Native American - Hagia Sophia

The Native Americans are some of the earliest storytellers and entertainers, but in their time they only had access to drums and dancing as means of making music and permforming. They lived in small houses made of twigs and branches, reeds, and bark. If we move ahead to the Greeks, they had the Amphitheatre to perform in. I find it fascinating that they were able to design a structure back then that could amplify the sounds from the center of the theater and project it all the way to the back rows of seating. Next to discuss is the Roman Circus Maximus. This was a giant chariot track that was located in a valley. I remember when I was in Rome and saw the remains I was surprised at how big the structure could be back then. The sheer capacity for audiences was impressive back then. After the circus there was the Colosseum, a large arena where the citizens would watch gladiators fight. They were assinged seating based on their class in society, and it impressive to me that they were able to seat all 50,000 spectators. Finally, we discussed the Hagia Sophia, a massive cathedral that was extremely innovative in its architechture. It is still, to this day, the largest cathedral ever.
