A mysterious hand writes a message on the palace wall during a drunken party — and it spells the end of the Babylonian Empire.
King Belshazzar throws a massive feast and drinks from the sacred vessels looted from Jerusalem's temple. A disembodied hand appears and writes four words on the wall. No one can read them except Daniel, who delivers the grim translation: God has numbered Belshazzar's days, weighed him and found him lacking, and his kingdom is being handed to the Medes and Persians. That very night, Belshazzar is killed.
