- bradknowles 7y agoAnd the Pantheon still has the world’s largest cupola inside. We still don’t understand how to build them that big, despite 2000+ years of studying that sucker.
- evgen 7y agoWe know exactly how to build them that big, but choose not to because we have better materials and better techniques. That cupola was created because the builders were too ignorant to figure out a better way to enclose the space, with modern steel it is trivial to create a building that encloses the entirety of the Parthenon.
- Joe-Z 7y agoI was planning on finally visiting Rome this year :) Everyone who's already been tells me it's really impressive
