Ancient theater cut out of the red rock of Petra, Jordan. Said to be able to seat 8,500. Imagine a performance there in it's heyday

  3. Nice. Knowing that this empty theater represents a better performance than the last Superbowl halftime show is priceless.

  4. Performances were likely people hacking each other to death with various sharp implements.

    1. Nope. Plays and concerts.
      You don't need acoustics for slaughterfests.

      Coliseums were for gladiatorial contests.
