They don't know how it was built, and they don't know how it stands, they say that if they tried to build it today, it would be impossible!! The dome is made of concrete but there is no reinforced steel rods so the structure should crumble under its own weight especially seeing as it has a 4 metre wide hole in the middle! If you made an exact replica of it, turned it upside down and underneath itself it would be a perfect sphere! Amazing!! I also acts as a clock and a calendar indicated by where abouts the sunlight falls inside the dome.
