Hahahaha two circular monuments aligned in space… 😂 this commentator is a genius! What does 2 points not aligned look like?

[@markmaglanoc4439]

Brilliant

[@eduardorivera7723]

To say that is the most impressive building ever is debatable

[@gavinhill4121]

Definitely right up there

[@mattyhp]

I mean when you considering its lasted as long as it has and that most modern buildings we’ve built wouldnt last nearly as long against the elements, id say its pretty damn impressive.

[@eduardorivera7723]

i dont think youve ever seen anything thats over a thousand years or older in person

[@antoniomoreira5921]

[@samright4661]

It’s Common knowledge that Hadrian rebuilt the Pantheon

[@davetremaine9688]

Is this a joke? Are you seriously portraying this as this woman's "new theory" about the Pantheon because she flew a drone? The Pantheon we see today was built by Hadrian in the early second century after the original (built by Agrippa for Augustus, it says his name right on it) had burned down multiple times. The fact that the Pantheon and the Mausoleum of Augustus were linked has been known FOR A LONG TIME

the romans built things... that is what they were... builders... why... is the question.... in the front of the building you see a number of triangles.... and that theme continues up to the roof... what that means is square.... corners... that the body of the building is missing... because... it is round.... like the earth... that seems to build on top of itself...
