In this history documentary we bring the Aftermath of Vesuvius to life be recreating the first 24 hrs of the infamous 79 AD eruption and the ensuing Pompeii Disaster.
We begin by exploring what the ancient Romans knew about Volcanoes. It turns out that they were quite familiar with them, especially with the nearby active volcano of Etna in Sicily. As such they developed many explanations for their causes ranging from the religious to the scientific. With regards to Vesuvius itself, the Romans did in fact have records of it having erupted in the distant past but in more recent times it was believed to be dormant.
We then explore the region immediately around the volcano before following the unfolding events when it erupted on one afternoon in late 79 AD. Our story follows the reactions of those in the immediate vicinity, their escape, and the daring rescue efforts which ensued. This is the first 24 hours of the Vesuvius eruption. We will follow up the episode with the events of the following day and conclude the series by looking at its later re-discovery with the Pompeii Ruins and Herculaneum Ruins.
The Mount Vesuvius eruption stands as one of the worst ancient natural disasters of Roman history and is among the top 10 most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in terms of casualties.

In this 3D history documentary we bring to life the True Size of a Spartan Army to unlock the secrets of its strength. The documentary begins with a summary of the basic soldiers which made up the Spartan Army. We then review the organizational hierarchy of the Spartan Army from the 36 man Enomotia to the Morai. We then simulate the Spartan Army in camp, on the march, and in battle order.
