Roman Amphitheatre at El Djem in Tunisia.

"El Djem is famous for its amphitheatre (often incorrectly called "a coliseum"), capable of seating 35,000 spectators. Only Rome's Colosseum (about 45,000 spectators) and the ruined theatre of Capua are larger. The amphitheatre at El Djem was built by the Romans under proconsul Gordian, who was acclaimed Emperor at Thysdrus, around 238 and was probably mainly used for gladiator shows and chariot races.

Until the 17th century it remained more or less whole. From then on its stones were used for building the nearby village of El Djem and transported to the Great Mosque in Kairouan, and at a tense moment during struggles with the Ottomans, the Turks used cannons to flush rebels out of the amphitheatre.

The ruins of the amphitheatre were declared a World Heritage Site in 1979."

I filmed this while on holiday in November 2008.

The music I used is from the soundtrack is Dream of Babylon by Vangelis for the sooundtrack to the movie Alexander. It's copyright and out on Sony Classical, so go and buy it!

Although they'll probably remove the sound from this instead of adding an add, so i'll be forced to remove it anyways.
