Hi Tim. A bit of feedback. A great video of this landmark piece of history.
I don't know how I'd feel visiting it in person knowing it's creepy history. The Golden House was torn down and this was built on top of it's ruins by Vespasian and Titus. The North African Lion, North African Elephant, became practically extinct in Roman times. Tigers, Leopards, Rhinos, Giraffes, etc etc, all met a cruel sadistic end for public entertainment. One million at least. 100k humans.....yeah that as well. It's a shame something beautiful didn't survive from those times, but this did.

I was lucky enough to be able to take a trip to visit the Colosseum in 1991 while stationed in Germany. I don't have any particular memories of how I felt about its history at the time. Since then I have thought about all the violence and death that happened there and it's sad and hard to comprehend. I'm sure I'd have stronger feelings if I visited it again. -Tim

^ Please don't feel bad. The Coloseum Walkthrough stirred up a lot of repressed memories and suppressed emotions for me. We can't change history and a lot of bad stuff still goes on.
Rest assured you post some amazing stuff and I'll be definitely nominating you for best of subsim at years end.

Well done Catfish, I would say it was one of your finer moments.
