Pantheon means ‘Temple of all Gods’ in Latin. Originally It was build around 1st BC in Rome later converted into church and still exists. This name inspires a national monument in Paris, France, used as a sepulcher for eminent French persons, (to honor them like God) begun in 1885.

amazing lady, especially given the time she lived in

Her husband also received one as did their daughter and her husband. That's also a record

The whole Curie family did so much to help the world, they were worthy winners of their Nobel prizes.

My beloved mama passed away from aplastic anemia. And she was born in Paris. She was a war bride.

Apparently Marie Curie was able to accomplish much without the benefit of today's highly-lauded "female empowerment".

didn't know she was buried there but "on her own merits" gave the answer away!
blah blah blah
Apparently, her remains are still radioactive

Divya Prakash, From mythical gods to human gods. But no credit to the One who originated all of these elements.

What I want to know is why she was entombed there.

Divya Prakash, the word pantheon is Greek

I was rubbish at sciences, but always remembered Marie and Pierre Curie. That's about as far as my science knowledge went!

Divya Prakash, Pantheon is a Greek word Παν θεον

It could be added that Marie Curie was buried in a lead casket to stop the radiation. And then in 95 in the pantheon, she was buried in a normal wooden one because the radiation was much lower.

Never knew this, great question!!!

Divya Prakash, your comment is very good and should be added to the explanation. They really need to explain the meaning and importance of the pantheon. Thank you.

the question is tricky, the first and "real" pantheon is located in Rome, and the question does not specify which Pantheon it does refer to!
Gargi Mishra
