History
Builder Vespasian, Titus
Founded AD 70–80; 1942 years ago
The Colosseum  Italian: Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]) is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world today, despite its age. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian (r. 69–79 AD) in 72 and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir, Titus (r. 79–81). Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (r. 81–96). The three emperors that were patrons of the work are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aɱfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo]) by later classicists and archaeologists for its association with their family name (Flavius).]]> 2022-02-12 10:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/HEK_/skmn6b4f6qlzmy4v/wish/2043604103 HEK_ https://padlet.com/HEK_/skmn6b4f6qlzmy4v/wish/2043608135
Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, Mexico.


Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.

Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida fashioned the face. Constructed between 1922 and 1931, the statue is 30 metres (98 ft) high, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal. The arms stretch 28 metres (92 ft) wide. It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone.]]> 2022-02-12 10:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/HEK_/skmn6b4f6qlzmy4v/wish/2043610065 HEK_ https://padlet.com/HEK_/skmn6b4f6qlzmy4v/wish/2043611854 Between 400 BC and 106 AD, it was the capital of the Nabataeans. It continued to exist as the capital until it was occupied by the Roman Empire. After the 400s, the city fell out of favor due to earthquakes and economic problems and was forgotten over time. The purpose of Petra's construction could not be found by historians. However, in the latest researches, it has been determined as a result of the researches that there is a secretly buried section under the El-Hazne in Petra and that this section is the tombs of the kings.

Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
