Pompeii Facts

A man named Ryan McNaught spent 470 hours building a giant LEGO replica of the historic Roman town of Pompeii, using over 190,000 bricks.

In April 2024, archaeologists in Pompeii uncovered a 15-metre banqueting hall with jet-black walls and vivid frescoes of Helen of Troy meeting Paris - sealed under volcanic ash since 79 CE. Nearly 2,000 years in the dark, and the dinner party was still on.
