History

Not really a response.

The huge external stones of the Colosseum were fastened together using metal clips rather than cement during construction. The clips were removed from the stone works by "recyclers" when the building went out of use. The exterior is pock pitted with holes as a result.

As a result, gravity is the only factor holding these external walls together.

The Colosseum was also constructed in the first century. It had the most seats available of any sports venue in the world up to the 19th century.

The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Theatre (for the imperial dynasty that oversaw its design and construction), was the greatest structure of its type and entertained many people as a diversion from their daily chores. It was also a clever stroke of imperial propaganda because it was constructed on the site of the Domus Aureus, the unpopular emperor Nero's imperial residence. They filled the pond that had previously been in the garden and the tiny stream that had been diverted to fill this pond in order to construct it. This would later be the reason why one side of the Colosseum collapsed in an earthquake as the soil there was far more loose than under the other part and thus suffered from liquification making the whole underground unstable.

The conquistadors were What causes the sickness among the slaves that Equiano describes in this passage?
VashaNatasha [74]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What caused the sickness among the slaves that Equiano describes in this passage is that these slaves traveled in inhuman conditions because they were put in overcrowded spaces with no air or ventilation at all. This caused most of them to get sick and diseases spread easily.

Equiano’s account is evidence of the poor conditions under which enslaved people were transported and then sold.

This reflects the way slaves were treated during those horrible years of slavery and the Slave Triangle that traded African slaves to the Americas. In 1789, Olaudah Equiano wrote the book "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African," which describes his memories of being treated as a slave since he was 11 years old.

Olaudah Equiano's narrative shows how the interaction among the peoples of Africa and Europe impacted the course of slavery.

fiasKO [112]

The correct answer is C. Some truths are too difficult to fathom if one has not experienced them.

Elie Wiesel(1928-2016), was a Jewish writer that survived the Holocaust. He moved to New York in 1955 and became an activist of social injustices.

As a writer, he wrote "<em>Night</em>"(1958) and <em>"All Rivers Run to the See"</em>(1995).

Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
