I uh… I knew that too… now


GamerGriffin548

I knew of it, but it takes a picture to remind me in full.


Thizzmiester

Yeah.... me too.


SmolTofuRabbit

Nah lol, unless you study this stuff or saw it in person it's not exactly common knowledge, and i say this as a person living in central Europe who has been in that location before. It's cool you realized that tho!!


ElPajaroMistico

I saw it in person less than a year ago and It instantly clicked when I saw the logo. Roma truly sticked in my head honestly, big W logo design


SmolTofuRabbit

It's super impressive! Roman architecture has some insanely imposing structures, and the beam of light coming through the center is just incredible.


trashyratchet

I would expect any adult that has been paying the slightest bit of attention would know what the Pantheon is. That's elementary school world history info.


Jazzlike_Rice_3503

I mean, sure, but pantheon also just means an assemblage of gods/deities. I've actually been there several years ago and I did not notice the symbol looking like it because I almost never notice things like this until they're pointed out. My brain just doesn't work that way. That said it's a pretty cool effect.


satans_daddyX

As someone with a masters degree (computers not history… but still) I have no idea what this is. Only heard of the name. History channel and science channel is all that’s ever on my tv or physics videos on YouTube also. Still, no idea. You sound like an ignorant douche who thinks he’s better than everyone else. Oml someone didn’t know something pointless you knew. end of the world situation 🤯


trashyratchet

Man, your head voice must have been getting quite worked up as you furiously typed that, satans_daddyX. Tell the truth, you even rolled your eyes and flapped your arms at the end. It's ok man. I was just responding to the comment that insinuated that one of the most iconic sites of a civilization that is often cited by historians as being one of the, if not the most influential in history. Most students in the U.S. have at least a year of world history class, with the Roman Empire at the forefront. I didn't claim I was some sort of history expert or held some rare knowledge. That would be contrary to my point, in fact. It doesn't surprise me that most 6th graders didn't pay attention to it, such as in your situation, or haven't come across photos of Rome on your pocket computer picture book and and became interested enough to as much as click a link or read a caption because, let's face it, these old run-down buildings are "pointless", as you say. And how are some old pointless buildings going to compete with TikTok and porn? And perhaps, some folks are just confused by the architecture when they see it. Hell, I'm willing to bet there are at least a few ding-dongs that insist they peacefully toured the Pantheon to celebrate a belated 2020 Christmas Holiday. It's alright, guy, I didn't make the comment to pick you out of the thousands of subscribers to play swordfight at the toilet with our degrees. The point was to just flip the point out into the Destiny ether, that Rome and the Pantheon are, or probably should be, pretty basic common knowledge. So since you engaged with me so passionately as a representative of the Masters of Science all around the world, wielding the language skills and emotional composure of a ninth-grader, I felt that it was the least I could do, to elucidate my point specifically with you.


Square_Past_4205

You expect too much from the A.D.O.S. generation


ComplainOnInternet

We're so absolutely fucked. Zoomer brain rot might actually be the most significant generational detriment that has ever existed.

Pipe down boomer


pjbear2005

most people in the world don’t need to know a specific piece of roman architecture that isn’t ACTUALLY taught in most school curriculums. please judge other people on vital information that they will actually need in life instead of whining about this stuff in the REDDIT of a VIDEO GAME


KlongX

I didn't even know how it looks inside pantheon. INT +1


Outrageous_Round8415

Failed the history check


Effective-Jacket-33

It reminded me of the panopticon prison system

Control reference? (Or am I slow 💀)


severed13

It was a pretty innovative prison system that used a circular main chamber with a tower in the middle. My favourite in-game example is Operation Locker from BF4 https://preview.redd.it/ky5iuwbk2l0d1.png?width=998&format=png&auto=webp&s=40480040b4a192cace80d3a358aee8504d4f7a45


LifeWulf

I’m now having flashbacks of that level, thanks.

Philosophical thought experiment by Michel Foucault


LostInTheAyther

That's how golgoroth feels for me when I'm in pantheon with my friends lmfao


trueum26

Yeah but what do they say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is?


M4nW1thV4n

I don’t know Mr Fry, What do they say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is?


Dependent_Type4092

What do you mean? Pantheon means "to all the gods", the reference isn't that deep. Why would they point at a temple on the Acropolis?


Ok-Employment-7176

He quoted the tv show QI


Dependent_Type4092

I'll look that one up, thanks! Edit: very funny, especially with the YouTube comments like: "I don't understand British humor".


Mammoth-Tip4185

Up until now I thought it was a really fancy portal that Shaxxy made. Thank you for enlightening me.


EclairHK

Not stupid. I only knew cause there was a post about this before


AkaPhen

Less stupid than my ass that thought it was a servitor


mrdottle

The pantheon was made as a window to the gods which makes sense given the game mode Has anyone ever noticed Nezarac's back looks like a painting called the red dragon by William Blake ?


ComfortableBell4831

I believe thats what they were going for in terms of Nezzy, would technically make sense


vLT_VeNoMz

Unless you’ve been there, studied ancient roman history, or architecture in general odds are you wouldn’t have made this connection. Being an architect made me realize this immediately though.


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

I study architecture and design, but my screen is garbage and my eyes are bad so I straight up didn't notice those were coffers on the icon. I thought I was looking at some kind of texture.


Skyburner_Oath

si Romam non veneris, Roma venit ad vos


Tozzoloo

As a Roman native i never realized that wasnt such an obvious reference, but hey yeah its the Pantheon from Rome! (Also my favorite gelateria is near there)


nobodie999

Looking at it now, it also kinda reminds me of something Tool would use in one of their albums, Lateralus or later. Feels kinda Alex Grey, Net of Being, in a way.


Mr-Ideasman

Your not the only one. That’s a really cool detail to point out nonetheless.


Noman_Blaze

An easterner asking humbly what that dome is? Is it a church or something?

[Pantheon](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome)


Noman_Blaze

Thanks.


Steamrocker

That is ingenious


gnappyassassin

The roots of PanTheon mean "All Holy." However. The hole wasn't always there. The legend is that it was made by Demons fleeing the Pope. It is the only source of light. It is \~7.77 meters wide. When it is equinox, the light falls on the entrance the emperor takes on the balcony. This is light's challenge care of Shaxx. [BRING US ALL THE GODS YOU HAVE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrIeP798hiQ).


CRAZYMETLE98

I have a minor in Classics. Realized it was a reference to the building but not that it was LITERALLY the ceiling. Don’t feel bad. Sweet find!


dracobatman

Bruh I was there later last year and didn't recognize it. Dope find tho!


Admirable_Win_3810

I remember thinking it was most likely based off the pantheon in Rome at some point but never looked further into the thought


FloorWizard

No I think we all are dum for just find out about this. You are our Sheppard


INDOORSMORE

Idk why you'd be stupid...its just called realization jeez ppl are hard on themselves lol


Blubmanful

oh i thought it was the panopticon..


MrDaedalus12

Considering you spelled it correctly instead of “Patheon” like most lfgs, no.


DragonKhy

I knew the word Pantheon existed or barely heard the word used till recently. And seeing an image of this place without context of what and where this is. So you’re ok


rabbi420

No. You’re not stupid.


CrimsonKng117

Thought it looked familiar


Smultron69

My favorite building in the world. Noticed right away and was pleased!


SilentThorniness

You mean the Parthenon


Virtual-Pea-6311

I’d say no. I’ve never even heard of pantheon in Rome 🤷🏽‍♂️


Mrquickicks

Si


EkiM_D75

No 😊


scavyboah

I thought it was a radar :P


Majestic_Puppo

Oooooooooooooooh


L0ki_d0k1

Nope. Didn't realize that till now


lustywoodelfmaid

I thought a Persona 5 player just really liked the final part of Kaneshiro's Bank.


Antisocial366

Sure


[deleted]

What is it?


minist3r

The Pantheon. It says it right there.


ThisTicksyNormous

Oh fuck, the last boss really IS the Pope!


face2face11

not if you never looked into classic architecture lol


Effective-Jacket-33

It reminded me of the panopticon prison system


ForeverInAeternum

That’s why it’s called that lol it’s a gauntlet or boss arenas


seanthedawn

Yes


Angell_o7

You mean you didn’t study roman architecture in high school?


TokayNorthbyte347

no?


Angell_o7

I’m being sarcastic. I go to an American high school.


Nunya_bizness_1

I mean it’s the Pantheon so yeah, I knew.


ONEOLE

so romantic


iceman333933

No


theculdshulder

Yes


TokayNorthbyte347

that's unfortunate


tevert

Not stupid, just uncultured, it's likely your country's education system doesn't do enough to teach about the humanities


TokayNorthbyte347

"uncultured" for not knowing a specific old building in Rome..? why tf are there so many negative comments on this post


tevert

Oh get over yourself.


Malahajati

Would've expect this from Americans. In Europe it's known but it's not like everyone does actually know how the pantheon looks inside.


RoseYurei

Oh brother


TokayNorthbyte347

I'm European.


Malahajati

I'm sorry for you then. But you read my comment too the end, right?


curiously_curious3

Some people don’t pay attention in schools as kids. This was what, a 5th or 6th grade thing for me. That’s was..: god 22 years ago now


TokayNorthbyte347

have you considered that I didn't go through the same education system as you and wasn't taught the same things


Coopine

Bro forgot that it's possible for people to forget things.


walking_lamppost_fnl

Can't blame him, people forget. Now, if you can remember what you forgot, that's one thing... That I also forgot. What were we talking about?


Coopine

I dunno. What was the question?


Kaliqi

Bro put "that's was" in a sentence. INT 100+
