Pilou, it is true. The floor of the Pantheon is in the way.

haha good answer yup, it seems like the marble does a good job at stopping the rain

but apparently there's a rumour going around that if enough people were inside, the heat they would generate would create an upwards draft that would deflect the rain... not true obviously, that would be one windy building!

In the National Geographic Magazine of History (not the usual one) of this month , appears a drawing of the Pantheon. In that drawing, all the windows have the aspect of the first photo that you have uploaded. Perhaps those two windows are the original roman ones, and the others are recent restorations (I don't know). If you want to see the magazine, don't worry, it's the spanish edition, paisano

(I suposse you are modeling the actual Pantheon, not the original one).

hi pichuneke! yes, I read about this on Wikipedia (so you know it's true ), the Pantheon has undergone lots of restorations in it's time, to the point that everything under the dome is different. Apparently those two windows were an 18th century attempt to make it look like it did originally.

Astounding

Please... can you model the Pantheon of the second century? (Yes, I ask you too much, it's one of the more incredible models I have ever seen).

So thank you once again, you guys really motivated me with your comments!
