This is a shitshow. Colloseum is being eroded by environmental effects day by day. You know hat the correct answer is? Maintainence. Its solves the issue of tuourists being morons too
The colosseum is almost 2000 years old, it's not getting eroded. At least not on a human time scale. Most of the damage present occurred during the Renaissance when people harvested marble from it for other stonework.
Also earthquakes.
What do you mean "not on a human scale"? In your lifetime? Arguably not, on a human scale, absolutely yes.
