Why were the scientists trying to change the narrative around Pompeii? Terrific work as always

This is a subject that has long fascinated me. I visited Pompeii a few years ago, and this was before they made further excavations and new discoveries. Herculaneum, the alleged holiday destination of the wealthy at the time, is another place I want to visit, as it is even better preserved than Pompeii.

Sam, I've been drawn to Pompeii for decades. I've shown a video to students who couldn't believe what they saw.

The people in Pompeii had never seen or heard of volcanoes. The evacuation could've begun sooner, if only they'd known what was about to happen.

Excellent account!

Hugs
