They are located\u003cbr\u003enearly 30 miles northeast of the city of Shiraaz. During past centuries, Persepolis has continued to be a landmark\u003cbr\u003efor the pre-Islamic civilization in Iran and, therefore, great efforts have been used to protect Persepolis from the\u003cbr\u003edestructive intentions of conquerors of Iran, such as Greeks (c.320 B.C.), Muslims (A.D. 7th century), Tatars and\u003cbr\u003eMongols (A. D. 13th-15th centuries). (As such, a designer may propose that a pillar, or a column, of Persepolis to\u003cbr\u003ebe presented diagonally to impart a potential, dynamic tension for this site.) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present series seeks to collect images of the survived, architectural features in the historic cities of Iran before\u003cbr\u003ethey are completely wiped out in a modernization process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause of the use of stone as the main building materials in these two sites, they are in sharp contrast to the clay architecture in Iran. Costruction of the Persepolis Palaces Complex took nearly 100 years from the c.510 B.C. to c.\u003cbr\u003e400 B.C. In 320 B.C., the Persian Empire was defeated by Alexander and Persepolis was conquored by the Greeks.\u003cbr\u003eThe wooden ceilings of palaces went into ablaze and only columns and stone walls remained. Still, the skill and\u003cbr\u003emastership of builders from many nations during the 400 B.C., as a cosmopollitan, architectural feature, are alive\u003cbr\u003ein the stone carvings at different columns as well as in the majistic pillars and columns with the stone statues of \u003cbr\u003ewinged bulls. At present, Persepolis Palaces Complex is registered by the UNESCO as a world's heritage site. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis revised (2021) edition of the Volume V of this series invites viewers to \u003ci\u003eA Visual Journey To Persepolis and Naqsh-e Rousatm \u003c\/i\u003efor a review of the samples of stone architecture in contrast to the mainstream, the clay (or the indigenous), architecture in the historic cities of Iran.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47739733508344,"sku":"9798469327219","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/nMT4-DFt4D9798469327219.webp?v=1783656532","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/persepolis-and-naqsh-e-roustam-a-visual-journey-to-historic-cities-of-iran-vol-v-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
