Secrets of the Colosseum (Full Episode) | Lost Treasures of Rome | National Geographic

[@tral403Hrytw]

Spend time again in Rome last summer, and this time, my third time, I walked everywhere, from the Aurelian wall, the Piazza del Popolo, all the way to the Collusium, and you get a sense of how the ROman felt the sense of Rome and its situatedness. Hope to spend 2 months again in ROme this summer.

[@Actress_Monica_Biel]

Absolutely loved this episode! The way they uncovered the secrets of the Colosseum is just mind-blowing. It’s fascinating to think about how much history lies beneath those ancient stones. Can't wait to see what other treasures they find in Rome!

Nat Geo this was one of your best episodes ever! Now we need more information as to why + how they were filled in? Thanks so much!

[@joevenuti1201]

I don't understand why you are trying to make it look like Valerie's "investigation" is discovering anything we didn't already know. She is just pointing out things that have been known for many decades... or centuries. Like the buildings erected on the site of the Theatre of Pompey... like the ramps used to raise animals into the arena. Learned that in the 70's in high school.

[@PRIMETATTOOS]

They need updated documentaries in order to engage and teach more people. Imagine if they played the ones you learned from; it would be boring to the newer generations.

[@debbylou5729]

@@PRIMETATTOOSthese aren’t ‘updated’. They haven’t found anything new, it’s just another amphitheater. The short answer is ‘publish or perish’. The main reason academia is such a pit

[@CharlesTheInnocent-s9s]

Amphitheatres were very popular in the Roman Empire because the ordinary folks needed spectacles and distractions. Bread was not sufficient for the hoi polloi, they wanted performances and combats to the death in the arenas. The popular refrain amongst the gladiators was: "Hail Caesar, those who are about to die salute you".

Great great episode

41:25 that italian archeologist's English is quite perfect 💯 You really didn't need to put subtitles

[@tm75_88]

I grew up in Rome .... Until my generation, people could quite easily climb over the fences and entering the Colyseum at night. You could find many people inside every night .... People smoking on the upper stands, people playing guitar, people just hanging around, and people like my friends and I who played hide-and-seek in the underground tunnels, where gladiators used to wait before going to the stage. Where this researcher was at the beginning of the video. Unforgettable experience, even if, for us romans, it seemed almost a normal thing to do As late as globalization took over, that means until 90s, Rome, despite being a 3-4 milion-person city, kept an atmosphere almost as a village. You used to feel totally safe, people care about each other, and also police controls weren't strict. A social agreement that went destroyed with the globalization. Don't dare anymore to enter the Colyseum at night .... you would get arrested. But it's not only that what Rome lost with the globalization....😌

Poor animals. Such a brutal culture. I bet the Coliseum is haunted by all the poor innocent animals slaughtered there. It's not a place where I would visit.

Why they didn't place that rare spherical vase in a secure, sided open container on the table is beyond me (8:30). It would have been very easy for one of the archaeologists to accidentally tip it and cause it to roll to the ground and shatter. Probably DEI hires. 🤨

[@Jerry-b7f]

Think of the amount of money spent on the stadium and gladiators etc... instead of helping the starving, disabled or those down on their luck, they spend the money on their entertainment. Do you notice how little has actually changed? It's still a society of the haves and have nots. There has been an effort to always have this division. Without it everyone would have an equal say. Yes that's democracy and no we don't have it.

Mentioned at 16:08 that in first century B.C.E, Julius Caesar super-sized the event of Gladiator fights. But when you search in google about Julius Caesar, they mention that he was assassinated by noblemen in 44 B.C.E. So, which information is correct??

@@himanshubhansali7686 the first century BCE goes from year 100 bce to 1 bce (there is no year 0). So 44 BCE is just about past the half way past towards the Common Era.

The brutality of the Roman Empire is the epitome of evil amongst men. I find this period of human history seriously disturbing and sickening.🤢

[@danferesp]

Looked with today’s eyes, it sounds true, but you must place the positive contribution for a balanced view of how it really was.

[@LovingTheBrauns]

@danferesp There is no excuse for the level of brutality accepted in this time period. It should serve as an example of how NOT to be. I know where you're coming from, but under NO conditions were this society's culture acceptable. Thank goodness we evolved away from it.

[@thomasriggle6371]

​@LovingTheBrauns We didn't "evolve" away from anything. The world is equally brutal today. The only difference is that nowadays it's out of sight.

[@LovingTheBrauns]

@thomasriggle6371 It doesn't sound like you're very familiar with the cultural brutality of the Roman Empire. While I agree there are some people who are just as evil and heinously brutal, we don't tie people to posts to be mauled by wild animals. Nor do we put people in the position to fight to the death for entertainment purposes. In that way, we have evolved away from that level of publicly held spectacles of brutality.

[@RobynWarbling]

All countries were very brutal, but astonishing how advanced the Romans were for that period. I respect very much the architecture It still puzzles archeologists etc today.
