Couple of them are mildly clickbaity. The headline for the one for the villa makes it sound like it was a new find when it was actually dug 150 years ago. I recently watched a really good special on the carbonized scrolls they found there. Only took them 140 years to figure out how to unroll and read them. Once they got them open they were pretty much all mundane bureaucratic things. They gave insight into some day to day transactions and how little things have actually changed though.

The "glass brain" one is also deceiving since they show a big chunk of actual molten glass as an example but when you read through it what they found was almost microscopic and not what the picture shows.
