Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “A slice of history: Pompeii fresco shows ‘ancestor’ of pizza” – below is their description.
Archaeologists working at the ancient Roman city of Pompeii have uncovered a fresco of something that looks similar to a pizza.
The city was buried by volcanic ash after an eruption nearly 2,000 years ago, and some of its secrets are still being discovered.
The image might not be of the modern version of the global favourite, but could be a “distant ancestor” of the food.
Al Jazeera’s Michael Appel has more.
