Very well done episode on the destruction, rediscovery, and race to preserve the amazing discoveries of Herculaneum. When buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, it preserved a remarkably advanced way of life in ancient times-- leaving behind the elements of daily living and technologies preserved in such a unique way that even wooden furniture and organics--like a loaf of bread fresh from the oven, were saved in remarkable condition. This is an archeologist's dream--one that overshadows even Pompeii.
