Buried Cities (Pompeii and Herculaneum)
- 1962 ----- color ----- 13 min ----- 16mm
- Excavated homes of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as lifelike portraits of the inhabitants, their colorful mosaics, paved streets, temples and household goods are pictured in the process of being retrieved from a hundred feet of volcanic encrustation. Shows the meticulous care with which the archeologist assembles the broken fragments. The teeming life of twentieth century Naples is contrasted with the mute scene of Pompeii and, in the background, the seething cauldron of Vesuvius helps explain the disaster.
- Topics: (Archaeology, Art: History)
