This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold. (lemmy.today)

They should refurbish them.

Why not? Just because they haven't been yet? Historical significance? Blah, blah blah. I'm sure the people who made them would want it. And I bet it would increase tourism. We take this shit way too seriously.

    Similarly, I would like to see the Coliseum rebuilt and used as a football stadium.

    It would have to be remodeled as well, the floor isn't quite big enough for a U.S. football field, let alone a European football field.

    Think I saw it was 83 meters long

    Perhaps not a football stadium then, but... do you like gladiators?

    I think a politician already meantioned bringing them back to force immigrants to fight to the death. So uh, think I'm going to play it safe and say no until the details are more flushed out

    I'm for it, but I think it would be very expensive to get it up to code.

    The Pyramids are just piles of rocks, with no modern purpose.

    Really, we should use these things for their intended purpose, if possible. And, keep them in good condition. We do it with other historic buildings.
