It is a dramatized documentary that tells of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 24 August 79 AD, portraying its different phases of eruption, which continued for over 24 hours.
This eruption covered the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in ash and pumice, killing all those trapped between the volcano and the sea. Day turning into night as 4 billion tons of pumice, rock, and ash burst forth from Vesuvius.
This film use uses archaeological evidence, including the writings of one survivor, to unravel the mystery of those final hours and its impact on the lives of the people as they saw the tragedy unfold before their eyes.

thanks for the video i needed it for missing assignment in social studies
@littleniyah haha true. Besides if it is his work, how can a GOOD person do such HORRIBLE things? Oh well, we’re all going to die eventually. Asleep would be the best way to go.
@jmitterii2 More like OVER due now…
@godkingRoss If it’s healthy for EVERYONE to show disdain (i.e. Brits, Romans, Kenyans, everyone…) then is it a healthy ATTITUDE, rather one group being better than another? Why is it healthy? If a Brit could go to Kenya and influence their culture, would that be bad? Why? Would a Brit in Kenya threaten their culture? Is that cos Kenyan culture is better? Or is it just that no culture should be changed by an outside culture? If so, does that mean that cultures should not develop?
The next one is due.
lol, BBC and their race propaganda, 7 mins in and I’m like “I get it, there were black people in Rome” In truth Romans had a healthy disdain for all foreigners and would mock other “ethnicities” frequently.
34:42, how about you cover the guy’s f****** mouth like you’re covering your own, frigging dolts.
@Sweden8990 Yes and he appears earlier in the video than 11:10
11:10 is that the butler from Downton Abbey?
This documentary is pretty inaccurate, most people in Pompeii died within 10 minutes of the eruption. The gas reached the city within 3 minutes and caused almost instant suffocation.
@JazzieJ4eva Well, for certain, the messenger that made it to Pliny asking for rescue for Rectina.
@CombatArmsPeteFredlo OMG, you can’t be serious! Helpless people, who’d never heard of your Jesus? How is that a godly thing to do? If your God does evil things like that, why do you worship him? Gods can’t survive without worship.
@Funny0Grrrl I think that is from a novel. Many ppl seem to think it’s true.
@Kenshiroit Lucky you! I have been there, but only for one day.
This is not accurate. The eruption didnt happen like that, with no warning. Many ppl knew it was coming and had left. All the fish were dead, poisoned by sulphuric acid, the wells were dry, the mountain shaking and smoking and earth tremors common. And they did know it was a volcano, the geographer Strabo had identified it as one about 300 years earlier, but they had believed it extinct. So it wasn’t ‘like any other day’. They were expecting another earthquake like the one in AD63
I cannot put my finger on it, but for some reason the guy playing Pliny the Elder is so hot. He looks so….manly.Tim Pigott-Smith, that’s it.
@EilisLornaWalsh2 since your response was more civil than previously noted…i shall withdraw my slander
@simbakafiri We DO have heads. They’re attached to our necks. And when a did a woman make a bad critical decision in this documentary? Doing nothing is worse than doing something and being wrong. As the narrator so eloquently put; this is a time for decisive action. And besides; you could have made all the right decisions in record time and still have died. Who got out was largely based on who had luck’s favour than on who choose right. (And who choose right was largely luck and chance anyway).
@ livemusicskatedie – I havn’t watched that bit yet! Spoiler! :p
@livemusicskatedie But he didn’t die first. The rock injured him. He wasn’t dead. Inhaling toxic gas killed him. He died more or less at the end.
@simbakafiri At least we think with our heads and not our ball sacks.
@Saada706 Done a lot of favours for people? Or not? Your profession. How much money do you have? What/who do you own? What skills have you accumulated? Where do you live? Do you know your way around the city? Are you fit and healthy? …… The choices people made (based on their current situation, past experiences and personality) dictated who lived and who died. And if they did die, how they died. Pumice would have been a featuring factor.
@Saada706 Were you a slave, freedman, citizen or aristocrat, etc.? Were you wealthy or poor? Were you married? Was your wife pregnant? Did you have children to look out for? Your character, predispositions, and priorities. Are you loyal? Are you complacent? Careless? Unhurried? Too attached to your wealth? Calm? Panicked? Well prepared? Fast thinking? Compassionate? Self-sacrificial? Ruthless? Your friends and allies. Were you popular? Wealthy? Lots of connections?
@Saada706 Even falling pumice stones were a danger. And they were a danger in their own right. Ever stood in a hailstorm? Hail hurts. Pumice would have been significantly worse. And some of the bigger pieces were certainly capable of causing minor injuries. And let’s not forget that, in many cases, whether you lived or died was dictated by many different factors conspiring together to produce a certain outcome. For example: your social, economical, and marital statuses.
