The Pantheon - Under the Dome

👀

looks like made by alien

The center is a psychedelic experience if you close your eyes. It represents the sun, solis, which is the source of life and is by definition spiritual

An architect is a fool get an engineer to comment 😀😃😄

All the prophets throughout history said, " there's only one God"

i asked

But what about all those layers of squares. Mind blowing

The dome of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul would make a good subject, too ( Constantinople 537 A D Justinian. The church of the Empire of Rome in the East. since until the 1490s.)

Beautiful portrait of a world treasure, with interesting technical analysis. Thank you.

You forgot to mention that they added coffers to lighten the structure. It is not only because of the light stones. Without coffers, this dome would not be possible.

Hands down the best of Italian

Imagine it all white. Infinity dome

I saw National Geographic's video on Filippo Brunelleschi's dome before I found this video.

Absolutely amazing that this building escaped the Catholic churches plundering of ancient Romes other structure although they removed all the brass supporting the entry covering roof for St Peter's.

As a Metalworker those entry doors are a marvel of of metalwork , absolutely staggering of Romes technological brilliance .

My favorite interior space in the world!

I want to go on my birthday 4/21. They made it so on 4/21 near noon the sunlight was supposed to cast from the hole at the top and shine on the door. Gave the illusion that Hadrian had control of the sun....or at least knew what it was and how to use it for power

Roman Empire rule the world

Roman gods > jeezus

Makes me think of Dalis "Raphaelesque Head Exploding"

Too much drama ! DREADFUL BACKGROUND MUSIC

Built by a Syrian architect 💪🇸🇾🔥

Actually Hadrian rebuilt the pantheon, it was originally built under Augustus by Marcus Agrippa. It says it right on the front of the building.

He was built by Syrian Roman Apollodorus of Damascus 🇸🇾🇮🇹

its an observatory for aliens. No!

No one worship...i am a pagan.

This design looks off this world, like machine carved it from inside

Hw corona Video

who else has to watch this for online school?

Why the horrible background music?

👌

Unfortunately the original gilt- bronze tiles were removed in the seventh century, by an eastern roman emperor, Constans, who stripped the decaying city of much treasure and took it to Syracuse, possibly intending to ship it to Constantinople. It then fell into into the hands of Saracens and was taken to Alexandria.

this is so wrong lol.. the pantheon was created to satisty divintion of roman emperors.. not the gods

I think originally the design was commissioned by Agrippa under Augustus, way before Hadrian. It just burnt down twice and was rebuilt.

amazing

How come you didn't mention the optical tweezers used in this & Coliseum..?

The floor is the original one

I wanna have sex to this building..

Oh, great! I was sure that we italians were only mobster, pizza-makers and retarded people that gesture.....

And is still standing and monumentally beautiful. Visited last year.

What about Haifa Sophia in Constantinople. That was build before the building in Florence
