Origin: Originally from the ancient Roman Senate House (Curia Julia), built around 80 AD.  Age: Approximately 2,000 years old.  Weight and size: Each door weighs 1,763 lbs (800 kg) and is nearly 23 feet high.  Engineering: Despite their immense size and weight, they are so perfectly balanced that one person can open and close them.  Current use: They serve as the main entrance to the basilica.

That would suck if you had to stand there all day opening and closing that for people coming and going all day long.
