Shukūh-i Takht-i Jamshīd (Kitāb va DVD, Fārsī - Ingilīsī): English 1390

Seized and burned by Alexander the Great's conquering army, shaken by uncounted earthquakes, eroded by ٢٥ centuries of rain, fluctuating temperatures and scouring winds, Persepolis - the greatest of the royal residences of Persia - is still a remarkable ancient ruin. Yet, the place remains an awesomely impressive sight ٢٥٠٠ years after it was built. Even today those who set up to this gigantic terrace of ١٢٥٠٠٠ square meters and see its remnant yet majestic columns, are filled with a sense of awe drifting into a dream-like trance. A dream in which one tries to visualize the beauty and dazzling splendor of Persepolitan Palaces before their sad destruction. The present package, containing this book and its companion documentary film is an attempt to make this dream come true. (with art paper and coloured pictures)
