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.

The UK Prime Minister’s demand for an early General Election looks set to be rejected by Members of Parliament after opposition parties agreed it shouldn’t take place until after the European Union Summit in mid-October.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru the party of Wales say they won’t back the government’s bid for an election. They declared they wanted an extension to the Brexit date of October 31st to guarantee that the UK won’t leave the EU without a deal.
On a visit to Scotland, Mr Johnson accused them of making an “extraordinary political mistake”. It came as the House of Lords approved a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit. It will get royal assent and become law on Monday.

A post-Brexit trade deal has finally been agreed, four and a half years after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it would protect jobs and provide certainty for business.
After months of talks and frantic last-minute wrangling over fishing, negotiators finally reached agreement on Christmas Eve, with just a week to go before the deadline when the UK’s transition period was coming to an end.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula Von de Leyen, described it as a good and fair agreement.
Some business leaders said the agreement had come as a “huge relief”. However others — along with some British politicians — said they would wait to study the details of the agreement before reaching a judgement on it.

President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman – a US ally – if it “gets in the way” of his administration’s own talks with Iran, Fox News reports.
The US and Oman have separately been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.
The threat came after the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides expired. The future of talks between the US and Iran is now unclear.

Ukraine is set to be approved as an EU candidate at a leaders’ summit in Brussels, after the European Commission gave the green light.
Ukraine applied days after the Russian invasion and the process has since moved at a record speed.
Candidate status is the first official step towards EU membership but it can take many years to join and there’s no guarantee of success.

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.
