Pompeii and Herculaneum are allegedly Roman era archeological sites in southern Italy. They are located near the Tyrrhenian coast, south of Naples. According to mainstream historiography, the towns were destroyed by the 79 AD large Plinian (the origin of the name) volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Europe's most active volcano.[W 1][W 2]
The sites were discovered "by accident" between 1709 (Herculaneum) and 1738, when two palaces were built which would later host the artifacts found at the sites. Following the War of the Spanish Succession between the Bourbon and Habsburg families, the Kingdom of Naples changed rule to the Habsburgs (1711-1735), after which king Charles III of Spain became the ruler of Naples. He together with his wife ordered the construction of various buildings around the time. The couple was involved in the construction of villas with sculptors, painters and other builders, and they were on site for decades.
Emmanuel Maurice bought poperty around 1709 and started excavating until he left for France in 1716. He is not supposed to have met Charles but they couple had seen his Villa.
Convicts, slaves and children were used in the excavation of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
Summary
- 79 AD
- the eruption could not have happened in 79 AD if we have multiple maps of the 16th and 17th centuries where both Pompeii and Herculaneum are shown
- only 1 witness account of this eruption exists, that by Pliny the Younger (the origin of the term Plinian eruption)
- his account is not convincing
- 1631
- the account by Masculi (1633) about the eruption of Vesuvio in 1631 does exactly describe the events alleged to have happened in 79 AD
- the description itself is convincing for the destruction of the two towns
- various sources have described this account as describing those of 79 AD, or at least "very similar"
- 1709-38
- according to historical documents, Herculaneum was discovered by accident in 1709
- after the discovery the excavations were "stopped for almost 20 years"
- king Charles III of Spain (ruling for just 3 years) saw the villas of Emmanuel Maurice and wanted the same for him and his wife
- in 1738 the finds were made public with the convenient construction of not one, but two palaces and a third already existing one
- the finds were allegedly discovered at just 600 m from the main museum, the Palazzo ....
