Archaeologists Make ‘once-in-a-century’ Discovery at Pompeii | BBC News

"A "once-in-a-century" find has been unearthed in Pompeii after lying hidden for more than 2,000 years.

Archaeologists discovered a private bathhouse - potentially the largest ever found there - complete with hot, warm, and cold rooms, exquisite artwork, and even a huge plunge pool.

The skeletons of a woman and a man were found in the house - the former was discovered clutching a bag of coins and jewelry.

They had barricaded themselves into a small room but were killed as a tsunami of superheated volcanic gas and ash - known as a pyroclastic flow - ripped through the town." from the video introduction
