How the Pantheon’s Dome Stands

For nearly 2,000 years, it has stood as an unsolved mystery. 🤔 The Pantheon's dome is not just a beautiful landmark; it's a structural enigma that defied physics and continues to baffle engineers today. How did the Romans build a concrete dome so vast, without any steel reinforcement, that has survived earthquakes, wars, and the elements? 🌧️⚡ In this video, we crack the code of this ancient architectural miracle. We'll venture beyond the iconic oculus and explore the hidden secrets locked within the dome's very fabric. Discover how Roman engineers used revolutionary materials and genius design to achieve the impossible. We'll break down the dome's anatomy, from its massive supporting walls to the clever tricks that lighten its load. What is the secret of the "self-supporting" concrete? Why did the Romans use different types of aggregate, from heavy basalt at the base to light, porous pumice at the top? 🪨⬆️🧱 And how does the famous oculus actually strengthen the structure instead of weakening it? This is a journey into the mind of a Roman engineer—a masterclass in innovation that modern science is still unraveling. 🔍
