Thursday Writing: The Colosseum Part 1

There will be a part 2 if there will be one because I wrote 5 pages so stay tuned for part 2 of the Colosseum.

2000 years ago, a grand and glorious building from the seven ancient wonders of the world is the Colosseum! It's 620 feet or 189 metres long, 512 feet or 156 metres wide, and 158 or 50 metres tall. It is the largest amphitheater in the world and started contruction in 72 AD. It seats 50,000 people and it was once home to battles or 1v1 matches! Contruction was done in 80 AD as the Flavian Amphitheater until it was changed to the Colosseum, it's also a icon of Rome. It is time to take a trip to the Colosseum!

First you start at the outside, there is 80 gates to enter, but 76 are public gates. This allows all 50,000 people to exit the Colosseum in under 10 minutes! Next are the Vomitoria witch is next to the gates and connects the entrances witch are The Gate Of Life - East Entrance. The South Entrance ( Witch is now retricted access only.) is the entrance for Emperors. On the left is gate 76 and the one on the right is gate 1. Going though the South Entrance is the arena floor. It was 287 feet or 87 metres long, 180 feet or 54 metres wide and covered with 15 cm or 5 inches of sand. This is because the word sand in Latin is arena. Now we go down, not up, 

because next is the underground ( Witch has retricted access too.) At the underground area are: The Hypogeum witch is a 2 level subterranean network of tunnels, shafts and 32 animal pens. Though the tunnels are a recontruction of a lift and trap-door system. With the total of 36 trap doors.

Then it's the Level 2 area witch is a spectators view but it still has stairs to Level 3,

Anyways were going to Level 3. ( Witch again, it has retricted access.) Level 3 seating was for the poor, slaves and woman. A retractable awning, called the Velarium, covered 1/3 of the inside of the arena and protected spectators from the sun.

Wednesday Writing: Be Rich With No Friends or Have Little Money With Lots Of Friends

 "I chose aahh, I rather be rich without friends because..." Yeah I chose that because... 

Reason 1: Like reason 2 on the wish rather I said that I will be fine without wishes, well that's the same for friends too. 

Reason 2: Be rich and how for me you ask? Well in that case I said in the wishes one again, I was talking about money so that's how I was "rich". 

Reason 3: My friends could be mean to me anyway.

 In New Zealand there is a concrete structure towering over Auckland and that is.....the Sky Tower! It's 328 metres tall with 360 degrees views and has thick glass it's also iconic to the structure. The tower is a tourist attraction, it was built in 1995-1997 making 20 years in 2017. In the inside starting at the top: The upper observation deck which is the highest floor then 4 levels of communications equipment and lifts, next the sugar club restaurant and the SkyWalk. One floor down the Orbit revolving restaurant. The floor beneath it is the main observation deck and under it is the lower observation deck. The next two floors are fire refuge decks and under are the lifts.

Friday Writing: The Great Pyramids Of Giza - Description

The Great Pyramids Of Giza is home to the last wonder of the ancient world and tombs of Pharaohs witch is very importaint! The desin started when a archetecher built a "step pyramid" and the Pharaoh liked the idea so he planed to make a flat Pyramid. "I think we should make it out of giant bricks of mud!" said the Pharaoh. Then the ancient Egyptian civilisation agreed to make the Pyramid out of giant bricks of mud. 20 years later The Great Pyramids Of Giza is done! It is 150 m tall, 800 km or 400 miles long. Also, it was built near Cairo and during the building workers died. Now some days, it's over 5000 years old and a famous tourist attraction. During the timeline, people have been stealing treasure BUT this will be a icon of Egypt for a long time.
