We know that Pompeii was the site of one of
the most memorable losses of life in the ancient world. But was it merely a
natural disaster without cause? Could a literal writing on the wall shed light
on what this doomed culture was like before it was buried alive? Is it possible
that their own actions brought on the consequence of judgment just like the biblical
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?
