What are the similarities and differences between "graffiti of ruins" and "posting of SNS"?

It was buried by the large eruption of Vesuvius volcano in AD 79PompeiiIt was excavated for the first time in the mid 18th century. Many mural paintings were discovered from the excavated ruins, and a lot of mural painting depicting the fellowship of men and women were excavated in particularHall of a whoreAnd others were famous, and the murals were valuable discoveries that you can see the people's lives in Pompei at that time precious discoveries, but as valuable as it is scribbles written on the wall of Pompeii as precious as that. From the content of graffiti, you can see that the walls of Pompeii played a role like SNS in modern times.

The oldest graffiti found was the message "Gaius was here" written on October 3, 1978, indicating that there was a person in that place. There are also public announcements of public events such as graffiti that the citizens considered exchanged such as love messages, bad things of others, words of condolence, business exchange, publicity of politics and gladiator's conventions. I have found it.


Dr. Rebecca Benefiel, a classical scholar at the University of Washington and Lee, said: "Prairie's graffiti is the live voice of the people who once lived in Pompeii and it is like blowing life back into the city, so Pompeii Graffiti is particularly precious and interesting, "he says of the importance of graffiti.

"Apaflas is bald" and "Croydon is a clown bastard" are smuggled even with one bad mood, but the action of writing someone's own experiences and thoughts on the wall and replying by someone, There is a point very similar to a person posting a message to SNS such as Facebook wall or Twitter. Although Dr. Benefield certainly has something in common with Pompei's graffiti and modern SNS that "anyone can write thoughts and events in places to see", "Pompei graffiti is more nice than Internet graffiti I am talking about it.


The Atlantic speculates that Dr. Benefiel had a good impression on Pompei's graffiti than SNS, for reasonable reasons. Writing to SNS is not only a message that "I want others to see it" but also a message that "Claudius was here" as well as a message "I met Claudius at Pompei's square today" It is natural for SNS to decorate sentences as much as they were! This is why Dr. Benefiel had different impressions from ancient and contemporary graffiti.

Pompei's graffiti records the thoughts of people living in limited time and space and should be preserved for many years just like books, but all scribbles in Pompeii will be on the internet It is not saved as a digital archive. Continuing to digitize Pompei's graffiti is Dr. Benefiel who came out earlier, digitizing tremendously large scribbles and proceeding with the project so that anyone in the world can see it.
