Pompei, le nuove scoperte potrebbero riscriverne la storia

POMPEI. Un’altra giornata intensa al Parco Archeologico di Pompei. Il direttore Massimo Osanna ha pubblicato due foto su Instagram spiegando e illustrando a tutti le nuove scoperte, una delle quali potrebbe riscrivere la storia antica della città.

Nuove scoperte a Pompei

La più recente scoperta riguarda un tunnel scavato nel XVIII secolo che conserva ancora vasi in bronzo e affreschi, non rimossi dagli archeologi dell’epoca perché ritenuti «in cattivo stato di conservazione».

The first excavations that took place in Pompeii in the 18th century consisted of treasure-hunting to find works of art for the Royal House of Bourbon. Usually the excavated areas after the discovering of objects were back-filled and their location was generally not recorded. Here a sector of the new excavations in the Regio V, where an underground tunnel dug in the 18th century was discovered. Bronze vessels and frescos were non removed, maybe considered not valuable things, because of the bad state of conservation. #pompeii #pompei #italy #ancient #archaeology #discovery #bronze #painting @pompeii_parco_archeologico

L’altra scoperta, già illustrata questa mattina dal professor Osanna, ha riportata alla luce un giardino sull’antica via Nolana:

In 79 ce Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the great Roman city of Pompeii under a blanket of ash. The new excavations in the Regio V are removing ash and lapilli to reveal the remains of streets, houses, gardens and shops.
