Comparing The Statue Of Liberty And The Pantheon
At the Grand Canyon the conditions are not great for metals. The temperatures have highs in the one hundreds. The lows of the Grand Canyon are only seventy to eighty degrees. The bottom of the grand canyon only gets nine inches of rain a year. The bottom also has a massive river. That puts a lot more water in the equation. This made it so you would need a strong material. While the Pantheon is made of mostly stone and some metal. The Statue of Liberty is metal. The difference in wearing over time is substantial. The Statue of Liberty is not looking so good when compared to the pantheon. The two are built about one thousand seven hundred to one thousand six hundred years apart. So I had to come up with a cheap, but reliable way to build

    The Parthenon in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome are two of the greatest pieces of architectural and historical masterpieces. Both structures were created to be a place of worship not only for one but many different gods. These two buildings are 1,280.2 kilometers apart but they had so much in common. Similarities in the two buildings is the vast number of columns built. The columns in Parthenon were carved out of blocks stacked on top of each other, whereas the ones used in the Pantheon is made of one solid block of granite, which was brought from Egypt. Both had statues and carvings of gods, which were worshiped by the cultures. The most obvious difference is their shape, the Parthenon is rectangular, and the Pantheon…

    It is remarkable that The Pantheon even today, nearly two thousand years after it was constructed, is as stable as when it was first built. It is almost beyond understanding that the Romans could build this structure without the benefit of modern machines or tools. Nor did the Pantheon engineers have the advantage of modern transportation methods. All the materials were floated down the Tiber and moved to the site by man and animal on carts of the period.…

    The Pantheon is one of the oldest Roman buildings that has been in continuous use for almost 20 centuries. It was built during a tumultuous time in Ancient Rome. The Empire was expanding rapidly and was constantly at war with its neighbors. Internally, civil war was rampant as legions of soldiers had grown more loyal to their generals than the Roman Senate in farther parts of the empire. Rulers tried different way to calm the feelings of the war-tired Romans and bring unity to the land. The Pantheon was one of these attempts.…

    To anyone in New York City, Federal Hall Memorial and the Parthenon may not look anything alike. But you cannot try and compare the two buildings directly for the obvious reason that they were built for completely different reasons, time periods, and importance. On one hand, the Parthenon was originally constructed in 432 BC as an ancient Greek temple dedicated to the Goddess Athena, and on the other, Federal Hall Memorial built in 1842 as a memorial on the site of the old Federal Hall. The Gods were so important to the ancient Greeks that the Greeks were willing to spend 15 years of hard manual labor to build the Parthenon to pray.…

    The Greek architecture used mainly columns in most of their temples. The shape of the column was the most significant architectural factor. There were three types of columns, which were Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. On these columns would lay a magnificent centerpiece, which displayed Greek gods or any sort of decorations. On the other hand, the Romans' architecture used mainly arches, which could hold much more pressure than a column. Romans also used columns in their buildings, but only in a decorative form. Arches were made of stones or bricks and placed on top of each other in a way that it can form an arch and hold weight upon itself. In most Roman architectures, such as the Colosseum, there would be a dome over the top to protect from rain, sun, or any other weather. The dome has a massive weight, so there has to be something to support it up, and this is where the job of the arch takes place.…

    When you look at the Colosseum you can see columns, arches, and other detailed designs within in the walls. Much like the Romans, Americans tend to salvage the good remains of buildings so that they can be used elsewhere. Today there are many buildings that have the same type of construction. Two examples being The White House and the Washington Capitol Building, two buildings represent power much like the Colosseum, both buildings consisting of the similar style columns and arches. You could sit here and try and convince yourself that there are differences between these buildings and the Colosseum, like it not being a similar shape but its not about that, the main importance would be how the structure is being held up and that would be with the strong, sturdy pillars that carry the image of power. This idea has been carried on through schools, Police departments, Courts, and even some banks have had similar structures. All of these buildings symbolize a lot of power over people for their own individual…

    The Coliseum and the Globe Theatre are alike in many different ways, such as how the Globe was made and even to the levels on both of them. In the Coliseum, the higher power or the rich and king sat at the bottom. In the Theatre the idea was the same but switched, the rich were are the top and the poor were at the bottom. The shape of each building is great for entertainment because noise easily bounces off of the walls, as well as trapping it, making it easier to hear. The Theatre based it's design off of the Coliseum. Both buildings had a cover that gave the audience shade, the Coliseum had a cover that surrounded almost the whole stadium. While the theatre has cover for only certain parts. The cover however would not shelter the performers…
