(The Egyptians invented the pulley, incidentally.)
Feels very racist. They assume Romans were better at everything than all other civilizations of that time period.

The pyramids were built over two thousand years before the coliseum. Saying they are of the same time period is like claiming the Eiffel tower and the coliseum are of the same period too!
That's the crux of white superiority racism in the west. Romans are elevated to a near mythical level of advancement by people who can't do trig. That "advanced civilization" idea is then applied to human rights problems like slavery and libertarian ideas like Crassus' fire fighters. Racists are also notorious for not thinking shit through and that short term planning problem is why they never actually succeed, they just fuck up shit for others and then die.
The Colosseum was just a stadium. A pretty one, but really just a big building among other big buildings. The great pyramids were the effort of a whole nation. They're the Delta Works, the ISS, the Panama canal, the Three Gorges dam. The Colosseum the equivalent of Michigan stadium...
You commented some really cool things, and then mentioned the 34th biggest sports venue (3rd largest stadium).what's significant about Michigan stadium?
