I think we've probably posted this link before, but this is the page for the "Vesuvius Challenge" mentioned in the video.
It's also interesting that starting around 22 minutes in the video Dr Seales says that a part of his interest is his desire to uncover early Christian material since he is a Christian himself. I wonder if he's read "St Paul and Epicurus."
