Pompeii, as far as people know about it, is an ancient city of Rome where the earliest form of civilzations were once existed. Normal lives of the people were observed from this small community. However, life changed when the fury of Mt. Vesuvius erupted killing 20,000 of its inhabitants alive.

Centuries have passed after the tragic incident in 79 AD, archaelogists started to excavate and discover the ancient Roman civilization in 1748. Before the volcano erupted, there were around 2,000 people who have left and evacuated, however, there was no enough time to save the rest of the people. Thus, leaving an instant death toll of approximately 16,000 especially in the town of Herculaneum, the most affected town.

Part of what the archaelogists discovered based from what they have seen from the remains of Pompeii' inhabitants were the horrified faces as they faced their final moments in an instant death. Such evidences were uncovered through Professor Giuseppe Fiorelli's method of learning about people inside the hardened cavities. As  the father of 19th century Pompeii excavation and modern technology, he introduced the way to excavate the area without damaging the original forms of the people in their last hours before they were buried alive.

Among the thousands of bodies they have seen, what they generally noticed were the the four like the man's horrified face when he knew he was about to die, a mother and a child, fleeing person with frozen open palm, and a man with an outstretched arm trying to escape death.

But, apart from these historical stories written for so long ages, what people don't know is there might be some hidden stories behind the tragic incident. Was it part of God's curse to these people? Perhaps, this might be conclusive. But why?

From centuries of its archaeologic excavation, just a few years ago, it was discovered that there were particular stories which Pompeii can't directly tell to people. For several years, they remained confidential since the archaelogists fears that it would totally change the view of the people towards Pompeii and how they knew about based from the historical knowledge told. 

Ancient Origins mentioned about the Romans away of endulging their selves to life's pleasure. According to the site, the excavators were able to dig some of the sexually explicit frescoes which were really "quite shocking to the sensibilities of medieval citizens of Rome,: they added how they immediately reacted to these facts, "so they quickly covered them over."

Apart from the entirely intact artifacts found in the site, including the loaves of bread still in the oven, bodies of men and women including children and their pets, they also discovered the activities where the early Romans engaged in for pleasure-seeking.

The same site source cited about the brothels which were located in every corners of Pompeii. Literally, in every corners. But the Lupanare (Latin term for wolf's den) was the biggest. It was a two-storey building where it has ten rooms and a latrine under the stairs. In each room, there is a stone bed covered with nice mattress where the prostitutes could entertain their clients. One surprising thing about this building are the erotic wall paintings depicted different sexual positions for intercourse and it functioned as an advertising board for the various specialties that the brothel could offer. 

The erotic nature of the things on-going in Pompeii can be the same as the modern pornographic business industry nowadays. Based from the paintings and all the images that suggested extreme eroticism existed in every corners of the place.

Apart from these facts introduced by the archaelogists, they also presented how the clients of the ancient times had fun time with these brothels as seen from the graffiti they left behind. In one of the inscriptions, it said, "I screwed a lot of girls here." Another said, "On June 15th, Hemeros screwed here with Phileterus and Caphisus." One interesting fact is that only the ordinary Romans go to these places since the rich can afford to have mistresses or they can slave concubines since they can pay them higher.

These artifacts were recovered and now displayed in Naples Archaeological Museum along with Pompeii's erotic frescoes. Another surprising thing is that even when King Francis I of Naples when he visited the Pompeii exhibition in 1819, he felt embarrassed by all the erotic artworks displayed.

Nowadays, this site can be visited for a fee of around 10 euros. However, before this site was forbidden for some areas where extreme sexual images were displayed.
