Alisdair Simpson - Narrator: The people of Pompeii have never seen anything like this before. There is no word in Latin for 'volcano."

Featured review
By far this was the best documentary that l ever saw, Pompeii always invoked my attention since my school days, the unsurprised BBC made a masterpiece blending dramatization with scenes shot at Pompeii rediscovered, each single building on every corner were introduced on a smart narrative, all this was supplied by an priceless gift from the eyewitness called Plinius the younger who wrote all happenings on that day in a book on smallest details, which nobody took it seriously due the newest and weird info on unprecedented scale over the facts, also the Vesuvius and their pumice stone that buried the city, miraculously preserves all remaining buildings, paintings, graffiti art, which allowed to archeologists a best understanding over the Roman Empire, due all others surviving cities already change the whole ancient complex, extremely and highly recommended for those who really want to learn more over the most powerful empire on Earth ever had !!
