Herculeum
We went to Herculeum which was a village like Pompei that
got buried by the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD.
It was lots of fun because we could see how back 2000 years
ago they built stuff
I also took funny photos because I was bored.
I was AMAZED how there were still carvings on the walls
after 2000 years
Some houses were bigger than others and the owners had many
slaves. All houses were built with an
identical layout that included a winter garden where there was hole in the roof
where rain came through and was captured in the pond beneath. This water was used to clean the house by the
slaves. The bedrooms, kitchen and office
was around the edge of this pond. The
summer garden was just like a NZ garden with the bedrooms based around the
garden.
And it was a fishing village right by the sea but then it
got covered by the volcano and now it’s more than 1km away from the sea.
