Museum of the Apocalypse. What Pompeii Tells Us About the History of Humanity
Almost daily in his work, Gabriel Zuchtigel, the director of the archaeological park in Pompeii, encounters traces of the catastrophe that destroyed this city. Unmade beds, leftover dishes, the bodies of victims from the volcanic eruption, frozen in ash. And... at the same time, stunning works of art, such as the statue of a sleeping boy fisherman, who covered himself with a cloak and curled up to keep warm, just like children do today... All of this made Zuchtigel think about what the Antiquity can tell us today, what it reveals about ourselves, and what makes archaeological discoveries important. In his book, he shows that the past does not fade away irretrievably: by speaking of it and uncovering it, we find ourselves in the thick of events, and the goal of recreating that lost world is to expand and rethink our own world.
