Pantheon or Parthanon

because I have been traveling through Europe I have heard the names of these two epic historical buildings quite a bit. The problem is that because they sound so similar and I am ignorant I always get them confused. This problem continued until I went to the Pantheon this morning. now I am going to take the time to educate myself and you.

Pantheon- Located in Rome this was originally built as a temple to the gods of ancient Rome. Now, the term pantheon has become a general term for any monument in which the illustrious dead are burried. The Pantheon in Rome is the burrial site of Renessiance darling Rafeal (the name sake of the 2nd worst ninja turtle, his attitude did not sit well with me.) Although quite beautiful it is a bit boring.

Parthenon- located in Athens, Greece this is a temple to the Greek god Athena (whom the Greeks believed to be their protector.) This monument has the added bonus of being ruins which are alway fun to walk through because you feel like you have just survived an Apocolypse. That being said The Parthenon takes a hit in the awesomeness department because it is Greek rather than Italian (sorry Kostandinos.)
