This is where I spent my Sunday evening! 😍
Have you ever been to this amazing archeological site? 🏛
Welcome to 📍
During Mt.Vesuvius eruption in AD 79 Herculaneum city has been the first town down the slopes to be destroyed.
It has been hit first of all by blazing clouds - we are talking about a cloud of about 400º/ 752 ºF hot- and then by debris, lava, mud that buried the city down 20 meters / 65 feet of volcanic materials. Although this material made excavations very difficult, it preserved Herculaneum.
The archeological site of Herculaneum offers a detailed impression of the ancient Romans lifestyle.
The special conditions of humidity made possible the conservations of all the organic materials such as wood, ropes, clothing and food.
Due to the fact that few human remains were found during early excavations, it was assumed that most of the inhabitants escaped toward Naples.
The video has been shot in the House of Neptune and Amphitrite, 1st century AD
