Pompeii: New discoveries as archaeologists begin biggest excavation in a generation – BBC News
Archaeologists have begun the biggest excavation of the ancient city of Pompeii in a generation.
Several new discoveries have already been uncovered, including a bakery, human skeletons and a painting resembling a pizza.
Pompeii in the south of Italy, was a sophisticated ancient Roman city destroyed by a catastrophic volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago.
Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Italy.

There have been sobering warnings this week from MI5, the UK’s AI Minister and a number of security officials – AI is already a threat to our lives.
But despite those fears, innovation and AI development continues at breakneck speed.
So this week on AI Decoded we focus in on that central question of AI – should we accelerate the development of ever more powerful AI systems, or slow down before the risks become unmanageable?
It’s the question at the centre of a major new film, Artificial, which explores the growing divide between OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever over the answer.
To discuss it all, Marc Cieslak and Dr Stephanie Hare are joined by technology futurist Bernard Marr and AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy, one of the world’s leading voices on the risks posed by superintelligent AI.

The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank.
Several dozen settlers dressed in black charged down a hill near an outpost – illegal under Israeli and international law – to a field where Palestinians and activists were harvesting olives. They torched about a dozen trees and hurled stones from slingshots.
Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was at the scene, was taken to hospital where she told reporters she “got jumped” and described being kicked on the ground.
The UN says the past two weeks have already seen more attacks by violent Israeli settlers than during the entire harvest season last year. It says this year levels of settler violence have reached an all-time high.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from the occupied West Bank.

This week tens of thousands of young people have taken to the streets of Delhi, India’s capital, demanding changes to the electoral system and the resignation of the country’s electoral commissioner. Thousands have been detained by police in the process.
They represent the ‘cockroach’ movement, a grassroots campaign group started by a Boston University graduate in protest at government policies and high youth unemployment. How did a movement that started as a meme capture the minds of India’s young people, and start to pose a challenge to its long-serving prime minister, Narendra Modi?
The BBC’s South Asia correspondent, Azadeh Moshiri, explains.

That plumbing really impressed me. Also the image of the "pizza". Tomato wouldn't be an ingredient since it's from America, but apart from that it does look like a pizza. Pizza Pompeiiana maybe?

I appreciate the videos of Pompeii because I know I will never get to see it in person. It fascinates me and looking at Vesuvius in the background is sort of sobering.

Pompeii was not perfectly preserved. How stupid!! It suffered massive devastation before it was buried. It was then partially looted during the Renaissance. Perfect? NOPE!! Well preserved? In places. But please stop misstating a great story.

Lots of money is needed to maintain what's already been excavated. I don't know how they can do both that and work on what's still to be unearthed. Our guide told me Mr. Packard is paying for some of that because he loves Pompei, but his children have already said they won't spend any money on it when he is gone. If Italy did not have the level of tax evasion it has we could do so much more for our people and possibly also for Pompei and the rest of our artistic heritage.

I am curious to know after getting to know the history of Pompeii I would like to ask those who might know and can answer to my question, my question is are there any ghosts or any negative energy present over there?

I watched this again. Its interesting how they know exactly how the volcano killed them. Far worse then I expected. The outer area's will have the gold and jewels. As they attempted escape. Amazing site. Great work. Thank you.

It's too bad there's buildings where archeology needs to be. They should consider what Israel did and dig under them with huge steel supports for the buildings above.

Imagine living through this and not understanding what had occurred because of the scale. If somehow you could see in to the future, the time it took to tell this story is astronomical.
It makes you wonder what drives science and religion… what the root "need" is for us and our limited time on this planet.
