    Fun fact! One of the ideas for building the dome was piling dirt until it was high enough they could build the dome. To get rid of the dirt they decided the only logical solution was filling it with gold coins so the peasants would come and take the dirt away.

    No, taking the wine away, at that time, was not an option. Anyway, three deaths over 16 years is not only a fantastic safety record for the middle ages it is a pretty damn fine record for the modern age. In contrast, Texas Stadium, here in DFW, took five years to complete and had seven deaths. And it is no cathedral, just a giant dome for millionaires to play a children's game in.

    Everything you said here is correct, except about honey comb structure. That stroke of brilliance dates back to the Pantheon and was utilized primarily to reduce the weight of the dome. That alteration is what allowed the Pantheon dome to stand as it is; the world's largest unsupported dome for over 1,000 years. Before the Pantheon and HCS, even smaller unsupported domes collapsed under the strain of their own weight.
