This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold.

    Similarly, I would like to see the Coliseum rebuilt and used as a football stadium.

      It would have to be remodeled as well, the floor isn’t quite big enough for a U.S. football field, let alone a European football field.

      Think I saw it was 83 meters long

        Perhaps not a football stadium then, but… do you like gladiators?

          I think a politician already meantioned bringing them back to force immigrants to fight to the death. So uh, think I’m going to play it safe and say no until the details are more flushed out

            That’s interesting bc I was going to reply to a different comment that we should put corrupt officials and billionaires in there.

              That may be a little small for a lot of the viewers, but then again people go to boxing matches.

        The one in Verona is used for concerts. So that works.

      I’m for it, but I think it would be very expensive to get it up to code.

      The Pyramids are just piles of rocks, with no modern purpose.

      Really, we should use these things for their intended purpose, if possible. And, keep them in good condition. We do it with other historic buildings.
