It is wrong for the people conserving and reconstructing method on the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In conserving method of letting tourist in, as they caused more issue including dipping rubbish and writing on Walls and vandalise and crime stealing gold and silver and historical treasure the entire only tourist problem. There is also a thread from nature as animal dropping and plants root such as ivory growing on the walls of the side and the roots seek into the walls and made it unstable. In the methods on reconstructing the sites there might be using the wrong method as sometimes the use of concrete to stabilize the walls also ripen at a much faster speed. Most frescoes survive today are some are regonlise.in It is uncertain that it the correct answer to excavating the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
For the process of excavating and protection to excess to exist, they need founding to continue the work. In the past for the excavation work to process, funding is needed and often by very rich man. And often reasons for is personally interest and the methods of excavating are reckless. Even the new methods of excavating are trying to protect the place such as in 1997 Italian parliament passes law stating that Pompeii and Herculaneum receive all money collected from entry fees.
Letting tourist into the sites are very destructible as that is the main reason the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum have a “second death.” About 2.5 million people visit Pompeii each year making it one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. Tourist leaving the rubbish and the hands touching the wall scrape off the colour from the fresco and stealing morsels of marble as souvenirs destroy the monument at a very slow and pain staking way...

...the sites Vesuvius national park opened and the 1997 the Pompeii, Herculaneum, stabiae and the Villa at Oplontis declared World Heritage Sites. These laws can help out better conserve the sites. In 1997 Italian parliament passes law stating that Pompeii and Herculaneum receive all money collected from entry fees help the sites to have more money and also created the problems as tourist leaving rubbish behind and taking pieces of the stone from the sites and hands touching and backpack scraping the wall make the colour paint from frescoes wall to deterioration even faster. As Alexander Stille in The future of the past: The loss of knowledge in the age of information. “State that conservation work is to slow down the forces of deterioration and change which people are actually concerted the present “which offers a highly distorted, fragmentary version of the past.”
The Pompeii exhibition at LACMA was an astounding visualization of history. The exhibition provided all sorts of objects; from sculptures, glass figures, painted art, and more. These art pieces specify the kind of life that was taking place in the Bay of Naples during the second century. As we know the cities around the Bay of Naples, which include Pompeii and Herculaneum, became tourist attractions when the cities were excavated after they were buried from the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. However, the comprehension of how the art pieces made their way into the museum is just a little fact of the history behind them. With this exhibition we are able to feel like we are back in time and living in the exhilarating time of Pompeii.
As time passes in the eighth century B.C, Etruscan and Greek colonization encouraged the growth of Pompeii as a city. Important trade routes became a place for trading near the inland. Until the middle of the 5th century B.C, the city was run politically by the Etruscans. In the course of the 6th century B.C, the influence of Greek culture is also accepted by terracottas, ceramics and architecture. A crowd of warriors from Samnium, Samnite, invaded the area somewhere in the 400’s B.C. Pompeii continued as a...
The city has remained intact until the present day because of being buried so quickly. Not only are its buildings complete but also the contents inside the houses and shops have been preserved. This provides a fascinating picture of "daily" life in Pompeii. The walls of the houses are covered with electoral propaganda messages or risqué jokes aimed at particular citizens. The signs on the shop doorways indicate the activity carried out there or the name of the owner. The workshops and utility rooms found provide evidence of the daily routine performed by workmen and slaves.
Pompeii erupted in 79 A.D. When Pompeii erupted, the whole city was destroyed. After it erupted, volcanic ashes completely covered the city, preserving the buildings and bodies. The eruption exposed the city’s 20,000 in population (of the city) to blasts of hot air with temperatures of up to 482.00ºF, which was hot enough to kill even those people who were hiding inside stone buildings. People have forgotten that Pompeii was even real, and it laid buried under the ground for hundreds of years and archaeologists are still working on the site of Pompeii to this day. People today still question
Archeology is presented in a way that, at the beginning of the film, legitimized the existence of Atlantis. Towards the end of the documentary, though, geological understanding presents Atlantis as a fantasy, seeing as it is disproven via additional examples in Bimini and so on. The past, in particular, is being presented as a myth due to the fact that although archeology, in some facets, supports the existence of Atlantis, other more fundamental assets disprove its existence. Said archeological facts led to different interpretations of whether Atlantis was or wasn’t at one of the four sites—Bahamas, Crete, Knossos, or Thera/Santorini. These observations, though, aren’t slanted. Towards the end, they are deemed inaccurate and holistically unsolved, but the inclusion of both sides of the argument make it rather impartial in terms of analysis. The concluding results, in my opinion, was purposefully left out until the end. The juxtaposition between the support of the site and direct falsification enables us to reexamine how we view these four circumstances in reference to archeology. By omitting said pieces of evidence until the end, we are able to see plausible discrepancies in the archaeological realm. Said discrepancies of interpretation such as a lack of appealing to additional specialists, such as geologists,
Pompeii, a town in Naples, Italy was built in 600 B.C.E. It housed around 20,000 people and was a busy port city for the ancient Romans.Nearby Mount Vesuvius, which is 7 miles away from Pompeii, stood 6,500 feet high. Pompeii became covered in ash by a volcanic explosion from Mount Vesuvius. This eruption also caused devastation in other cities like Herculean and most of the surrounding countryside. The eruption happened on the twenty-fourth through twenty-fifth of August, 79 C.E. The eruption took around 25 hours to cover the city. There were signs that the volcano was ready to erupt since there was a major earthquake that had happened 17 years beforehand and smaller earthquakes happened in the years just before the eruption. The town of Pompeii was only discovered around 300 years ago by archaeologists and excavated in 1748. The ash covered everything and the town people's casts are still there, more the shape of their body and not their actual
This two-part project will look at this problem. Part one will explain the main causes and nature of the damages: World War II air raids, the earthquakes (especially 23/11/80), vegetation, water, erosion by tourists, atmospheric pollution, and restorations. Most of the information for this paper comes from Jean-Pierre Adam's book, Dégradation et restauration de l'architecture Pompéienne, which is a very thorough and detailed description of the degradation of Pompeii. Part two will deal with what is or should be done to prevent further damage and restore what has been lost, which includes proper restoration, control of tourists, and effective management of the site a...
Imagine that one piece of history that is taken from a town. This piece of history tells l people how this town was built and all the important people that were apart of the community. “Returning Antiquities to Their Countries of Origin” by Joyce Mortimer can many people about how objects are getting taken from Museums. They should be returned immediately. There are so many artifacts out there that could be so important to people, and if someone can just imagine what it would feel to have one of the most important object taken from a museum and to be never returned again. Many people enjoy seeing these objects so why are they being taken?
It commenced in 2001 with the aim of halting the widespread decay that afflicted the ancient site of Herculaneum, and to develop a sustainable maintenance programme following immediate conservation. The project focuses on the urgent situations for structures and decorative features. It has been successful in reducing one of the major causes of decay by limiting water infiltration and pooling, as rain has a weathering and eroding effect that hastens the fading of paintings and frescoes. Rainwater damage also includes collapse of buildings, such as the crumbling wall of the Temple of Venus in Pompeii revealed in Source G. The ancient sewer network has been reinstated and since 2008 this drainage system has been used to collect and channel at the water towards the sea. Ensuring the protection of decorative features such as mosaics, frescoes and plasters is also difficult because they are often exposed to decay phenomena from the Mediterranean weather and climate of the Campania region. At the beginning of the Herculaneum Project, the state of decay of the decorations was very serious. It was common for individual features to experience multiple conservation problems, including plaster coming away from masonry, flaking of fragile paint layers, detachment and loss of mosaic tessarae. Part of the project involved safeguarding all the decorative features in a single building, working on a house by house basis, and performing conservation actions across the site where necessary. Since then there has been a general improvement to the overall stability of Herculaneum. Due to this success, many areas which were closed due to the fragility of their decorative features have now been reopened. Despite achieving its primary aim, the challenge now is in transforming this emergency works campaign into
Vinovia ruins have aspects that are preserved almost as well as Pompeii. “The baths still feature original floors, windows and doorways, and plaster shards indicate that their seven-foot-high walls were once adorned with colorful designs and drawings” (2). Without the ash to preserve the structures like Pompeii, it is astonishing that the structures were preserved so well. “The most unique feature of these remains is the sheer scale of their preservation” (2). Alike Pompeii, Vinovia is exceptionally preserved.
History is around us all and for most of us history is just a museum away. However a misrepresentation of artifacts in museum can negatively impact generations to come. The history of a civilization whether it be past or present society can learn from. It is important that these artifacts are portrayed in a manner of respect with integrity. Correctly displayed artifacts from past cultures can have a profound impact on the way one views a civilization. Some people have correctly figured out how to display these objects; others have struggled to find a credible way to show the past.
Public History sites, such as museums, monuments, and memorials, have become a big part of American History and culture. They preserve, interpret, and project history and memories to the American public, who largely do not attend a history class after high school. They are sometimes the only knowledge of history some people get. These places are not only educational places but also places of political and cultural backlash. Public history sites have lots of severe issues because the museum staff follow the popular culture and do not want to offend the mass. These issues are what caused great political debates such as the fight over civil war monuments.
They often become the landmarks of the city. (Evidence need). Some historical museums memorialize a person, event or place. The museum itself is a historic site that has memory meaning, so the process of visiting the space is considered as a part of the exhibition. That is one of the most important reasons why museums have become the landmark of a city. As there are more and more documents that have historical value and should be collected in following years, the museum will become much more important our society and city. Rossi gives an example of Alhambra in Granada. The Royal Family is no longer exists in the palace, but this palace still is retained as a city museum. Because the historic site is surrounded in a certain environment, have certain spatial and material forms, an architectural design should respect the value and meaning of the historic site. It should be researched for its history in a typology
Many historical artifacts have been lost or destroyed over time. Archaeologists should relocate artifacts from their ruins to museums to help keep these pieces of history alive. Relocating the artifacts would ensure they are salvaged and preserved and help guarantee these artifacts would be protected from those who wish to damage or vandalize them. Relocating the relics to a museum would allow the public to value and view ancient pieces of theirs along with other culture’s history.
Important value of the World Heritage irreplaceable is an important resource in today's social development cannot only promote local tourism, economic, social and cultural development; it is the base of scientific research and education. Is to explore human wisdom, civilization and the natural wonders of the track source of knowledge. Forbidden City rich culture and important historical value have a significant impact on research and dissemination of Chinese culture. Scientific management, protection of heritage, moderate development is the basic framework of the World Heritage management system. Through case studies from a critical perspective of the National Palace, the Forbidden City found many problems in the future, warning people to protect the world's cultural heritage.
