"Unearthing Pompeii: Spectacular Discovery of Black Banquet Hall and Trojan War Frescoes"
Archaeologists excavating new sites in Pompeii have uncovered a sumptuous banquet hall adorned with frescoes of mythological characters inspired by the Trojan War, part of a project to shore up the ancient city. The black-walled hall, used for refined entertaining, features figures like Helen of Troy and Apollo, designed to entertain guests and provide conversation starters. The excavations aim to improve the hydrogeological structure of the park as the region copes with climate extremes threatening the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
