That will be a handy thing to know when Yellowstone blows up about 10,000 years from now. I'd love to go back to Pompeii (but not in July...my GOD it was hot!) and I'd love to visit Herculaneum as well. Fascinating stuff!

The off-limits parts of Herculaneum would be great to visit. Herculaneum, because it was closer to the big kaboom, would up having a lot of wood structures survive, such as (carbonized) doors that still swing on their hinges (one reason visitors are not allweed in), upper storeys of buildings, and of course, that archive of ancient scrolls that “scholars” have spent 170 years or so trying to destroy by opening them one by one.
