Ancient History: Rome If You Want To, The Pantheon (EP2) - Drive Thru History

[@chadcastagana9181]

5:29 It was an architectural design to build the Pantheon of progressively lighter materials to reduce the load on the supporting walls. Not to save time and money!

[@daveygivens735]

Ya, I don't think the Roman elite were really too concerned about time or money. It was a structural necessity.

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Those columns outside are so impressive and friendly. An old friend. Very old friend.

🏛 It is the copy of the "Caesarium" in Alexandria which was built behind the two needles of Cleopatra.

I was there last week, and the ceiling of the dome looks much cleaner (downright new looking). It looks entirely like that one bit you can see at 6:25.

[@paoloviti6156]

Interesting! When I was living in Rome I very often when to have my coffee in the square as I always enjoyed watching the pantheon with fascination! Easley one of my favorite construction so full of history!

[@victorjames7]

@ 6:16 - The dome roof was built up in stages (or imagine rings) with the largest ring made with the heaviest material then each ring becoming lighter in stages before reaching the domes Oculus.

Roma caput mundi

[@snowblue2362]

I know this building...am glad i found it.

[@braschigiovanniangelo5559]

if you ask to Roman citzens where the ''Pain-thee-on'' is located, they probably do not understand you (pronounce mispelled): in Rome it sounds: ''P-AAA-nTe-on''.

[@essaubeid721]

Very nice

Ever watch something and think “that was made for an American audience”

how beautiful

[@nickwood5356]

what do they do when it rains?

[@catfuller91]

It would be wonderful if you would post sources for your information. Especially the original dedication of the temple build by Marcus Agrippa.

[@drtrabalhista]

Tartaria tech, Giants build.

[@paulian4926]

How could that empty hole prevent rain or dust?

[@FrancescoBarberoIT]

It doesn’t, but the floor is ok and water flows through holes

[@SalvatoreEscoti]

Unfortunately they took all the wonderful decorations off it and striped this monument naked. By the way. His shoes are terribly ugly, no one is allowed to wear those ugly shoes in Rome!

[@mango2005]

The marble floor is the original one

[@brianmoriarity1764]

@@mango2005 Yes, and beautiful! However the portico was once lined underneath in bronze. Taken by Urban VIII Barberini at a later date.

[@theven.johnc.yanekd.d.3534]

@@mango2005 The original floor was replaced by Pope Pius IX in the latter half of the XVIII century.

Are there any videos of you bench pressing 700, 800 lbs. I would really like to see that LOL🏋️‍♂️

[@flemminglindblad9637]

Very fine video, but please use the metric system. This is what 96% of the world's population uses.

[@jasrenfro9856]

No

[@stanleygagner]

Apparently everything in the pantheon is about 5 cars in size 😆
