Beyond five feet of this unassuming park appearing entrance lurks some of the worlds most important history literally frozen in time.

Pompei Roman Ruins VR Archeology Excavations Of Pompeii
Piazza Immacolata, 80045 Pompei NA, Italy
Excavations of Pompeii entrance is a regular occurrence as with many parts of Pompeii it's difficult to get past alot of Bureaucratic red-tape due to the sensitivity of the Archeology, fascinatingly the closer it is to the modern main road the easier is to in comparison to get building permission so the outer perimeter of pompeii where it reaches our modern high-streets is under regular maintenance.

The further you trek inside Pompeii the more gentle you need to be but pompeii has a border perimeter highstreet right beside it, an entire enormous tourist economy right beside it so getting stuff dug up here can unearth some valuable secrets and creates a beautiful vista for that tourist economy.

As you can see the trees just over the border are aligned exactly as the modern high street trees confirming they just said yep place and uproot the perimeter of pompeii so it looks pretty having zero to do with real Archaeological planning or forethought, while at the same time interesting yet somehow mystified as Archeological folk are very territorial protective creatures.

So many places in Italy for an education school trip but Pompeii would certainly be on the top5 places to visit for an educational experience that no other country has to offer.

The outside looks a little gimmicky with stalls and souvenirs shops but the closer you get to the redbricked entrance the more professional it appears it just seems to be swamped on the outdoor highstreets with souvenir stalls selling tat.
You can see the dozer equipment just over the fence just tearing the earth below for modern structures, only possible on outskirts.

It's amazing how easy it seems to be for the outskirts of pompeii to get construction approval because the outskirts of an ancient city has its own story as that's where you would hoard assets away from prying eyes of Roman guarded merchant cities such as this one was, it looks alot easier to get construction permits on the outside because as you get a few hundred meters past this area any construction approval becomes impossible.
