The narration of the vid is in Italian, if that bugs you, I can't fix it, so don't write in, okay?

So they should learn Italian, not that hard, capesh, yeah?
Very interesting tour, and an unbelievable reconstruction of what one day in the life of a Roman city must have been like in the year 79 AD.

We visited Pompeii last summer and got lucky on the guide, who was an archaeologist, not just a tour guide. He said 40 percent of the city is unexcavated although they're confident that the main civic buildings and temples have been done. It would be great if modern conservation methods allow more of the mosaics and paintings to remain on site. Up to this point, most of them have gone to museums for safekeeping.
Do you have any idea how they are doing on the plaster casts of victims? A lot of them were destroyed before diggers realized what they were. I presume more were destroyed by treasure hunters who didn't care. If there are completely unexcavated sections, a modern dig might discover a lot of them.
