Tonight at 8 PM on Secrets of the Dead you can join in the examination of the site of Herculaneum, Italy which was totally engulfed by Mount Vesuvius 2000 years ago. The violent end of this seaside town literally sealed the town in a “time capsule” where even foodstuff, clothing and statues were incredibly preserved. Geo-archaeologists examine and rush to preserve the amazing finds in this documentary while uncovering clues to life in the town.
