The value of ancient buildings is in what we learn from whatever survives. How can we rebuild the Coliseum to its original state without first learning what that state was? The Coliseum was operational for centuries and underwent constant modification. Which period should it be restored to, and to what end?
"Which period should it be restored to, and to what end?"
Rome at peak power around year 100. And why? To finally see the gladiators Zuckerberg vs Musk celebrity deathmatch obviously.
I suspect it would end like the gladiator match in 'The Life of Brian', with Musk having a heart attack before he could even get in striking range.

NGL, would love to see techbros battle to the death for our entertainment.
Hey, if we're already near the fall of the empire, we might as well get some bread and games out of it.
Though Suck and Bezos would easily kill Musk since Zuck is a martial arts expert and Bezos is roided out of his mind, while Musk is kinda doughy like a human slug monster.
I really hate the “end of the empire” or “late stage capitalism” attitudes. They’re ignorant and self-fulfilling.
If you really believe it then please go out in the world and engage people in a positive way. Go do some volunteering. Not to make a change in the world but in yourself.
If you don’t believe this and are just repeating a meme for clout or whatever then just stop. It’s toxic and unfunny. Like “locker room talk” or whatever other lame justifications are offered for people to say gross things nobody needs to hear.
