| | Often times a pantheon of gods is known by the name of the tribe of human beings who worshipped them (for instance, the Greek gods, Celtic gods, or Aztec gods). | | | All pantheons of gods have their own myths of creation (which were once adopted by their human worshipers), assigning members of their pantheon with key positions in the creation of all that is. Obviously, not all of these origin tales can be simultaneously literally true, and current scientific knowledge tends to discredit all of them. | | | It may be happenstance that some skill or aspect of a god's nature was singled out for worship by the associated human tribe, but each human tribe has a god to correspond to all of the forces and attributes that are culturally significant to it. |

| | Until the 5th century, it was a temple dedicated to all the Roman gods. | | | But when Michelangelo first saw the Pantheon in the early 1500s, he proclaimed it of "angelic and not human design." Surprisingly, at that point, this classic Roman temple, converted into a Christian church, was already more than 1350 years old. | | | While the Pantheon may be divinely protected, there are more earthbound reasons for its survival as well. |
