About Herculaneum1 Sound Effects

Herculaneum is less famous than Pompeii but even more remarkably preserved. It was a vibrant Roman town on the Bay of Naples until it was entombed in molten mud during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, the superheated wave that struck Herculaneum preserved wooden furniture, frescoes, scrolls, and even food in eerie, vivid detail. In 1982, archaeologists discovered the remains of over 300 Herculaneum citizens, who sought shelter in boat sheds near the ancient shoreline, when Mount Vesuvius erupted. According to legend, the town was named after Hercules himself, who was said to have visited the area during his mythical travels. “You could hear the shrieks of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men... some were calling for death in their terror of dying.” - Pliny the Younger #Herculaneum #LostCity #AncientRome #Vesuvius #Pompeii #Roman #history #Archaeology #HistoryUnearthed #TimeCapsule #Hercules

The tragedy of Herculaneum. #italy #herculaneum #history #romanempire
At the ancient Roman site of Herculaneum, nestled near the modern town of Ercolano in Italy, the discovery of over 300 skeletons along the shoreline vaults offers a haunting glimpse into the final moments of a catastrophic event. These remains belong to men, women, and children who sought refuge from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Unlike Pompeii, where victims were caught mid-action and buried in ash, the people of Herculaneum were killed almost instantly by a scorching pyroclastic surge—temperatures soaring over 500°C—leaving their bones charred and their lives frozen in a moment of sheer desperation. Today, these skeletons rest in boat chambers near the ancient beach, some still clutching jewelry, tools, or the remains of loved ones. Their preservation offers archaeologists and visitors alike a poignant, deeply human connection to one of history’s most devastating natural disasters. #Herculaneum #DarkHistory #Skeleton #SkeletonsOfHerculaneum #Bones

Herculaneum scrolls update: WE HAVE AN ENTIRE SCROLL! Luke, Yussef, and Julian have used machine learning to ‘unroll’ an entire Herculaneum scroll for the first time in 2,000 years. Only 5% of the scroll has been translated so far but it is an original philosophical piece, likely written by the resident philosopher, Philodemus. #archaeology #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #liminalitytv #archaeologytiktok #ancienthistory #history #historytiktok #ancientgreek #vesuvius #greece
