. They turn around with the
33:26
human strength with the horse with the
33:28
donkeys. And between the first block and
33:31
second block, we have a sort of inspace
33:34
that exit the flare. Which kind of bread
33:37
the people created 2,000 years ago.
33:40
Depends of your paycheck, social class,
33:43
money. For the rich people, we have the
33:45
white bread, the cigar bread, very
33:48
smooth, very sweet to eat. For the poor
33:50
people or the simple people, we have the
33:53
black bread. very strong to eat but in
33:55
the same time nowadays it's very
33:57
expensive to buy on the right we have
34:00
the oven okay imagine that when I
34:03
arrived the disaster a lot of bakery
34:06
prepared the bread inside so when
34:08
arrived the archaeologist after the 1748
34:12
inside they founded a sort of 15 10
34:16
pieces of bread but carbonized bread
34:18
okay not for it that with the same
34:21
technique of the plaster cast that's
34:22
possible
34:23
to look and to renovate, to replicate in
34:27
one museum. Okay? And look at the
34:29
bakery. That's an we have a lot of
34:32
grinder. A lot of times in this bakery,
34:35
we have a sort of secret room. Why?
34:38
Because the Roman people love the
34:40
clandestine gambling dance. We have a
34:43
sort of unvisor
34:45
with a sort of key password they
34:48
entrance inside. And which kind of play
34:51
the craps. Why this? Because the
34:53
archaeologist founded the fake game
34:56
dice. Not classic game dice, fake game
34:59
dice that's made with wood enormous.
35:02
They over a part of game dice. They put
35:05
the rocks.
35:31
The
35:31
>> guy is referring to this area as Beverly
35:34
Hills
35:35
because this is where the very rich folk
35:37
lived.
35:52
Each kind of people in the shop the
35:52
slaves one house like this
35:56
of this family that arrived from the
35:59
Persia actually Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
36:02
Okay. The owner of this house is called
36:05
Casio family. Okay. That arrived for the
36:08
first time in Rome and after arriving in
36:11
Pompei as well. Okay. And we have the
36:14
color right and left rest of the color
36:17
right and left. And imagine the
36:18
implovium. The imploium that's a typical
36:22
pool that the Roman people utilize for
36:25
take the rain water. Imagine that we
36:27
have one enormous partic made with the
36:29
cement and bricks. And in the center we
36:32
have one skyline, one open ceiling that
36:35
arrived the rain. The rain arrived down.
36:38
Underground we have a sort of system
36:41
made with the bricks that the Roman
36:43
people utilize the water during the
36:45
summer time that don't rain enough. And
36:48
in fact on the on the left we have the
36:50
pots that the Roman people open for take
36:52
the water just the fake just the coffee
36:55
because the original stain in the Naples
36:58
made like this painted in black and the
37:01
couple of hives that's made with
37:03
diamonds the real Okay. We have two we
37:06
have the in front of you. This is the
37:09
typical bedroom. Okay, it's called Kuba
37:12
in Latin language. Okay, because it's so
37:15
small. Inside we have just a little bed
37:18
made with rocks and when arrive at the
37:20
frozen time the slaves look inside the
37:23
rain water. We have the imploium for the
37:27
thermal bat the 3G with the cold water
37:31
as well with the four column for
37:34
decoration. We have uncountable spaces
37:37
for other kind of activity like musical
37:41
concert, tragedies, [music] comedy,
37:43
spectator. Why this? Because when arrive
37:45
at the night in Pompei, we have a lot of
37:48
criminal. We have a lot of teeth that
37:50
want to shape the rich people. So during
37:53
the night, the politician's family, the
37:55
politician make a lot of party. And in
37:57
every cottage like this, we have all
37:59
inclusive, every kind of service start
38:02
from the bat. make the concert make the
38:05
musical the private brother as well.
38:08
Okay. And now
38:11
behind my shoulder that's possible to
38:13
look one of the two important rooms that
38:16
we have in this house. That is the
38:18
typical private office. In Latin
38:21
language it's called tablinium. Okay.
38:24
Imagine with your mind that outside we
38:26
have one and almost sliding doors that
38:29
the people like you wait here for speak
38:31
with the boss. Which kind of things?
38:34
Contract, business, political election.
38:37
Okay, look at the mosaic. That's
38:39
wonderful. How the Roman people 2,000
38:42
years ago renovated the mosaic, the
38:44
friskus, the painted. Nowadays, it's
38:46
very easy easy to make because we have
38:49
high technology. 2,000 years ago, the
38:52
Roman people utilized the shell dust. We
38:55
have the ocean. They take a lot of
38:57
quality of shells like mader, abalone.
39:01
They break all the shells with a lot of
39:03
colors. They put in the pots with
39:05
pigments and lead created a sort of one
39:09
of the great mosaic that we have in
39:12
Ponte. That is the mosaic of the battle
39:16
of Iso with Alexander the great on the
39:19
left up the horse and Darius of person
39:23
with the yellow helmet is a sort of
39:25
battle with the Roman that we have on
39:28
the left and the Christian people that
39:30
we have on the right. This kind of
39:32
mosaic it's great two millions 5,000
39:36
pieces okay that's painted only with the
39:39
five colors okay and it's longer 9 m
39:42
it's height the Alexander the great up
39:45
the horse that have one energetic view
39:48
because they stay for way okay I will
39:50
remember that we have this kind of
39:52
mosite because we have the battle of is
39:54
so true that made in Turkey okay and the
39:58
ancestor of this family replicated one
40:01
image of the battle that happened before
40:03
that they arrived in Pompei. Okay. And
40:06
now we arrive of Italy. It's a kind of a
40:09
false marble that we have in Pompei. Why
40:11
this? If you look at the column in the
40:14
other side, we have three steps of work.
40:17
First step rocks to cement
40:21
rocks. Second step, we have all it's all
40:25
covered with a pillow of bricks for make
40:28
sort of regular color. Okay. after they
40:31
put a lot of ster and after they painted
40:35
with your favorite color white, blue,
40:38
red, yellow. Okay? Because the color the
40:40
marble that's very expensive arrive from
40:43
the north and they arrive with a lot of
40:46
times because we have 500 700 kilome
40:49
respect to the north like kara Florence
40:52
and Turin and now that's possible too
40:55
only difference that downstairs we have
40:58
other kind of stripes of civilization
41:01
that arrived before the Roman
41:03
>> another diagram
41:04
>> when we entrance I told you that in
41:07
compare we have the atrusan we have the
41:09
Greek we have the Roman this kind of
41:12
stripes that's a stripes of the Greek
41:15
people that arrive in 400 BC the Roman
41:18
people arrive in 200 BC so we have a
41:21
sort of windows of 200 years when arrive
41:24
the Roman people here and don't like
41:26
this kind of highlights like for example
41:29
a couple of graves like the terminal bat
41:31
on the left or the thermopolus on front
41:33
of you very simple they cover everything
41:37
with the sand and after they rebuilt the
41:39
new one up the hole what mean this that
41:42
in every regions in every district of
41:44
the Pompei city if we start to dig a lot
41:47
of me that's possible to look
41:50
uncountable stripes of the people that
41:52
arrived before the rock okay and now
41:56
finish the explain we have seven gate
41:59
is one of the seven gate that we have in
42:01
Pompei. A lot of slaves, a lot of people
42:06
exit from the tower for arrive up the
42:09
Vidus Vulcan for cultivate the graves
42:12
and the oil. The distance is 2 kilome
42:16
climb. Okay. I try to climb the Vudus
42:19
Vulcan on foot. 5 hours behind this
42:23
tower. 5 hours for a ride up 900 m.
42:27
Okay. with my motor bike 15 minutes.
42:32
So, it's a a lot of meters, but so climb
42:36
that you walk slowly.
42:37
>> So, the guide wanted to stress the fact
42:40
that this was not all covered in lava.
42:42
People make that mistake and I wasn't
42:43
really sure, but this was all covered in
42:45
ash. The lava was just outside of town.
42:54
So there was no lava flowing through
42:54
here, just volcanic ash. Enough to just
42:58
kill everyone that was here.
43:17
>> This is amazing with the glass. Okay,
43:17
that's all authentic without. Why?
43:20
Because if you look at the power in
43:22
north, west, east, you don't have all
43:25
the pieces and look at the decoration
43:28
inside the chapel. It's possible to look
43:31
at the pars. Okay, it's not as not the s
43:35
of birds that we have in Europe from
43:38
Africa. Okay, what you mean is this that
43:40
a lot of slaves survive from the Africa
43:43
and the slaves are not stupid people but
43:45
are a lot of times engineer and they
43:48
decorated a lot of times the houses
43:52
if you look up that's possible to look
43:54
at the dolphin the fish as we have not
43:57
in Europe but we have also always down
43:59
the up the other kind of wall other kind
44:05
of this is all rebuilt okay also The
44:08
column are rebuilt. If you look at the
44:11
rooms inside
44:14
here, that's possible to look other kind
44:16
of stairs that provide up to the second
44:19
level of this house. But if you look at
44:21
the roofs,
44:24
the archaeologist created the second
44:27
level. But the true level that is we
44:30
have in front of you that we have the
44:31
ampy cavities for created the second
44:34
floor. Okay. The component of the family
44:37
live in the first floor. Why? Because
44:40
during the summer time that we have a
44:42
lot of humidity and the hot can arrive
44:46
40 45°
44:48
because imagine that we have a lot of
44:50
houses that are close. For example, if
44:53
you look in the other side, that's
44:54
possible to look the house of the
44:56
anchorage. Okay, that the archaeologist
44:59
renovated the gate.
45:24
Look at that.
45:24
That is really something else. Though
45:26
the chore is kind of winding down now.
45:29
It's an expansive property.
45:32
You got a basilica up there, a destroyed
45:36
basilica.
45:38
And then you got the volcano.
45:41
>> And he just, you know, it just shows
45:43
what it left in ruins.
46:09
see all the scaffolding, all the work
46:09
they're doing on it, renovations, and
46:14
constantly fixing certain sections up.
46:16
So, it's made up of original pieces,
46:19
recreated pieces,
46:22
restructured pieces.
46:24
Pretty
46:30
amazing. Pretty amazing place.
46:30
>> The group had I booked online, I met at
46:32
the meeting place, got in a van with a
46:34
big group of people, about 15, 16
46:35
people, and then the driver and the lady
46:38
who was the guide on the van, dropped
46:42
the group off to meet up with an
46:45
archaeologist. And that who has been
46:47
that's who's been giving the tour. And
46:49
then we're going to separate
46:51
from the archaeologist and meet back up
46:54
with the van driver and the other guide.
46:56
This didn't work out as well as I
46:58
thought it would, but I didn't really
46:59
need it. I just kind of stayed close to
47:00
the guide. I tried to when I was away
47:03
from the guide, I tried to turn the
47:04
audio on. There's a lot of cats out
47:06
here, too. There's a kitty. There's a
47:08
Pompei kitty.
47:11
Go hand this back in.
47:17
All right. Getting ready to get back in
47:17
the chore van. get back over to area
47:20
towards my hotel that I had to walk to.
47:22
I stopped by the little sandwich shop
47:24
there. And I got a little bag of
47:26
pistachio
47:27
circular treats. Never had these. I've
47:30
never had pistachio flavor, but I don't
47:32
know what this is, but pretty good. I
47:34
thought it was like a pretzel. It's a
47:36
pretzel texture, but not a pretzel.
47:41
Pretty good. Just had one. Pretty tasty.
47:45
Got dropped off by the tour van. Now
47:47
walking back up to my hotel which is up
47:49
on the side of the hill up here. Got to
47:52
walk up this way and around and up
47:54
there. Have a little street carnival
47:55
here. Check out Donald with the crazy
47:58
eyes. Almost looks like he used to was
47:59
holding like a gas pump or something
48:01
that has been torn off. And Mickey also
48:05
seems to have been like a gas station
48:07
attendant and they ripped off that as
48:09
well.
48:11
I don't think it's a coincidence. think
48:13
is intentional because another Donald
48:16
has been had the gas pump ripped off.
48:20
>> Interesting.
48:23
>> Look at these old vintage classic little
48:27
quarter machine. Like a little rocket
48:30
over there. Little clown car motorcycle.
48:33
It's cool. Oh, this one. Not only top of
48:37
the gas pump, but also Donald's head's
48:38
been ripped off. Oh, here's what they
48:39
used to look like before they were torn
48:41
off. Mickey looks very happy pumping the
48:43
gas. Donald over there as well. That's a
48:47
really cool retro looking.
48:50
It's like a trash can with a giraffe
48:52
head, giraffe neck coming out of it.
48:55
Yeah. See, here's another one. They
48:56
ripped the
48:58
That one's lost the gas nozzle.
49:12
Went over to Pompei.
49:12
Back over on this side of the bay now.
49:14
Take a look.
49:17
Sailboats out here.
49:19
>> Right next to where my hotel is. A
49:21
little section over here where they're
49:23
all pulling in, landing.
49:26
Birds taking off.
49:29
Mount Vuvius.
49:32
Very cool experience.
49:34
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
49:35
next video. The vlog
49:38
>> is over.
