Sell 40% of the original bricks to fund the cost and incorporate 60% of the original bricks in the new construction

Here in Milan we have a saying when talking about something that took a long time: we say "Lungo come la fabbrica del duomo" which means "as long as the construction of the duomo"

They would have to use the formula for the Roman Concrete we now know. Which if they did a 1 billion dollar stadium really wouldn't be to horrible given the fact that stadium could land the next 2000 years. If taken care of it would like the real Coliseum well outlast anything current stadiums costs and last like 20-40 years. If you look at old Detroit stadiums not one still stands from 100 years ago. You can imagine if you could make such a Coliseum work in the modern day. It easily would last, but the issue at that point of no longer using it. You can't just easily knock it down like modern stadiums.

Isn't fascinating how it took over 1,500 years for the modern world to rediscover the secrets of Roman concrete. That volcanic ash/pumice thing. Amazing.

Most people have agreed there was a fire. Personally, I've always had another theory after I learned of this crime. I think the most valuable selections were hidden away. Displaced. Stolen as it were. What actually burned was the stacks and stacks of blank scrolls. Perhaps one nation conspired to make themselves indispensable. We all know, with that encyclopedia under their belts, knowledge was power. .

To add to the counter examples at the start of the video… Salisbury Cathedral in the UK was built over a relatively short period, some 38 years between 1220 and 1258. It has a coherence of design that is unusual in medieval English cathedrals. Salisbury is a wonderful place to visit, for the town, cathedral and Stonehenge. A nice day trip out of London even.

I'm curious to know and hopefully someone can give me an answer on this, for Cathedrals and temples that took hundreds of years to complete were they used for services during this time? Were they used once a certain section was complete and once complete, particularly for cathedrals, were there any great celebrations? I can imagine the completion of a two-hundred year plus project would be a moment of great joy.

At least they actually are working on it, as opposed to that Crazy Horse monument that looks exactly the same as it did 50 years ago. But, they still need lotsa money to complete it.

Liverpool UK cathedral took a 74 years and was finished in 1978. I was 16 at the time and can remember some of the building process. It was interesting to visit whilst construction was on going. Thanks for a very interesting video.

If you just go unskilled labour to unskilled labour (theoretical and in america) then the cost would be ~1.5 billion (100000000/4 = x/(7.25(hours in day))
