Unpopular opinion: I think the hype around the Pompeii discoveries is kinda overblown.

I mean, sure it's cool, but we've known about it for ages lol. The new scans showing fresco details are neat though.

Watch everyone lose their minds over some fancy old wall art.

Nah, it's way more than just wall art, @valw69. Getting to see how they lived back then is actually mind-blowing.

Honestly, I felt the same way for a long time. Seeing the new scans of those grocery lists and graffiti changed it for me. It's not just a ruin, it's a snapshot of real people.
