Honestly, I’d say they’d all be amazed that anything was left at all. They’d never have seen a 2000 year old building themselves, unless they’d visited Egypt possibly. And statistically they’d be right; very few structures that old actually survive.

That’s what makes the Pantheon so amazing. It’s easy to forget it’s that old when you’re standing inside, because the structure is still so sound!
