I’m not sure I agree with her. How long before the tramping of tourists destroy the place?

On the other hand she could easily play Margaret Rutherford’s part in Blithe Spirit. Anyone else notice her resemblance to her?

Most tourists do just tramp through, and the roads and floors are almost all hard paved. There's some graffiti left by moderns, as well as the ancient graffiti which has been studied. Most of the city is still underground. The bulk of the Pompeii site excavations are over a century old. And the city was centuries old when it was buried by a volcano. Oh, it was buried over 1900 years ago. I think it's doing okay. In another century or so it'll probably be covered with one or more domes made of artificial sapphire.
