The first picture looks down from above. Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D.

Pompeii was mostly destroyed, but Herculaneum was north of Pompeii and was covered by Hot Mud over a period of three days, which left little to no oxygen for decay.

This shows what has been dung out to reveal the city.  The sea coast came up to the arches and were places to put supplies for ships. So one side is the old coast line where the docks were and the other side is what covered the whole area--- mud.

 Those are wine pots -- so this would have been a bar.

 It is difficult to see but the thing that looks like a cross is really a laundry press. That is the original wood, marble and metal used to press out the excess water in the laundry room.

 This also shows the original wood, now encased a glass. ( Home of a wealthy family)

 The floor of this home has white cat eye marble that shines in the night.

 One of the many walls in the original color and beauty.( with the wood beams in the ceiling)
