An ancient beach in Italy, previously concealed by the infamous eruption of Mount Vesuvius almost 2,000 years ago, has been unveiled after meticulous restoration efforts.
Offering his insightful comment, Italian Culture Minister, Gennaro Sangiuliano, said: "This site has been hugely redeveloped and is becoming a gem. We are within one of the most important archaeological areas in the world with Pompeii, Oplontis and Herculaneum and we are also working a lot in terms of resources. The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum is a great historical memory and the value of history.
Conveying his vision about the project, Francesco Sirano, Director of the Archaeological Park, stated: "The ancient beach is an extraordinary and unique place in the world. To preserve it for the future, we have reduced the risk of continuous flooding and the dangers to the stability of the excavation fronts and the seafront of the ancient city.", reports the Mirror.
The town of Herculaneum, which lies in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, was entombed under a three-metre layer of volcanic ash following the infamous eruption. It is believed that over 1,000 people perished as a result.
