Here’s some info from the team. When you get to the bottom, it’s eye-opening. There could be vast amounts of scrolls still buried there. It has the potential to be another Library of Alexandria.

It’s only speculation that there’s another library in the villa.

I love the villa itself (the illustration anyway). Must have been a pain to dust. In fact, maybe the eruption just caused the surrounding areas to be abandoned and accumulating dust buried the whole thing... :^)
