    It would be cool if a virtual reality experience of the entire Pompeii tour could be made. That way people can tour what it used to look like when it was bustling before the volanic eruption. They could experience it with the people moving around, enter their living and business areas but without interaction. I would pay 💰 to experience that.

    I was just in Pompeii one month ago (had a similar interest in ancient Roman life) and your video does a great job presenting it! I think the CG renderings are great, they give a sense of what the city would have been originally. Also I also liked the complex houses that were built over time, often joining multiple properties.
    Also don’t miss the Archaeological Museum in Naples - that houses a lot of the original pieces from Pompeii. You can spend a whole day there as well!

    This video was dazzling! Everything about it was great-just the video and the editing are outstanding-but I especially liked the focus on the houses of Pompeii 15:46 with the description of interior features, e.g., the _peristyle_ and the _atrium,_ and how they hold together the invisible “craziness” of the perimeter. The Pompeiians, it seems, had no concept of “curb appeal” whatsoever-not that that’s a bad thing. Every aspect of their homes that mattered-their social spaces, their status markers, their art-took place on the interior. It’s something that had not occurred to me before.
    Also, I _really_ appreciated that you respect the original languages enough that you include them in the etymologies (e.g., Περι and Στυλος 18:48) and in the historical texts (the accounts in Latin of Pliny the Younger 26:38). I don’t know Greek or Latin but I’m very roughly “familiar enough” with each one that having the _actual_ language is meaningful.

      @stanislavkostarnov2157 11 місяців тому +1

      we do not get that today, how much, for an even slightly significant person, the house would not be a private place but a very public focus, a roundabout of social interaction where the owner would strategically reveal himself to the world through the decorations and presentation he chooses...

    • @stanislavkostarnov2157
      @stanislavkostarnov2157 11 місяців тому +2

      with street "curb-appeal" we must remember how dense the city was in terms of population... if any space existed or could be rented from the houses, the sides of any streets would be filled with shops and stalls visually covering any buildings with their bright wares and clothen structures....
      walking along the street, there would be commonly no visual of the surrounding houses like we are used to today... the only exception being the doors (which would have presented works of art), or the great gateways of the super-rich...

    I was in Pompeii last week. It absolutely fascinated me. I would love to go back and spend more time on a cooler day. Hopefully that is possible someday. Thank you for the great video .

    Really liked this video! The music choices were really great and I think they added a lot to the weight of the subject matter.
