    Default Pompeii - 50 Years Ago

    My mom has a friend in New Zealand who's mother, who lives in the UK, went to Pompeii 50 years ago.

    So anyway, I give you these, pictures of Pompeii excavation sites from 50 years ago:

    I used ImageShack but same thing.

    Still not working for me. Are you using the image code [img] and inserting the direct link to the image? (ending in .jpg, .gif, .png, etc...)

    Can I have a moderator delete this?

    I'll get pictures up later.

    Why is it so hard to get pictures on this forum? x.x

    I'll ask the woman I got them from, if I had to guess I'd say they where taken in the 60's.
