Benefactor DonnaML Posted April 12 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted April 12 My thanks as well. I can only hope that archaeologists continue to uncover more of Pompeii (and Herculaneum) on a regular basis over the next decade or two. I always love seeing what they find, and I'd hate to miss out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientJoe Posted April 12 · Member Share Posted April 12 Incredible! I've been to Pompeii three times now and there's always a reason to go back. The Naples Archaeological Museum is also a must-see where many of the painted walls now reside; I only visited that last year and was absolutely blown away. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted April 12 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted April 12 Fascinating, it looks like 35-40% of Pompeii remains unexcavated, who knows what treasures might be uncovered? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
