Not that the Parthenon was a bodge; it doesn't present a technical mystery. People have done it a lot since ancient Greece. However no one has replicated the Cuzco walls.
Surely you can appreciate that?
Good to see you have the Pantheon figured all out.
Who came up with the design for the dome. Name one Architect today that could and would build a concrete expanse like that without steel supporting rods.
Hw did they get such heavy materials to such great heights.
Who resolved William Goodyears facade curvature observations.
How were the Oblique angles and curves on columns measured to achieve visual perfection from a front facing position.
Are you suggesting other Greek-Hellenistic structures were not only able to successfully replicate the unique angles at the Pantheon used in the facade and columns but were common? If so, what are parallel examples exist in construction design with regards to the above-mentioned angles?
Is the curvature in the pavement of the rotunda, which is is internal, intentional?
