If you ever wondered what life was like in ancient Rome, a visit to Pompeii will give you a deeper understanding of daily life. Located outside of Naples, the bustling town was preserved after being buried under volcanic ash during the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

드론으로 본 폼페이의 모습 고대 로마의 삶이 어땠는지 궁금하다면, 폼페이를 방문하면 일상생활에 대한 더 깊은 이해를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.  나폴리 외곽에 위치한 이 번화했던 도시는 AD 79년 베수비우스 화산의 화산재 속에 묻혀 보존되어있다. 이 드론 영상은 폼페이의 주요 도로들 중 한 곳을 통과해 화산을 보기 위해 휙휙 날아다닌다. 폼페이에는 도로에 지금처럼 배수 통로 및 하수도 시설이 있었다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator

Thanks to Rusty's History Zone, it's possible to preview the archeological site without having to step foot on an airplane. The quick drone video does a fly by through one of Pompeii's main thoroughfares, sweeping up for a glimpse of the ominous volcano.

If you're curious about the raised blocks that appear on the stone road, they actually served a practical purpose. In Pompeii, the streets functioned as drainage channels and a sewage system. The blocks allowed pedestrians to cross the road while keeping themselves clean, and the raised stones have just enough space so that carts and carriages could pass unencumbered.

Since Pompeii was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, there have been concerns about its state of conservation. Its enormous size coupled with a myriad of problems related to weather deterioration, vandalism, and a lack of funding for conservation have raised red flags. In fact, the site has been at risk of landing on UNESCO's World Heritage in Danger list. Luckily, there are many Italian and international organizations, such as the Pompeii Sustainable Preservation Project, that are working to keep the site in good condition.
