This is worth a watch

 


Follow this link to watch a video put together by the Getty showing the architecture of Persepolis before Alexander burned it.

One of the best parts is where they show the condition of some of these features in present day.

Wow.

  1. Pretty cool but disappointed by the lack of light in the interior.

  2. Winged goat wearing Nikes? Man, those ancients were way ahead of their time.

  3. I couldn't get the video to play much of anything past the intro. Keeps hanging up. Restarted my laptop, same result.

  4. "...offered a mandatory tribute to the king..." Seems like a contradiction in terms, doesn't it?
    Awesome presentation by Getty. Thanks for sharing it with us, CW!!

  5. The Berlin Archaeological Museum is certainly worth an afternoon.
