Pompeii is known for its disastrous end with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but for archeologists, what came before is just as interesting. Researchers are using artifacts left behind in the remarkably well-preserved Roman city to piece together what life was like for the thousands of people who lived there 2,000 years ago.  A new book and television show analyze some of these clues to tell the stories of the ordinary people who faced this extraordinary event.

Imagine living through the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried Pompeii in ash – way scarier than any horror movie! The Great Flood from ancient myths, like Noah's Ark, would have been a terrifying sight with water everywhere. The Bronze Age collapse around 1200 BC saw entire civilizations fall apart, causing chaos and fear. The volcanic eruption in Santorini around 1600 BC devastated the Minoan civilization and sent shockwaves through the region. And let's not forget about the tsunami that hit the Minoan civilization around the same time, wiping out entire cities in a flash. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What would happen if Vesuvius Volcano erupted today? It's erupted many times in the past. In fact, that's how it got its shape. It's made of multiple layers of hardened lava, pumice, and ash. Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. But a major blast happened there nearly 2,000 years ago. It buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum and decimated the surrounding areas. The tragic eruption have left a deep mark in modern history. Mount Vesuvius is regarded as one of the deadliest volcanos in the human history. But today, 3 million people live less than 20 milesfrom the volcano, and 600,000 live in the danger zone. Large eruptions happen every few thousand years, usually after long periods of calm. And the trouble is, Vesuvius is long overdue for its next one... #brightside Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Season 20 Episode 65Walking Without Sight #RTTBROS #Nightlight #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianWisdom"For we walk by faith, not by sight." — 2 Corinthians 5:7There is a man most people have never heard of, and I think that is a shame, because his story deserves to be told. His name was James Holman, and he was born in Exeter, England in 1786 with perfect eyesight and a restless, adventurous heart. He joined the Royal Navy at twelve years old, and by twenty-one he had worked his way up to lieutenant. Then, somewhere off the coast of America, a mysterious illness began to take hold. His legs swelled, his ankles became inflamed, and the pain became unbearable. He was sent home to England as an invalid. And if that was not enough, within weeks of arriving home, his eyesight began to fail, and he lost his sight completely. Now, in early nineteenth century England, that was considered the end of the road. Blind people were expected to beg on the street with a rag tied around their eyes so they would not upset passersby. The world had essentially written James Holman off. But Holman refused to read that chapter. He put on his naval uniform, refused to wear a blindfold, picked up a metal-tipped walking cane, and walked out the door. Literally. He taught himself to navigate by echolocation, listening to the tap of his cane bouncing off walls and curbs and strangers passing by. And then he just kept going.He crossed France. He climbed Mount Vesuvius. He traveled through Siberia, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. By the time it was all said and done, Holman had traveled more than 250,000 miles, visiting every inhabited continent. By his death in 1857, the total distance he had covered was equal to traveling to the moon. He did all of it blind, in constant pain, with little money, and no one to lead him. He became, by any honest measure, the most widely traveled explorer in human history.I am too soon old and too late smart on this one, but I keep coming back to the same thought when I sit with this story. We spend so much energy waiting until we can see clearly before we take the next step. We want the whole picture before we move. We want guarantees. We want the path lit up from beginning to end. But God rarely works that way. He gives us enough light for the next step, and He asks us to trust Him with the rest.The Apostle Paul did not write "we walk by sight, and occasionally by faith when necessary." He said, "For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). That is not a suggestion. That is a description of what the Christian life actually looks like from the inside.James Holman could not see a single step of his journey, and yet he moved forward anyway. How much more can we, who have the Holy Spirit as our guide and the Word of God as a lamp unto our feet, trust the One who holds the whole road in His hands?Whatever you are facing tonight that feels dark and uncertain, take the next step. He knows the way even when you cannot see it.Let's pray: Father, forgive us for standing still because we cannot see the whole path. Give us the courage to walk by faith and not by sight, trusting that You have gone before us and You will not leave us.

The destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD is famous for being caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but it wasn't just the volcano itself that wiped out the city. What really did the most damage were the intense clouds of hot gas and ash, called pyroclastic flows, that swept through the city. These flows moved incredibly fast, destroying everything in their path and suffocating people instantly. Many of Pompeii's residents had already evacuated when the eruption began, but others stayed behind and didn't survive. Buildings were buried under tons of ash, which preserved the city for centuries. Today, Pompeii is a snapshot of Roman life frozen in time, but it's a reminder of the deadly power of nature.

If you think Mount Vesuvius is scary, wait until you hear about Campi Flegrei! This supervolcano has 24 underground craters and makes Vesuvius look small in comparison. The crazy part? Half a million people live right in the danger zone today! Even though it hasn't erupted in 500 years, scientists have noticed it's getting more active lately. With over 1,000 small tremors happening each month, people are starting to pay attention. If Campi Flegrei blows, it could be a major disaster! Learn more about your ad choices.

Pompeii's story is usually told through the lens of catastrophe—perfectly preserved bodies frozen in ash, a civilization erased in hours, sort of like a Roman version of the Chicxulub impactor that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago —but the real tragedy isn't just that Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Worse is that we've forgotten the thousands of ordinary people who lived full, ambitious lives before that final day. These stories include a slave named Petrinus hoped to buy his freedom with earnings from side work, fish sauce merchant Aulus Umbricius Scaurus (who shipped garum bottles as far as Gaul while planning his next business expansion), and wealthy entrepreneur Julia Felix prepared her rental apartments to host the mysterious Cult of Isis. The mortality rate was only 9-11 percent because residents had eighteen hours to evacuate before superheated ash clouds arrived—this wasn't the extinction of the dinosaurs, yet we've reduced these vibrant lives to silent ruins and plaster casts. Today's guest is Jess Venner, author of The Lost Voices of Pompeii: A Gripping History of Seven Lives on the Last Day in Pompeii. We discuss how she reconstructed the life of slave Petrinus from a single loan contract listing him as collateral between two women, the condiment tycoon Scaurus sold his famous fermented fish sauce throughout the Roman Empire, and how politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa's campaign advertisements still cover the city walls two millennia later. We also see why nearly 20% of Pompeii remains unexcavated and how new X-ray phase-contrast tomography is finally allowing researchers to virtually unroll carbonized Herculaneum papyri, potentially recovering lost Epicurean philosophy once thought destroyed forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recently, new AI-based techniques have begun to allow researchers to decipher ancient Greek texts from scrolls burned almost beyond recognition by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. I wanted to understand what this breakthrough actually means. In the broader picture of our knowledge of the ancient world, how important is this new technology? In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Professor Richard Janko, one of the world's leading scholars of ancient Greek literature, philosophy, and the transmission of texts. He begins by sketching the long arc of Greek history, before turning to his own work deciphering ancient papyri. Along the way, he explains which Greek texts have survived, what they can tell us about everyday life, religion, poetry, and philosophy, and why the newly emerging material matters. What unfolds is a story of the Greeks themselves-their ideas, their sense of the world, and what life was like more than two thousand years ago. ►Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/NDcxvxKtJHA

It's Cinco de Luncho time, and this list goes global. With the NFL expanding internationally, the guys draft their Top 5 dream international destinations to host a game, and the debate gets wild. From St. Andrews in Scotland to Athens, Greece, Jasper National Park in Canada, the pyramids of Giza, and even Pompeii with Mount Vesuvius in the background, every pick sparks strong reactions. Tiki shuts down the Athens hype in a hurry, Venice catches a stray, and Iceland somehow enters the chat. It's scenic backdrops, golf trips disguised as football weekends, and pure lunchtime chaos as the NFL goes worldwide.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 63rd New York Film Festival with Pompei: Below the Clouds director Gianfranco Rosi as he discusses his documentary with FLC programmer Dan Sullivan. An NYFF63 selection, Pompei: Below the Clouds opens at Film at Lincoln Center on March 6th with in-person filmmaker Q&As at select screenings opening weekend. Get tickets now at filmlinc.org/clouds The great Italian documentarian Gianfranco Rosi (Notturno, NYFF58) specializes in kaleidoscopic portraits of people living amid anxiety and uncertainty. Among his most striking and monumental works, his latest details with pointillist precision and unnerving beauty a region in Naples living under the shadow of Mount Vesuvius and above the simmering Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera, which has in recent years experienced increasingly frequent and alarming tremors. In this volatile environment, Rosi finds archeologists reckoning with both uncovered ancient artifacts and the wreckage of tomb raiders, squads of diggers descending into long abandoned tunnels, emergency centers already at breaking points, and a populace experiencing a generalized daily disquietude, fearful of an eruption like the one that buried Pompeii in 79 A.D. Linking modern and ancient life, Pompei: Below the Clouds alights on a specific region yet feels connected to everyone's contemporary moment—the contemplation of the unimaginable nestled within our daily existence. An NYFF63 Main Slate selection. A MUBI release. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

This powerful exploration of Revelation 3:7-13 takes us into the heart of the church at Philadelphia, one of only two churches Christ didn't rebuke. What makes this congregation truly heroic? They mastered three essential disciplines that we desperately need today: practicing God's Word faithfully, proclaiming His name unashamedly, and pursuing His will patiently. The message opens with a sobering illustration from ancient Pompeii, where residents ignored warning signs of Mount Vesuvius's eruption and were frozen in time by volcanic ash. Just as those Romans had warnings they didn't heed, we're seeing rumblings in our world today—warfare, earthquakes, moral breakdown—that signal Christ's imminent return. The Philadelphia believers lived with this urgency, keeping God's Word not just as hearers but as doers. They refused to deny Christ's name despite severe persecution from the synagogue of Satan. Most remarkably, they demonstrated patient endurance, holding fast to God's promises even when His timing seemed delayed. The application cuts deep: Are we ashamed of Jesus outside the church walls—at work, with family, among friends? Are we prepared for the increasing hostility toward Christianity that's already emerging in America? The call is clear: fortify our faith, endure patiently, and finish the race because Christ is coming soon with rewards for those who remain faithful.Ridgecrest exists to reach the lost, build the believer, and connect the people of God to the mission and purpose of God.

Grief has a soundtrack—and so does joy. We open with a heartfelt salute to Catherine O'Hara, tracing how a single scene, a laugh line, or a voice can linger long after the credits, then wander into the wild terrain where memory and music meet. From Beetlejuice's dinner table possession to Home Alone's enduring comfort, we reflect on how film and song become the waypoints we use to navigate time. That doorway leads us to a run of resonant passings and timeless cuts: Demond Wilson's place in Sanford and Son and the instant-transport power of Quincy Jones' Street Beater, the exuberant lift of Three Dog Night's Joy to the World, and a trip through New York's CBGB with Television's Fred Smith, Marquee Moon, and the creative stubbornness that forged a landmark record.We trace another kind of legacy through Lynn Blakey—muse behind Left of the Dial—and the thrill of literally finding a friend on college radio while touring dark highways. Her voice in Salt Collective's recent release becomes proof that “new” music thrives when veterans share a room, a pen, and superior instincts. Along the way we spotlight the Pretenders' crisp poetry, Dolly Parton's ever-true 9 to 5, and Siouxsie and the Banshees turning the ash of Pompeii into a dance-floor revelation. These are touchstones that explain why a Pink Floyd joke can still land and why Mount Vesuvius can power a chorus.Then the lens widens to the Blitzkrieg Bop at 50—a hook first shouted in downtown clubs that now rattles stadiums and commercial breaks—and ask how simple phrases become lifelong companions. It's a tour through what lasts, why it lasts, and how it keeps finding us—left of the dial and right in the heart.If this journey moved you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves great stories about music and film, and leave us a quick review with your favorite “timeless” track—we'll feature picks in a future mailbag.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

In January 1996, residents of the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha began reporting something unusual in the skies above their neighborhoods. Witnesses described a low-flying object—long, cylindrical, and trailing smoke—moving erratically over the city before disappearing from view. In the days that followed, the story took on a far stranger dimension, one that would transform a routine sighting into one of the most enduring and controversial UFO cases in modern history. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, following a recent press conference held in Washington, D.C., involving a UAP case with international significance, we examine the famous Brazilian "Varginha Incident" and the reports from local civilians at the time who claimed to have encountered a small, non-human creature.

Throughout history, scholars have sought ways to access the "lost knowledge" of the ancient world. In recent years, with the advent of artificial intelligence, major strides have been made toward decoding the mysteries kept within mysterious ancient texts like the famous "Voynich manuscript," which was composed centuries ago in a mysterious language that remains undeciphered. The challenges that such texts present to scholars also raise a question: would we be any more successful in decoding messages sent to Earth from space by intelligent aliens? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the efforts by scientists to unlock mysterious ancient texts, as well as the search for evidence of communication from intelligent extraterrestrials, and finally, how the intersection between archaeology and interstellar communication culminates in the debate about possible "Paleo-SETI" and the prospect that Earth may have been visited by extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times.

What is an archeologist's wet dream? Our guess would be two pre-christian Roman Empire cities preserved almost perfectly under pumice and ash. Something that could be excavated and studied for a lifetime. Each little detail laying out the historical record of what everyday life in a Roman port city/vacation town would look like. Thanks to Mount Vesuvius erupting in 79 CE, that wet dream is a reality. Lava was not involved in the eruption of Vesuvius. It spewed ash and pumice that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum. For those unfortunate souls who could not leave, the pyroclastic flows took them in an instant. Today we are going to talk about what happened on that day. The panic, the terror, the normality of the day Vesuvius erupted. Then we get to talk about what the excavation at the two sites has uncovered. Spoiler alert: this episode is a lot of fun.

‘Archaeology has this focus on material evidence so it's in a way more democratic, because texts are often written by the powerful and represent their idea of how things should be remembered'Michael Berkeley speaks to Gabriel Zuchtreigel, Director of Pompeii in Southern Italy, one of the world's most important archaeological sites.History, he says, comes alive through archaeology, helping us to appreciate our shared humanity with those who lived thousands of years ago, and providing a more democratic way of learning about the past. Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that erupted and buried Pompeii in ash and pumice, did not distinguish between the wealthy and the poor in its victims. Gabriel Zuchtriegel was appointed Director of Pompeii in 2021, and has since begun a major excavation, and made a number of significant finds. But it is walking around the site at night, emptied of the crowds, that he feels the ancient city come alive. It is as if, he says, the inhabitants only left a few minutes ago.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

2014's Pompeii is all over the place. Designed to be a Roman apocalypse story with a star making turn by Game of Thrones' Kit Harrington, Pompeii fizzled at the box office. But strangely, it's a phenomenal film to talk about the Roman empire and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Historian and archaeologist Dr. Steven Tuck joins in to talk everything this film gets right and wrong about Roman history. Easily one of our best episodes ever.About our guest:Steven L. Tuck is a professor of classics, who is currently head of classics at Miami University.

If you think Mount Vesuvius is scary, wait until you hear about Campi Flegrei! This supervolcano has 24 underground craters and makes Vesuvius look small in comparison. The crazy part? Half a million people live right in the danger zone today! Even though it hasn't erupted in 500 years, scientists have noticed it's getting more active lately. With over 1,000 small tremors happening each month, people are starting to pay attention. If Campi Flegrei blows, it could be a major disaster! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Kremlin has said planning is underway for a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump next week, but denied the Russian leader has agreed to a subsequent meeting with the US president and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration's long-threatened tariffs on around ninety countries have taken effect on imports from dozens of countries, raising the effective US rate to its highest level in nearly a century. Relatives of hostages held in Gaza have set sail towards the territory in a flotilla of eleven boats adorned with flags and protest posters, calling on the Israeli government to stop the war, amid discussion of plans to escalate the military conflict in Gaza. German police have arrested three men suspected of being members of the outlawed Reichsbeurger group and of planning high treason. The families of those killed in the Air India crash in Ahmedabad two months ago, say it's like 'losing him twice' after receiving parts of a stranger's body, instead of their relative. The dangers of unregulated cosmetic procedures like botox and what the UK government is doing about it. Why a new investigation into Pompeii has shed new light on what happened after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and why one 90's superhero has joined in with the Trump recruitment drive for ICE agents to ramp up immigration raids and detentions across the United States.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.

October 24th, 79. Pompeii is one of the crown jewels of the Roman Empire, a bustling city that serves as a coastal retreat for Rome's elite. But Pompeii also has a large, often overlooked middle-class population. They don't live in Pompeii's massive villas. Instead, they live a typical urban life – shopping at small businesses and haggling with street vendors. They even go to restaurants. And one of these restaurants—still being excavated by archeologists today—may unlock a whole new side to the story of this doomed city. So, before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, how did everyday people live in Pompeii? And how can just one city block show us that life 2,000 years ago might not be so different from today? Special thanks to our guest, Allison Emmerson, associate professor of Roman Archeology at Tulane University and director of the Pompeii I.14 Project.

Today we follow a sleuth who has spent over a decade working to solve an epic mystery hiding in plain historical sight: did anyone survive the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD? Tired of hearing the conventional narrative that every Pompeiian perished without any evidence to back it up, Classicist Steven Tuck decides to look into it himself. Although he is nearly two millennia late to ground zero, he uses all the available evidence to reimagine the disaster from the perspective of the people on the ground. Could anyone have survived the volcano? If they did, could they have survived what came after that: earthquakes, tsunamis, pumice stones hurtling like missiles from the sky? If someone did survive, what happened to them after that??! To find out we have to think, feel and possibly even eat like Ancient Romans. An against-all-odds story of a disaster without warning, a mass disappearance without a trace, and oddly, a particularly stinky fish sauce, care of special guest Chef Samin Nosrat. We have some exciting news!
