Life in Pompeii | David Suzuki uncovers ancient city’s secrets
Produced in 2016, this documentary follows David Suzuki on a journey to ancient Pompeii, where modern science is uncovering the city’s oldest and deepest secrets.
Pompeii — the ultimate ghost town — was buried beneath volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Despite more than 250 years of excavation, historians and archaeologists are still working to piece together a complete picture of this lost city of the Roman Empire.
What was life really like before disaster struck nearly 2,000 years ago?
Located on the coast of Italy, south of Naples, Pompeii was once home to around 12,000 people. The same volcanic ash that destroyed the city also preserved it in extraordinary detail. While the world knows how Pompeii died, Suzuki explores how its people lived, loved, worked, and thrived.
