"Persepolis Recreation" Screening
Add to CalendarDate: Thursday October 28th, 2004
Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Place: University of Maryland, College Park, Jimenez Hall, Room 0105
Seized and burned by Alexander the Great's conquering army, shaken by uncounted earthquakes, eroded by 25 centuries of rain, fluctuating temperatures and scouring winds, Persepolis- the greatest of the royal residences of ancient Persia- is a definitive ancient ruin. Yet, the place remains an awesomely impressive sight 2,500 years after it was built. Even today, those who step up its gigantic terrace of 125,000 square meters and see its majestic columns are filled with a sense of awe drifting into a dream-like trance.
