Secrets of the Pantheon

    The Pantheon is a recordatorio of how powerful human being can be. It’s impressive that the building was constructed in 8-9 years and until today is a mystery how that is possible. The Pantheon is an icon of the Western civilization and symbolize the classical world.  Is the most copy building in the world and it’s still represented  the highest level of human creativity. The most prominence sculpture was inside completely gold, Athena, patron of the city of Athens. But that was then, none statues were remained. 

    The building is in danger of collapsed and now have a rescued mission, the cost today is easily a hundred of millions dollars. I’m impressed because when they say that the floor was curved I thought that was a mistake, but wasn’t.  It’s insane how they have a picture of each stone or block with all the data. Was funny the way that the man describes his frustration because today we have computers, we write all but in that time they cant explain how they do the Pantheon with all that technology. To save this masterpiece they need to unblocked the secrets of the past.  

    In just, 30 years before its was build Athens was in ruins. The Pantheon is the largest building in the world constructed entirely of marble. They take the measurements of an old piece and rebuild it to later join it with the old one and thus they fix the Pantheon. Observing how to rebuild everything takes so many procedures gives me stress. I believe that this is the reason why the reconstruction will take more time than it took to build the Pantheon.

    In conclusion, I loved watching the documentary since I personally find them entertaining and more if it is to inform me and learn how a monument was built. Seeing the video reminded me of a documentary I saw a year ago about how the pyramid of Giza was built, I recommend watching it. However, I consider that every time a person spoke they would put their name and profession below. On the one hand, I don't think they should focus much on how the Romans thought and built constructions. I know that to rebuild they must make and mold the blocks to perfection, but we are in the 21st century there must be a more advanced and effective technology that accelerates the process.
