POST #7 – Reading and GRQ – Theater of the People

The Greeks, after adopting the Phoenician alphabet, would proceed to create many forms of entertainment after understanding its possible uses. Some advancements in architecture include the Greek Amphitheatre, in which—thanks to its design—the sound was amplified to the point where a coin being dropped could be heard from every row of seats. It would not be long, however, before the Romans would use Gothic architecture to enhance theatre. Gothic architecture would be utilized for domes, vaults, churches, and many more buildings resembling and respecting the gods.
