They can't be a representation of geometry.

The stone balls are weights for throwing nets to catch animals. The bronze dodecahedrons are for weaving wires and then compressing them into decorative chains

I believe the balls are "Juicer Balls". Push down and roll over fruit and you get fruit juice. Better than drinking water all the time. I believe the dodecahedrons are "Lots". Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart. It's for making decisions by chance like rolling the dice. The knobs at the corners helps make it easier to tell which face is facing up on uneven surfaces.

Why is it that when archeologists don't understand something, the go-to is always "It could be of religious, ritual, or spiritual significance?"

Lyme disease was created in a biolab in the 60's.

Boce ball!!!

NEXT VIDEO... Atila the Huns urinal discovered

Platonic solids are relegated to forbidden Archeology. Truth is Archeology and Science hides the truth from the greater public. Be careful what you know. The whos and the whys are a secret that is closely guarded by the true powers that be, and they're not who you think.

Looks to me like balls to cause a hollow wooden box to sound like thunder when rolled from one end to the other

Thought i was going to learn something new Fake News

Woke manipulation warning. An Anatolian found in the snow capped mountains was dark skinned and North African? Uh huh. Try again mojambo.

So the DNA sequencing indicated he was shot by an arrow? Who knew? 😂

Let me guess, he's Joe Biden's long lost relative! The resemblance is remarkable!

3:10 Centaur!! Note the cloven hooves and ne behind!! Wonderful!!

Absolutely not one word about the marble figures in the thumbnail. 👎

I don’t care what it was used for! That blue is fabulous!!!!

Another piece of the puzzle

Wow just realized that probably all those statues and everything were painted everything had color that’s way even cooler

I thought I read in the news they are opening it

I wonder what Pompeii would be today had it survived the blast.

They look very like how human cells divide after fertilisation.

Ну почему ви такие не умние?! Только увидив ето я сразу догадался о его предназначении. Сделаному из метала еще нужна палка для удобного его применения. Понимаю что узнав ответ вам прийдется стидливо заткнутся о сверхестественном. Присилайте официальний запрос и я вам аргументировано докажу для чего все ети приспособления.

What did the thumbnail have to do with the story ?

Very interesting!

That feline should be a leopard, as it is the most common feline used in ancient murals. It is one of the symbols of Dionysos...

Oh, groan ……. did they also happen to discover the origins of hyperbole!

It’s BC!!!! Not BCE. Before Christ

Who wants to live in an expensive mansion with smell of piss from laundry attached on other side of your dining room

Thank God, the western imperialists didn’t get the opportunity to plunder China’s great archaeological treasures unlike the pyramids of Egypt.

Like "pizza," flat bread with toppings, doesn't exist in some form all over the world.

Where did they get the pigments to color paint? How did they make paint?

The black room I think was done that way to make the frescos stand out, they showed up better with a black background and then also for the lamps but with the lamps burning in a dark room the light from them would illuminate the frescos

They don't want the world knowing the 1st Emperors of China were black of African desent. It will mess up their history. Look at the terracotta army, all the heads gone so you can't see their black features. The truth cannot be contained forever.

Assholes

This video sucks big time.

They now discovered that the eruption occurred sometime in late October.

Click bait!

All this video wanted to say was that Israelis have been in the Holy Lands for milenia. Other than that it told me nothing worthwhile. They could have done it with a much shorter video.

Absolutely beautiful frescos

Fantastic video - thanks a million.

Interesting as I have never seen these ascpets of Pompeii before. I hope you will do the same with Herculaneum

Didn't learn anything new here, same old tired narration.

So, the title says that these new discoveries change everything....what exactly did they change?

"That Change Everything" (from the title) - no, the discoveries do not change everything. They're neat, add to our knowledge of that era of the Roman culture in that region, and are worth the mention. But they don't change everything we know about Pompeii.

The very fact that most houses in Pompeii contained a lararium is proof enough that religious practices were not confined to public places and temples. Domestic worship was the norm and not an exotic exception.

I've known about this branch of the river since i was a child. Even saw simulated drawings of the fact that the pharaoh could ride his boat right up to the temple in front (if i remember correctly). Glad they finally found proof!!. Not aliens!. We humans have ALWAYS been intelligent!!.

Thanks for posting this most recent discovery!. Such vivid decoration... I guess we will always love classical design!. So simply designed, yet so dramatic! in its overall design. Your channel is awesome!. Subbed!.

So fascinating! Each new discovery informs us and we crave more! ❤

Always overwrought conjecture re religious significance attached to everything. Amphorae obviously stored upside down in what may or may not be a chapel room. It is presumptive to say this room is sacred in any way. And if it ever was, it was last used for storage. People were no more fervently religious than they are now. People are people, at any time in history. Too much conjecture.

Our vosit to Pompeii in July of 1995, as fascinating and incomplete as so much has been discovered since then... Love these virtual tours of some of the more recent finds.
