    When I visited Naples Herculaneum was practicly voide of tourists, it's astonishing how many people seem to miss this place. It's such an amazing portal back in time.

      @@clumsydentist5576 It’s still much less crowded than Pompeii, and most of the trains from Sorrento don’t even stop there. It’s a shame, but maybe that’ll help keep it intact for future generations

    What you thought were ovens were the flour mills. Just got back from there. Kinda wish we had visited Herculaneum instead of Pompeii as we had limited time. It was nice to see some of the cool stuff we missed in your video.

    In 2011, we stayed at a smaller hotel in Sorrento that was up the slope a ways. It had a great breakfast and even better coffees. Sit on the deck overlooking Naples bay, wondering exactly where Nero tried to have his mother killed. Pompeii was MUCH bigger than I imagined and it was overwhelming even though I'd studied up on it in past years. So overwhelmed I totally forgot about Herculaneum..what a bummer, but we were headed to Rome the next day where we really got overloaded with details. After that it was Florence which was boring and wished we'd spent 2 more days in Rome.

      Hopefully the video gave you some idea how moving it is to visit Herculaneum. And I totally understand, one could study ancient Rome for years and barely scratch the surface.

    Love your narration, sense of humor, and knowledge. My husband, son, and I will be going to Italy in 11 days, so I have been studying. . This video helped me understand even more. You did an excellent job.

    I can remember a past life as a Roman soldier who was sent in as part of the rescue operation at Pompeii and Hercilaneum. This was in late August of 79 AD, as related by Pliny the younger. The area was a disaster, with foul stench under a hot sunny bright blue Italian sky. There was a road that ran up to and under the ash layer where Pompeii lay buried. Where the city had been was a flat plain of pellet size pumice. Mount Vesuvius could be sent in the distance with wisps of steam drifting from it's bare crater and slopes. We had our white conical shaped tents set up along the road near the city. There was a tree line nearby where could be seen where the ash flow had stopped. There were very few survivores of the Vesuvius eruption as only those left the place at the start of the eruption had escaped alive. I would be interesting others who recall being there at the time could offer their comments.
