You do a great job! From the precursor introduction of the history, to the camerawork as you walk in and around the Pantheon, even the commentary with all the stable/amazing angles you capture. The Pantheon is amazing, and you do a great justice highlighting it!

[@lesleymicuda4041]

What a completely awesome video!! I am completely spellbound by this structure!!!!!

[@onebillionsoulsforchrist1574]

Thanks for sharing!

[@frankschmitzer5824]

Wonderful. Your enthusiasm and wonder for this magnificent building comes through strongly. Manuel Bravo's You-tube on the Pantheon is also excellent, especially concerning the use of cement and the engineering involved. I loved this video. Please continue. Good luck!

[@MelissaJoyOhlsson]

This just brought back so many awesome memories of seeing Rome and visiting the Pantheon just last month. Truly a magnificent building with a rich history!

[@judithhinton5784]

Beautiful video, Ariel...so interesting and informative! I also watched your video on The Weeksville Heritage Center today, which I thoroughly enjoyed. You do an awesome job...thanks for sharing!

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

I'm so happy you enjoyed this video and the one of Weeksville! :D more rome videos to come!

[@mamavswild]

The latin inscription on top of the pantheon says, 'Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucias, when Consul for the third time, created this building'.

[@lesleymicuda4041]

New Sub because of this!! U r FAB!!

[@trevin1770]

I LOVE that 3 types of concrete were used to construct the dome. That was such an ingenious idea!

[@bruh666]

Great video, it's so much more interesting seeing someone talk at the action location instead of just with photos.

[@Fragrancemex]

Amazing thank you so much

[@lorraineviera9967]

Fantastic video with high quality imagen. Very informative and educational. It seems that I was there with an enthusiastic, knowledgeable tourist guide. ✈️🏺

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

thank you so much for watching :D

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

The doors are bronze not iron

[@tent160]

You’re awesome!

[@vmutuma]

I read somewhere that the Pantheon was built on the site of another building that burned down.

[@henrikpersson1962]

With all these people seeing it in Rome, you will see more if you just sit at your computer.

[@marieeve624]

Thanks for sharing, you should have your own tv show. Really interesting.

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

thanks Marie!! I'm so glad you found this interesting! And yes you'll see me on TV some day :D

[@Devils-advocate78]

Don’t encourage him

[@deniecedonnafield4749]

You are a fantastic tour guide....🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Tomiply]

>Films amazing building in 2020 >Video is only 720p What. I don't even upload videos, but I always make sure to film at 4K when I'm out traveling, especially if it's something like this.

[@mamavswild]

The latin inscription on top of the pantheon says, 'Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucias, when Consul for the third time, created this building'.

[@MattZaycYT]

This is so beautiful. We should appreciate the fact the this part of human history still intact.

[@aureliorodriguez5136]

9:36 "And in the top actually (the dome) has basalt". A respectful correction: basalt is a dark, very heavy volcanic rock. For the upper portion of the dome they used instead pumice ("piedra pòmez" in Spanish), a clear, foamy and extremely lightweight ashy volcanic rock that floats in water. Thanks for your video.

[@samright4661]

Can we just say The Pantheon is the most beautiful building ever built. Hadrian was busy invaded Britinna and built his wall

[@EliKentner]

Song at the beginning of the video?????

[@CAGLARBICER-on5jz]

There are wrong information about the level of Pantheon. Street level was not high, when it was build.

[@katherinemadson4137]

Very nice video. One correction, the doors are constructed from bronze, not iron.

[@bill9989]

I'm going to Rome in mid May (2023). I'd like to visit the Pantheon (inside). Is there an admission fee? Do I need a reservation? Thanks.

[@ezragonzalez8936]

5:02 you got mad dog look by the guy in red lol!

[@gunthersquirrel5685]

Please correct me if I'm wrong... But aren't those doors bronze?

[@jeahavvalentin980]

Great 👍 video 👌

[@UrbanistExploringCities]

Thank you 👍

[@lildavve1652]

great reading skill! but a greater video!

[@mcdee367]

4:07 background music name please?

[@arnabbanerjee7433]

Nice vdo... yea My House looks like a Pantheon 😇 in kolkata INDIA

[@leonardodarosi3941]

"Margarita" di Savoia? E chi era?

[@ottomanslapx7157]

The doors are made from solid bronze, not iron.

[@sjyork7421]

Was rebuild by Hadrian. But built by Agrippa during Augustus’s reign.

[@tobybromfield3664]

What I really want to know is how the interior has changed from Roman times. Ie. how the Christians changed it when it became a church over time

[@MattZaycYT]

I think nothing changed. Many building the changed hands during it's history keeps the original characteristics. You can see this even in mosques that where churches before. They would not be crazy to destroy or change this important part of human history. They just used the bulging as a church. That my understanding.

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

The pagan idols were removed and Catholic altars and shrines were Installed.

[@howardkoor2796]

@t This is a great detailed article of the construction of the Pantheon. From Dr. Stephen T. Muench (by student Alec Harrison) / 12.14.2015 Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Washington

[@raneshvanan1593]

yk my school too seem like a pantheon

[@GodsXChild]

If the dome is open , when it rains where does the water go lol ?

[@silviacalvano5398]

There are holes on the ground to drain water

[@whitespirit1000]

Does these type of buildings that are build like this have a name?

[@grantsims1729]

We did not have to pay or get reservations, it was just walk! Crowds really and with time of day. Late afternoon most busy. Early mornings are the best. I LOVE this building-a MUST SEE.

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

Served as Canon Precentor here when living in Rome. Restored the Tridentine Latin Mass and the Pentecost shower of roses in 1993

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

Veni sancti Spiritus.

[@michaelhoerig4430]

Rotunda is the base of a dome, not heavy-set! Come on people.

[@skyhigh1154]

you are not giving the right info, it was indeed built by Agrippa, but burnt down twice and was afterwards rebuilt some 200 yrs later by Hadrianus

[@orestsorokovyi189]

ah long before the pancoronatheon era or maybe it has always been around but we just didnt think too much about it all the time

[@whalehands]

All those tourist

[@billyfolseakabbafolse6555]

Structures older in Lybia same thing.

[@sleepycharlie673]

So?

[@alejandravdvd788]

I would not use the word “imported “ robbed suits better

[@izzyizzm8761]

The statues at the bottom were not there. That’s where the priest would teleport up from the underworld. These monuments were built by giants ( Door/Columns). Standing waves and priest cloaks that we’re lined with a metallic layer. Silly 🙃 Ro

[@Me-fm9zk]

Overacting ruined it

[@anarchylastkingdom5593]

So u are telling me that the primitives romans build this masterpiece and u want me to believe u. If it withstand 2000 years then probably withstand 4000 or 6000 years. Yea this was build by a far superior civilization
