The Pantheon and the Pope's Threads

posted by LIM College

My trip to the Pantheon was incredible. I was blown away when I found out that the height is the exact same dimension as the width of this colossal building. It is perfectly balanced. Aside from the towering pillars, the inside has a perfectly round open circle on top of the ceiling dome. I learned that the exact length of the inside pillar matches the diameter of this skylight. Both sun and rain enter the Pantheon (which has an excellent drainage system) and was erected to honor all deities of that century to ensure safety in their daily lives.
