| Video Discription | This video is in two parts. The first consists of a brief history of the ancient Achaemenid ceremonial capital of Persepolis (Parsa), which during its day was renown for its beauty and being the “the richest city under the sun.” We’ll take a look at the city’s inception and its tragic end under Alexander of Macedon and a bit beyond. The second part will be a walking tour of the city’s ruins where we’ll get a closer look at the Gate of all Nations, the Apadana, the Palace of Darius the Great, the Hall of 100 Columns, the tombs of Artaxerxes II and III and some other stunning views.
