    Fun facts from back in the day:

    - It was designed to fill in 15 mins, and evacuate in 5 mins
    - The construction was completed in 10 years
    - Plebians were shaded from the hot sun, while nobility had to bake
    - Romans were incredibly innovative... and brutal. It's estimated that over 400,000 people and 1,000,000 animals died in the colosseum! It is considered one of the most haunted places on earth 👻
