Buried for 1700 years, the light of ancient Greek and Roman civilization

Recently, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples in Italy brought some exquisite artifacts and artworks unearthed from the ancient city of Pompeii to Beijing, and held an exhibition "The Myth of Pompeii" in the 7th and 8th exhibition halls on the 4th floor of the National Library of Ancient Books. In 79 AD, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius submerged Pompeii and Herculaneum, and it was not until 1700 years later that people discovered this once glorious ancient city. The buried Pompeii and Herculaneum are the living fossils of ancient Greek and Roman civilization, which once contained the glory of prosperity, richness and culture. These two ancient cities, like a time machine, take us back to the heyday of the Roman Empire. The unearthed bronze sculptures, glassware, murals, mosaics, and red-painted pottery show the life scenes of the people of Pompeii during the ancient Greek and Roman times, and their economic and artistic levels have reached a higher level. In that ancient era, Pompeii and Herculaneum were the halls of culture and art. People's lives were rich, artists created countless masterpieces, and the prosperity of the city was breathtaking. The streets here are bustling, the markets are busy, and every corner is pulsating with civilization.
