In the year 79, a little after midday, a cloud shaped like a pine tree rose over Vesuvius. On the Bay of Naples, seven kilometres from the summit, stood Herculaneum: a small, wealthy seaside town of four or five thousand people, with marble villas, a theatre, and a great villa by the sea whose library held the works of Greek philosophers. The wind carried the falling pumice away toward Pompeii. For twelve hours, Herculaneum seemed to have been spared. Across the bay, the admiral of the Roman fleet, Pliny the Elder, received a message from a woman whose villa lay at the foot of the mountain. There was no escape from there, she wrote, except by ship. He launched his warships and sailed straight toward the eruption. The shoals and the debris on the shore turned him away before he could land. Most of the people of Herculaneum left along the coast road. Others went down to the beach and crowded into the stone boat sheds below the town, with their rings, their coins and the keys to their houses, waiting for boats. Around one in the morning, the column above Vesuvius collapsed, and a cloud of ash and gas at more than five hundred degrees poured down the mountain. In a single night, Herculaneum stopped existing, buried under twenty metres of volcanic rock. But the most unsettling thing about Herculaneum is not the eruption. It is that for two hundred years, everyone believed its people had escaped. Then, in the 1980s, archaeologists reached the ancient beach and found the people who had waited. Today about 670,000 people live in the red zone around Vesuvius, under an evacuation plan that needs seventy-two hours once the alarm is given, while the Italian state admits it cannot say when that alarm will come. In this documentary you will understand why three ancient writers had already recorded that Vesuvius had once been on fire, how the earthquake of 62 was read as proof that the fear was groundless, how a wind that looked like luck left Herculaneum untouched for twelve hours, why a young man's brain turned to glass in the heat, what 340 skeletons on the beach revealed about who stayed and who left, how artificial intelligence has begun to read the carbonised scrolls of the only library to survive from the ancient world, and why a volcanologist who warned in 2006 that the plans were built for the wrong eruption was called alarmist. #Herculaneum #Vesuvius #Pompeii #AncientRome #RomanHistory #Volcano #Eruption #Archaeology #PlinyTheElder #Naples #AncientHistory #HistoryDocumentary
