Herculaneum is the only site where you can appreciate the domestic architecture in all its aspects and decorative elements with original frescoes, mosaics, and more than, the only archaeological area with original carbonized wooden structures like doors, shutters for windows, timbers, lintels, and more.
You can also appreciate how much the coast line level changed after the eruption when billions tons of mud engulfed the whole town and the shelter for boats by the little port where hundreds of human skeletons have been found, belonging to those inhabitants who were hoping the sea to calm down and sail away. Sadly it never happened and those poor people, died in fraction of seconds, of thermal shocks after their bodies were invested with 750F° volcanic debris.
