The rose petals remind me of the annual remembrance day service held in London's Albert Hall. It also has a dome, and during the two minute silence so many, many thousands of poppy petals fall. Each petal represents a serviceman or woman who has lost their life in the line of duty since 1914.
I love that Arya says how wonderful it is to have all those rose petals tossed down the Oculus. And I'm sure it is. But the first thing it actually reminds me of is, how Elagabalus was supposed to have suffocated his dinner guests with the same act.
Me encantaría vivir en Roma, para tener la oportunidad de disfrutar de estas experiencias increíbles y poder recorrer cada uno de sus monumentos históricos con calma. Las dos veces que la visité, siempre tuve que ir corriendo de un sitio a otro para aprovechar al máximo mi estadía. Muchas gracias Darius por compartir este video. Saludos desde Chile.
Amazing, I wasn't aware of this action :) On a different note. It's always heartbreaking to see almost everyone filming and watching it through a small display, despite being there. Instead of living the moment, they are busy filming it. The experience is tainted and they have a movie which they will likely only see a couple of times in their lifes.
What incredible footage of the thunderstorm from inside the Pantheon! That's not something you could ever plan for. Congrats for being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of the prime filming opportunity. Surprised to learn that the Pantheon wasn't converted to a Christian church untl the 7th century and wonder why it took so long. Perhaps the diminished population in Rome after the fall of the empire had something to do with it? Great video. Thanks Darius!
The petals look amazing coming down. Curious as I am, I'd very much like to see a video with the crew that climbs on top and throws the petals down the oculus!
How was it now again...? The human being is like a little fly in a temple. The fly symbolizes the atoms and the rest is Spirit.- Something like that. -I really like the rose petal show! I blessed couple persons in a pub with rose petals without knowing this. Many drunk people wanted to be blessed, we had so much FUN! -Thanx Goddess!
Thank you Doc. Your so lucky to be living in a next door building. It is like dream. Btw/ is there any drawing of the broze ceiling of the portico before it was pulled down and melted?
Love the Pantheon epic beautiful, imho disgusted grossed out it was converted into a Christian church as this is my first time hearing of this. Suppose it's same way Christians feel about the Hagia Sofia is a mosque now and the Jews abt The Temple Mount Synagogue in Jerusalem called al-Aqsa Mosque. Better than being destroyed demolished left a wreck.
Actually, what destroyed or severely damaged the buildings were earthquakes, and they were later looted by the popes or the people of the city because there was no budget or interest in preserving them. That's why it's so important for them to have a use or a strong connection with their population; it preserves and maintains them over time.
Preserving old buildings is a modern phenomenon because in the past old structures that had passed their use by date and were no longer of a functional nature to the needs of the present were almost always demolished and new structures put up. You have to realize that because of the fall of the western empire and the transference of the capital to Istanbul (Constantinople) the old city of Rome went from being a city of millions to about ten thousand (I believe) at one stage - just think of the logistics of a city of ten thousand trying to maintain buildings that were originally designed for a city of millions!The irony of it all was that buildings that were changed into churches (like the Pantheon) were often the ones to survive. After all the papacy also demolished the old basilica of St Peter's that dated from the Constantinian era in order to build a more modern and imposing structure which is the present St Peter's in the Renaissance style.
The "holy spirit" that descends at the beginning can also be translated as the "awful spirit" in the Greek original. It refers to Domitian after the father Vespasian and the son Titus, who originally commissioned the gospels. Domitian was quite a disturbed and bitter character, and his father and brother made sure the Flavians got immortalised in a central piece of Christian ideology not without the typical double entendre.
"Awful" means full of awe or inspiring awe. Its use to mean "very bad" is 19th century slang that unfortunately has stuck and become standard, distorting the meaning of older texts that use it correctly.
@@ROMA--AETERNA Actually Titus started it, the main co-authors are well documented in Josephus and Pliny's dedication to Titus. Domitian added some later parts - the late gospels, Paul, the nativity story, revelation, and the Testimonium Flavium is quite obviously his as well.
@@Breakfast_of_Champions , it has been well documented (by Christians) that Domitian _persecuted_ Christians; although, that's been disputed lately. Regardless, _Domitian was _*_not a Christian!_* 🤯
What an incredible building. The Pentacost and the suns rays through the Pantheon is stunning. Great video. Thanks Darius.
My pleasure!

Hearing the thunder resonate inside the Dome must be an amazing feeling. I would embrace the rain wash my sins away in the sacred building.
Hope youre well Darius!!
Acoustics in the Pantheon is awesome. Caught a flash mob choir there.
Hope you come back Darius, I really enjoy you’re videos!!
110 🙏🏼

Amazing! It would be a life long dream to see the glory in person.
Mille grazie for letting me see what I will probably never be able to experience myself.

Interesting Stuff 👍
Wouldn't it be nice if the gilt bronze rosettes were to be restored to the dome!
CSODÁLATOS HELY! De el nélkülöztem volna a csúhások vonulását..ezek helyett a PANTHEON szépségeit néztem volna!
If it wasn't for potential soot damage that would be a great venue for an annual barbecue competition.

Always get mixed feelings when you realize all of Rome was that beautiful and because of the pope only thing that remains is the Pantheon.
Yes, they destroyed everything else...

Id love to see them perform old pagan rites
Eeew, no! Keep that darkness in the grave.

@@raedwulf61 - It's all mythology anyway, so it's just another flavor of ritual.
@raedwulf61 why do you associate Roman and Greek Mythology with Satanism? Its not dark whatsoever.

Domitian commissioned the gospels…!? You must be joking.
