They had a “half off” fire sale. That’s what happened to it.😆

Before I even got to the snake part I had to get up and check 😅 Glad I’m setting where I’m at rather than any of those places. 😮‍💨🚽🧻🚪

If only Wilson and 1913 didn’t happen

CLICK BAIT

So they'd rather wear their dresses and they're supposed to be so masculine great warriors and they wear dresses

Well regarding ancient constructions you have many solutions. 1.- Restauration means you preserve for the future generations a testimony of a certain period. 2.- Reconstruction means you have enough material to rebuilt as it originally was a completely or partially destroyed construction, this was the case for Monte Cassino, centers of old German cities after WWII, cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, etc, etc, trc 3.- Construction of building in the ancient manner over ancient foundations, mostly with old stones found in situ with no insurance the result will be conform to reality because of the lack of documentation. Many of these recreation of old construction were made in former Warsaw pact countries for political reasons and others only due the imagination of the discoverer. One of best example is in Crete the " reconstruction " by Evans of king Minos palace with a total lack of documents with no evidence reconstruction is truthful... In a few words Disneyland ... Sadly, still today these kind of recreation exist

Why do we call it Roman/Greek architecture when it was clearly first inspired by the Egyptians/Nubians?

I visited New York in the early 1980s when it seemed to still retain something of its earlier style , at least as I strolled amongst it. I would have loved to have experienced the ferry ride around it to see its skyline in 1945 or even 1950. Most of what has grown up all over Manhattan seems boxy and the same as everywhere else now.The city of London ,meaning the district around the St Pauls Cathedral has been tragically built all over by weird shaped buildings which drown the famous cathedral which survived the Blitz, when they could have added interest to the modern new Financial Quarter at Docklands further along the river.

Thanks as always.. best nugget.

Thank goodness it survived. If you are lucky enough to visit Rome when you approach by vehicle or on foot it is jaw dropping. Imagine a structure like this built 2000 years ago. It was truly magnificent when it was constructed. The architects, builders and engineers behind it were way ahead of their time. The gladiators and sacrifices were barbaric but to the populace the Coliseum was awe inspiring.

I'm always reminder of the empress Livia (not sure about the name) in BBC's "I, Claudius" giving the gladiators warnings about the tricks they might do to look wounded. One was not to use pig bladders filled with blood. Do the real thing!

Now that the recipe for ancient Roman concrete had been discovered, I suspect that an accurate replica would cost significantly more than one made with modern concrete.

What a jerk. He wants to impose restrictions on others and not allow them to repair buildings so that he can enjoy his romantic dream of seeing ruins.

I’m convinced Rome rules America

Excellent presentation, thanks

It's kinda funny how they could put steam to practical use but decided to invent "earthquake machine" instead

🏛

Just got back from Rome and can't get enough of the history!

I'm so Fascinated of the past architectures.

CATHOLIC SAINTS died in the #RomanColosseum

O k two thighs. Killius? Come on, really? Killius the serial killer?😅 also, some guy is going to cut off both legs of a victim and THEN wait for him to bleed to death? Think that through. Wierd source info you have found.

Congrats on half a mil subs

Yeah fuck that digital shit. Nothing could ever replace seeing the artifact (or replica) in person.

old world buildings, not built by us, we found them when they were here, gave the old builders a false name, burned them to the ground and rebuilt them under the names of freemasons, this isn't the first time this has happened either

Disneyland! Euro style!

Looting archaeological sites is bad. Hawking looted coinage is deplorable. You’re a Roman scholar and should stand against looting archaeological sites. Shame!

Most buildings are rebuilt with the materials from that time period but certainly not fake ! Suddam Hussein rebuilt some of ancient sites and the blocks used had his signature .

No material monument can last forever. Every thing needs mending - books, buildings, socks, even lives. People themselves go to dentist's and submit to surgery interventions and still not recover in full strength and regain no younger looks they used to have before.
