The remains of what might have been the residence of the Etruscan prince Sextus Tarquinius, son of the last legendary king of Rome Tarquinius Superbus (Tarquin the Proud), have been found on the slopes of an extinct volcanic crater about 12 miles from Rome, Italian archaeologists have announced.

All this from some walls.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Who knows, maybe it was the "richly decorated monumental roof" of a granary. Or of a brothel, like Vegas' Mustang Ranch...

The Mustang Ranch is not in “Vegas.”

Prostitution is legal in Nevada, except in Clark County.
Las Vegas is in Clark County.
(Talk about a joke!)

The Mustang Ranch is up north.
