This is really well done. The pace is perfect, the added information is great. Leaving the natural sounds in and not disturbing the silence with music or narration is perfect for a place like Pompeii.
These videos are so quiet and respectful. I get the sense that you really love what you are filming and you pause over things with reverence. Thank you so much.
Hi Deborah, I am really glad you enjoyed all the Pompeii walks. I went there recently while it was empty and filmed another tour. I'll try to get it posted up soon. Thanks for watching .
8:13 Sorry for posting so much, but I just keep geeking out over the details. You know what's so cool here? When I was in Rome at the Colosseum, they said that the pavement stones in the street around it, while they were the original stones, weren't actually laid out in the same pattern they originally were, because of how torn up the roads up had become throughout history, which is why they are so uneven and hard to walk on, however, look how perfectly flat and walk-able the stone work is here. You know there was some guy who's job it was to place those stones, and the pride he must have taken while building them and when he was done, and how it's still amazing over 2,000 years later.... How many modern roads will people be marveling at in 2,000 years? Like I said, I geek out over the details of history.
However the stones on th Appian way, oldest road leading in to Rome remain as there were and smoth as well. What amazes me is that, for now, we are still allowed to walk all over the roads. Due to disrespect from the few unfortunately in England, some monuments are completely closed off.
@@ProWalks I am not wheelchair-bound but I do have severe mobility issues. There is no way I'd be able to walk all of this. I'm so appreciative of all your efforts. Thank you so very much for sharing.
I first visited Pompeii in the 19060s as a young man of 23. This wonderful video brings back so many memories of those times. thank you for resuscitating happier (not always, Cuba, Cold War) days for me. In those days women were not permitted to enter the Lupanar. I also recall a modern restaurant where I had lunch. It wasn't too hard to imagine the diners as ancient Pompeiians. Once again Many thanks.
Hi Lee, Thanks. I'm glad you like this series better. I still have several more to get posted up. I am going to do one video of the whole walk I think instead of several shorter videos.
@@Anzy2221 What a stupid Muhammed you are ! The people of Pompeii were just as you are: HUMAN. If your God is in the destructive power of a volcano or a earthquake, then your God is "mother" Earth and you must be a stupid sex addict.
id give my left nut my left eye and my left arm to just be able to go back in time for 24 hours. probably choose the Antoine period just because of the stability.
Thank you for this video. I’ve always been fascinates by Pompeii and saddened by the tragedy that was their demise. Watching these videos makes me feel closer to the place and the people. Almost like going back in time.
I think I only ever saw a photograph or two of Pompeii before. Never in my wildest dreams would have thought it actually looks this amazing or even this big. You instinctively knows what your future audience would appreciate to see while you`re filming it seems. That`s a gift
Hi, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. My hope is it feela like you are taking the tour instead of watching me take the tour. :) let me know if there is another place you'd like to see and I'll try to go there.
You can also use Google Earth or Google Maps to "walk" around many places, including Pompeii. The quality isn't as good as this video (the movement isn't smooth), but you can choose which direction to go and zoom in to see details. You can also get beautiful aerial views that allow you to see how the city is laid out.
I would like to thank you SO MUCH. You have no idea how much it means to me to WALK into these rooms. It was a lifelong dream. I took Classical Studies at school and saved to see Pompeii. But after my son passed the bills put this on hold. I will get there. Our ancient life that we have no recollection of how or why is my drive. Bless 😚
You are very welcome! I have more Pompeii walks to post up...and every time I think I'll start working on them again, I get all excited to post up the most recent walk. I walked almost the entire place so at some point it will all be posted up. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you can make it there someday!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your son. We lost our daughter in 2017, at age 27. She had been very ill for 8.5 years before her death so it was a huge adjustment when she was gone. Your entire world is wrapped up in their care for so long and it suddenly all stops. It will be four years this month and I can say we've finally transitioned to our 'new normal'.
I am learning so much from the captions in your walks Pro Walks. I love seeing the ornate tile work, brick work and embellishments. I hadn't realized the saying beware of the dog was so ancient. I wonder how they gave directions to people who were from out of town when they arrived if there were no street names.
Thank you so much for posting all three of these virtual tours! I love how you had alll the information in running text but you kept the tour POV. I actually learned quite a bit and at 51 I thought I knew a lot already about Pompeii. Thanks again!
lol, glad you enjoyed the videos. I have uploaded parts 1-6 and then last year uploaded a new 5 hour walk of all of Pompeii. I still need to finish the captions on that walk. It is a pretty good tour though. More complete. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for these vids, brought back memories walking thru Pompeii in 2006. I remember tearing up when I saw plaster casts of the victims, still haunts me to this day 😢
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. I just posted a new walk of Pompeii. It is 5 hours long and covers pretty much the entire city. It is still processing on UA-cam so it won't be available until the 22nd.
Fantastic! I did go on a guided tour in 2018..but didnt see any of this!! It just shows how vast Pompeii is! I mean I saw alot and even the brothels!! Haha..where I had to laugh as it was the older mature people was fighting amongst themselves to try and get in there before anyone else! One literately manhandled me to get infront of me! Where I exclaimed "I think the women are busy you'll have to put your name down on the list"!! It got laughs!
This is my first “visit” to your channel and I’m impressed! As for Pompeii, I am awed by the sophistication of the city and the culture. To think of the time and work that went into carving each decorative statue in the bathhouse... They would be awed by our electronics, but I find their accomplishments more impressive.
:) Hey, glad you took the time to visit! I'll be posting up a new Pompeii walk soon. I posted up parts 1-6 but there is still a lot more to see so I decided to walk it all again. I'll also be including some drone footage so you can really see how big Pompeii really is. Thanks for watching!
That's great! I have several more Pompeii videos to post up but unfortunately I keep finding new projects. I hope to get the rest posted up soon. I also went back recently and re-walked Part 1 when there was better lighting. Thanks for watching!
More than remarkable, truly a gift from the Gods! I can easily imagine the chatter, the rumble of carts, the shouts from the homes and shops, the smells of cooking food. The Roman culture was so far in advance of Britain's, it must have seemed truly alien to people used to a roundhouse with no baths! I noticed the ruts in the roads from the carts, I suppose, like now, they would have closed the road for repairs right in the middle of the tourist season!
THANK YOU.💕💕 I have always wanted to see Pompeii, but unfortunately I can't afford it and will probably never get to see it. Your walking tour puts me there. Thank you. 💕
Thank you. This is just mind- blowing. As an American, we don't have much over say 500 years old. These structures and items being close to 4 times older than anything I can see here just fascinates me.
Superb sir excellent as we cannot afford to make this type of expensive tour but I feel IAM in Pompeii through your video sir thank you very much for this excellent video sir
There were lots of things/areas they passed that I wish were recorded 😢 Still one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen! Visiting Pompeii is one of my dreams, though I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford to go! With that being said, Thank you sir!!!
Just found your site yesterday fascinating, I love this thank you . When I came across #1 I thought to myself "I could watch hour's. And hour's of this was surprised to find so many more part's this is wonderful.
I visited pompeii about 5 years ago. A life long dream come true. It was fascinating, however, there were absolutely zero trees and very little shelter from the shade. We went the end of May and it was hot 🥵. It was also crowded. Especially in the bath areas with people entering and exiting. Probably best to go during an off time when fewer people are there like this guy did who is filming this. I wish I would have had a huge hat or an umbrella. Also, there is tons of walking. This place is huge but well worth the trip if you can get over there👍🏻
Well-done, interesting seeing streets of Pompeii in 4K. --- Going up the Via di Mercurio, appears _one could see Vesuvius in the distance,_ now not so imposing. Yet for those who stood trembling, panicked, paralyzed with fear, distressed, and poised to flee, --- _what a sight the awakened-volcano must have presented,_ --- with massive-billowing black cloud-column rising to giant gaseous outspread. expanding-ceiling! Accompanying frightful rumbling-spectacle, powerful lightning-flashes and jagged-bolts, huge roiling ash-cloud rending and illuminating in the growing gloom, with mighty-booms and thunder-claps, along with deep earth-tremor rumblings, from below, as ash began to rain-down alarmingly from above. As Pliny the Younger mentions, it was as if the whole World was ending. --- Pompeii and Herculaneum's world certainly was! Then came successive pyroclastic-flows, rolling down the summit, perhaps appearing like roaring dark-land cloud tsunamis, fast-approaching. --- The final-one, extinguishing all remaining life, human and animal! Thence, sadly, the final burial.
As every of your walking tours this one is a great job. I just don't agree on one subject: Pompeii is not the oldest archeological site in the world. Maybe is the largest but not the oldest.... Thank you for sharing!
Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying the walks. Yeah, I think the wording of that fact could have been better. Pompeii has been an archeological site the longest.
Absolutely love all things about Pompeii. This has made me feel like I'm actually walking the streets. We have an exhibition at my museum where I work at the moment with real artifacts from Pompeii and it's awakened my interest. I'd love to go one day with my mum who is in her seventies. Can you tell me what time, and month you went? it's so quiet. The thought of tons of people put me off going but the place is virtually empty. Thank you for this, keep posting.
One just marvels at these magnificently built structures, the perfectly aligned and constructed street scapes, complete with paving stones, all built by hand, no modern machinery, I look at them in awe!
I visited Pompeii in the late 60's. We went early in the morning and my dad bunged the guard some cash and he let us in. We had the place to ourselves. I remember the body casts vividly. There was one of a couple making love. Not seen it on any video or Documentary since. Would love to go back again. I'm guessing loads more has been exposed over the last 50 or so years.
Another great tour. Obviously built to withstand earthquakes and an efficient use of space and resources by having party walls with internal courtyard gardens. Even though it was condensed living, privacy was not an issue. It must have made for completely harmonious living conditions. No wonder they chose to remain complacent during the development of inevitable volcanic explosion.
Thank you for this. My only complaint would be that it was like seeing Pompeii with my dad. You go to fast and won't stop so I can look in every door. It was really great. Thanks again
Hey Julz....yeah, that's probably true, but Pompeii is huge. I posted up parts 1-6 but never finished parts 7-10...so now I am posting a new Pompeii tour this weekend. It is all new. 5 hours long and covers 8 miles of walking around Pompeii.
Hola Hermoso viaje a Pompeya da para reflexionar el Poder de los volcanes y eso que estaba no tan cerca del volcán .Cuántas ciudades se encuentran hoy en día a las faldas de grandes Volcanes destructivos . Dios lo Bendiga muchísimo 🙏😃🌺
When I watch the view your walking on the stone road, there are two lines of wheels impressed to the stone road. It make me think that the Great city Pompeii is still lived just yesterday.
Great camera work; steady hand, even when walking on uneven surfaces. I wondered about something at minute 12, which was not described in the subtitling. In a shop on the cameraman's right were three turrets (possibly ovens?) with what looked like tajine cones on top. Would Moroccan food have been served on the streets at that time? If so, how did they get the food in and out, because it looks like these cones are permanently fused to the turrets? (Then again, if human bodies were turned to stone, who knows what other fusions took place in that incredible heat.)
Hi MaryEllen, glad you're enjoying the walks. So those turrets are the bases of the wheat grinders. That was a bakery. They had mules hooked up that would turn the stone and grind the wheat into flower. I don't know what other kinds of foods they served. I'll add a description in my next Pompeii walk.
I would like to visit the ancient city pompei one day, I want to see how beautiful the western architecture is, I am Thai and I have never been to Europe
Man, this must be hard work. You shot it all in one day? You went early in the morning, i guess, because there are relatively few visitors. Beautifully done! One question: at 12.03, are these containers for urine? Urine was worth quite a bit of money and was used in the production of leather. Wouldn' t want to have worked there, though ..
Hey, thanks. I did originally do the whole walk in one day but I went back a couple more times because of crowds, the weather, and to film a few things i missed. So, at 12:03, i think that is a bakery and those are the bases of the wheat grinders.
We have in Algeria two major roman cities, among many other roman ruins, located in the north of the country, they have a similar style as this city, wish you could take a trip to them, you'll be certainly amazed.😊 Oh I almost forgot, they're called Jemila and Timgad.
If anyone cares there's a gecko on the stairs at 6:55 in the video 'a Thermopolium', bottom middle of the screen, bottom right of the first step, full screen. That's the only thing my eyes focused on.
very interesting video.Are you sure,though, that its the oldest archaeological site in the world? what about the pyramids,Stonehenge etc etc. Still very enjoyable.
Hey, thanks. So, what I said was accurate but it wasn't worded as clearly as it could have been. Pompeii was the first site to be excavated as an archaeological site. A site like Göbekli Tepe is much older but it didn't become an archaeological site until 1994.

For those of us who don't have the resources, the time, or both, this is an excellent way to see Pompei. Thank you for uploading this.
I saw pompeii, and this is like a retrospective guided tour. I wondered what a lot of the buildings were, this clarifies a lot of it.
Great way to see the Ruins of Pompeii

At one point did they re set the stones? Was it after the discovery?
Who made up the names for the roads and buildings?
Thank you for posting this. As a person who is wheelchair bound, I would have never got to go on this tour. Everything was just simply fascinating.
Hi Sherry, I am glad you enjoyed this tour. I am posting up a an updated Pompeii walk this weekend that covers then entire city.
@@ProWalks I am not wheelchair-bound but I do have severe mobility issues. There is no way I'd be able to walk all of this. I'm so appreciative of all your efforts. Thank you so very much for sharing.
These are great. No music. No talking. Just experience the energy of the day with the photographer. ❤
Thank you very much for this wonderful trip to the past,the beautiful Pompeii,still in my bucket list 💙

Agree. I love hearing the videographer’s footsteps, the clank of a gate, the light breeze. If there had been music, I would’ve muted it.
@@drkatel Hi Dr.Kate. I'm glad you enjoyed to video. I am posting up a new Pompeii walking tour this Saturday, February 22nd.

14:00 LOL! So cool when you see an open gate! It's like "We get to go inside!" :-)
It's hard to imagine everything is thousands of years old and so well-built and imagine how many carts and wagons it took to wear grooves in the roads
I remember growing up in this City 😊
This is my first “visit” to your channel and I’m impressed! As for Pompeii, I am awed by the sophistication of the city and the culture.

By watching your videos my family and I have had such a fascinating conversations about pompeii and the eruption.
That's great! I have several more Pompeii videos to post up but unfortunately I keep finding new projects. I hope to get the rest posted up soon. I also went back recently and re-walked Part 1 when there was better lighting. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video it is wonderful how advance they were in that era of time.
This was so interesting. Thank You for sharing.
More than remarkable, truly a gift from the Gods! I can easily imagine the chatter, the rumble of carts, the shouts from the homes and shops, the smells of cooking food. The Roman culture was so far in advance of Britain's, it must have seemed truly alien to people used to a roundhouse with no baths! I noticed the ruts in the roads from the carts, I suppose, like now, they would have closed the road for repairs right in the middle of the tourist season!
Excellent walking video of Pompeii. Very nice stability, as so many of the walking videos are quite jerky with panning that is too fast.
THANK YOU.💕💕 I have always wanted to see Pompeii, but unfortunately I can't afford it and will probably never get to see it. Your walking tour puts me there. Thank you. 💕

i like how they put the cafe where they sold drinks etc right accros the baths. they would have a drink before or after the baths.
Those baths are in amazing shape 🎉
Really enjoy, our tour was so very crowded, we were rushed through. Love the captions you posted.

So up to date with the 21st Century! Engineers..artisians..bakers..to day to day living ! Awesome.
I’m reading Wilhelm Jensen’s ‘Gradiva’ which is set in this very part of Pompeii. Great video, as always! Thanks.
Absolutely love all things about Pompeii. This has made me feel like I'm actually walking the streets. We have an exhibition at my museum where I work at the moment with real artifacts from Pompeii and it's awakened my interest. I'd love to go one day with my mum who is in her seventies. Can you tell me what time, and month you went? it's so quiet. The thought of tons of people put me off going but the place is virtually empty. Thank you for this, keep posting.
This place was amazing!... :)

Looks great. The city has so much history as well. Would been interesting to see how it looked 500 years back or so
Well 500 years back it was still buried but 2000 years ago would be pretty interesting. :)
What a miracle of civilization. Thank you.
love the videos there one thing that i noted, in all the films, it was so quiet in all the streets and the buildings.
It is definitely nice to visit when it is not full of tour groups.
Just a tidbit of trivia here, the 5,250 sesterces spent on the fountain in today's money would cost approximately 15,750.00 US dollars.
@Jake Smith no, but it was money well spent!
Things to do in Pompeii: Amphitheatre on weekends for drama or gladiatorial games, social events at various villas, climb mount Vesuvius
Hi ProWalk. Ty for sharing your adventures and time and videos with us ALL. I appreciate you immensely. New friend here. Happy 2020 from NY State 🏞👍
This is just incredible
Thank you for this amazing video. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Thanks. That is really nice to hear. I am working on the final two hours of the walk right now.
The BBC Documentary with Mary Beard really brings Pompeii to life
Hauntingly beautiful.
Amazing.truly superb walking tour.well done!!
One just marvels at these magnificently built structures, the perfectly aligned and constructed street scapes, complete with paving stones, all built by hand, no modern machinery, I look at them in awe!
I visited Pompeii in the late 60's. We went early in the morning and my dad bunged the guard some cash and he let us in. We had the place to ourselves.
I remember the body casts vividly. There was one of a couple making love. Not seen it on any video or Documentary since.
Would love to go back again. I'm guessing loads more has been exposed over the last 50 or so years.
Congrastutalion. Excellent video with nothing but the sound of you walking..
Another great tour. Obviously built to withstand earthquakes and an efficient use of space and resources by having party walls with internal courtyard gardens. Even though it was condensed living, privacy was not an issue. It must have made for completely harmonious living conditions. No wonder they chose to remain complacent during the development of inevitable volcanic explosion.
Thank you for this. My only complaint would be that it was like seeing Pompeii with my dad. You go to fast and won't stop so I can look in every door. It was really great. Thanks again
Hey Julz....yeah, that's probably true, but Pompeii is huge. I posted up parts 1-6 but never finished parts 7-10...so now I am posting a new Pompeii tour this weekend. It is all new. 5 hours long and covers 8 miles of walking around Pompeii.
@@ProWalks oh my I can't wait! That will be wonderful
Hola Hermoso viaje a Pompeya da para reflexionar el Poder de los volcanes
y eso que estaba no tan cerca del volcán .Cuántas ciudades se encuentran hoy en día a las faldas de grandes Volcanes destructivos .
Dios lo Bendiga muchísimo 🙏😃🌺
*Truly Divine!* - *Thank you!* 🖤🖤🖤
When I watch the view your walking on the stone road, there are two lines of wheels impressed to the stone road. It make me think that the Great city Pompeii is still lived just yesterday.
So nice video I enjoyed watching it your videos
Thanks. I have many more walks to get posted up. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this vid with us, bruh. Hope u are blessed with more "funds" so u could travel more..and share more journeys.
Truth is not words! truth is visual awareness!
Great video...
Rich civilisation. Old people knew how to manage their life really interesting
Very interesting on the technology they used back then
I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Thank you so much!
Great camera work; steady hand, even when walking on uneven surfaces. I wondered about something at minute 12, which was not described in the subtitling. In a shop on the cameraman's right were three turrets (possibly ovens?) with what looked like tajine cones on top. Would Moroccan food have been served on the streets at that time? If so, how did they get the food in and out, because it looks like these cones are permanently fused to the turrets? (Then again, if human bodies were turned to stone, who knows what other fusions took place in that incredible heat.)
Hi MaryEllen, glad you're enjoying the walks. So those turrets are the bases of the wheat grinders. That was a bakery. They had mules hooked up that would turn the stone and grind the wheat into flower. I don't know what other kinds of foods they served. I'll add a description in my next Pompeii walk.
Beautiful vidio very interesring,thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wow, just fabulous.
I would like to visit the ancient city pompei one day, I want to see how beautiful the western architecture is, I am Thai and I have never been to Europe
Fantastic
10:02 Wow... How tragic that is...
Man, this must be hard work. You shot it all in one day? You went early in the morning, i guess, because there are relatively few visitors. Beautifully done! One question: at 12.03, are these containers for urine? Urine was worth quite a bit of money and was used in the production of leather. Wouldn' t want to have worked there, though ..
Hey, thanks. I did originally do the whole walk in one day but I went back a couple more times because of crowds, the weather, and to film a few things i missed. So, at 12:03, i think that is a bakery and those are the bases of the wheat grinders.
This is such an awesome channel!
We have in Algeria two major roman cities, among many other roman ruins, located in the north of the country, they have a similar style as this city, wish you could take a trip to them, you'll be certainly amazed.😊 Oh I almost forgot, they're called Jemila and Timgad.
If anyone cares there's a gecko on the stairs at 6:55 in the video 'a Thermopolium', bottom middle of the screen, bottom right of the first step, full screen. That's the only thing my eyes focused on.
Thank you so much for this upload.
It feels that I'm walking on the streets of Pompeii..the remarkable thing in this video is that he remained silent..the details are written.
15:50 THAT'S - SO - AWESOME!
Very nice it is like i seeing the city by myself.. Enjoy alot because video was silent keep it up
You do such a fabulous job! Thank you. Do any of your videos walk past/through Julius Polyibius's (?). House?
very interesting video.Are you sure,though, that its the oldest archaeological site in the world? what about the pyramids,Stonehenge etc etc. Still very enjoyable.
Hey, thanks. So, what I said was accurate but it wasn't worded as clearly as it could have been. Pompeii was the first site to be excavated as an archaeological site. A site like Göbekli Tepe is much older but it didn't become an archaeological site until 1994.
