Hammam (Persian Bath)
Hammam (Persian Bath)
A bath in 4x5x4 dimensions, with 5 different functional spaces: the central space (bath) with 6 columns and persian arcs and a modern dome, Bar, relax room with a plasma TV, and services. The progect has based on a research of the ancient and modern persian baths. I believe that we have lost our architecting since last years of Qajari dinasty. We are just immitating the wetern modernism period in architecting and interior design. I absolutely against using the ethnic furniture to creat an ethnic interior. As you seen, in this virtual project, I have use even "Ionic greek capitals", but the space is persian. The persian caliagraphy is not a forniture, its form help me to emphacide on the curves of the arcs. Today persian architects or designers should know the persian architecture as well as modern western architecting, and try to use only modern technology and scince of structures, not froms and concepts.

All Arab regimes are the thugs for the arrogant entities, led by America and Zionism. The scums Arab regimes and their Media are in the Zionist team, they are not defending the Syrians but just because Syria does not bow to Zionism the same way that the Gulf States do. They are giving a lip service to their masters (Devils) AmriZioniSaudi Agenda. These armed-gangs and snipers are more related to the house of Saud. There is a clear link from the king of Saudi, to Hariri-allies in Lebanon, and those snipers in Syria and bombers in Iraq. Others may be involved too, but the puppet-king of Saud is replacing the Zionist-services in the whole region, in other countries too, in these days. Of course the Zionists are involved too, and are setting in the mission control centre of the operations; it's their agenda after all! The enemies move on Syria is signs of desperation, on behalf of Zionist and their Wahhabis lackeys, but to no avail, Syria will remain steadfast and will proudly keep resisting the enemy's plots, Lebanon will keep being shielded from Zionist aggression and western domination by the Islamic Resistance led by Hezbollah, while our Islamic Revolution will be victorious in Egypt, Bahrain, and the whole Persian Gulf, God's willing, after which Hejaz will be liberated, a prequel to the ousting of the US, EU and Zionist colonial powers from the region and for the first time in centuries, true independence and autonomy of the Muslim world.

Persepolis (Persia/Iran) -The Richest Ancient City Under The Sun!
Persepolis (Persia/Iran) -The Richest Ancient City Under The Sun!
Magnificent Persepolis (Takht-e Jamshid; admission IR5000; 7.30am-5pm Nov-Mar, 8am-6pm summer) embodies the greatest successes of the ancient Achaemenid Empire... And its final demise. The monumental staircases, exquisite reliefs and imposing gateways leave you in no doubt how grand this city was and how totally dominant the empire that built it. Equally, the broken and fallen columns attest that the end of empire was emphatic. Persepolis is a result of the vast body of skill and knowledge gathered from throughout the Achaemenids' empire. It is Persian in ideology and design, but truly international in its superb architecture and artistic execution. ADVERTISEMENT This multicultural concoction is alone in the ancient world, and while largely ruined it remains the greatest surviving masterpiece of the ancient Near Eastern civilisations. Respected scholar Arthur Upham Pope ably summed up the philosophy behind Persepolis in Introducing Persian Architecture (published by Tuttle in 1982). Humane sentiments found expression in the nobility and sheer beauty of the building: more rational and gracious than the work of the Assyrians or Hittites, more lucid and humane than that of the Egyptians. The beauty of Persepolis is not the accidental counterpart of mere size and costly display; it is the result of beauty being specifically recognised as sovereign value. Some historians believe the site of Persepolis was chosen by Cambyses II, son of Cyrus the Great, but work did not begin <b>...</b>

Tajikistan. Terrorists destroy military column in Rasht region
Russian TV report: News about the shelling of the military column and the death of 23 servicemen are broad-casted on all TV channels in Tajikistan. Today the Ministry of Defense has officially declared that the attack in Tajikistan was made by supporters of former warlords- Falouddina Davlatov and Abdullah Rakhimov,(better known as Mullo Abdullo.) The soldiers were attacked by grenade launchers and machine guns. During the Civil War in the mid-1990s, the leaders of the United Tajik opposition, (including Mullo Abdullo) were based in Rasht region. The Civil War in 1990s was so brutal and bloody, that the civilian population fled to Afghanistan, ie even in Afghanistan it was better than at home. In 1997 a reconciliation agreement was signed. Mullah Abdullah didn't accept the agreement. He fled to Pakistan where he fought with the Taliban. Last summer, he returned back to Tajikistan. September 15, the heads of all law enforcement agencies in Tajikistan went to Rasht district to negotiate with former warlords. According to the source agency ItarTass, meeting lasted several hours behind closed doors and sides didn't make any agreement. It was Wednesday, and on Sunday a military convoy was ambushed in Rasht.

Takhti : The Stolen Iranian Hero
Gholamreza Takhti (Persian: غلامرضا تختی, August 27, 1930 January 7, 1968) is the most famous wrestler in Iranian history. He was most famous for his chivalrous behavior and sportsmanship, and he continues to symbolize the essence of sport to the Iranian people. Takhti was born in Tehran, Iran (Persia) on August 27, 1930. Takhti's family was poor, leaving Takhti with only 9 years of schooling. But he was recognized as a natural athlete and was taken into the Poolad gymnasium for further training. Takhti was among the most famous practitioners of Varzesh-e Pahlavani the famous Persian "Sport of the Heroes." The sport included club swinging and juggling followed by submission wrestling known as Koshti Pahlavani. Varzesh-e Pahlavani was one of the formative influences of American catch wrestling. An example of his character comes from a match in Moscow. After defeating the then-world champion Anatoli Albul, Takhti saw the sorrow on the face of Albul's mother. Takhti went to her and said, "I'm sorry about the result, but your son is a great wrestler." She smiled and kissed him. In another instance, he had a match with Russian wrestler Alexander Medved who had an injured right knee. When Takhti found out that he was injured, he never attacked that leg. Instead, he tried to attack the other leg. He lost the match, but showed that he valued honorable behavior more than reaching victory. Alexander Medved, out of respect, has visited Takhti's grave many times in Iran over the <b>...</b>

Chehel Sotun Isfahan
Chehel Sotun Isfahan
Chehel Sotoun (also Chihil Sutun or Chehel Sotoon, Persian: چهل ستون, literally: "Forty Columns") is a pavilion in the middle of a park at the far end of a long pool, in Isfahan, Iran, built by Shah Abbas II to be used for his entertainment and receptions. In this palace, Shah Abbas II and his successors would receive dignitaries and ambassadors, either on the terrace or in one of the stately reception halls. The name, meaning "Forty Columns" in Persian, was inspired by the twenty slender wooden columns supporting the entrance pavilion, which, when reflected in the waters of the fountain, are said to appear to be forty.[1] As with Ali Qapu, the palace contains many frescoes and paintings on ceramic. Many of the ceramic panels have been dispersed and are now in the possession of major museums in the west. They depict specific historical scenes such as a reception for an Uzbek King in 1646, when the palace had just been completed; a banquet in honor of the Emir of Bukhara in 1611; the battle of Chalderan against the Ottoman Sultan Selim I in 1514 in which the Persians fought without firearms; the welcome extended to the Mughal Emperor, Humayun who took refuge in Iran in 1544; the battle of Taher-Abad in 1510 where the Safavid Shah Ismail I vanquished and killed the Uzbek King. A more recent painting depicts Nader Shah's victory against the Indian Army at Karnal in 1739. There are also less historical, but even more aesthetic compositions in the traditional miniature style <b>...</b>

Persia- Ancient Superpower
Persia- Ancient Superpower
In order to undesrtand the origin of the Achaemenid empire, one has to first understand the context in which it developed. Achaemenid empire so named after its first official monarch, Achaemenes was in essence a Persian empire. The name Persia is derived from the Greek word for the Iranian area located north of the Persian Gulf and East of Tigris river referred to as Persis (or in Persian, Pars).[10] Despite its success and rapid expansion, Achaemenid empire was not in fact the first Iranian empire, as by sixth century BCE another group of ancient Iranians had already established the Median Empire.[10] The term Achaemenid is in fact the latinized version of the Old Persian name Haxāmaniš (a bahuvrihi compound translating to "having a friend's mind"[11]), meaning in Greek "of the family of the Achaemenis." Despite the derivation of the name, Achaemenes was himself a minor seventh century ruler of the Anshan (Ansham or Anšān) located in southwestern Iran.[10] It was not until the time of Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II of Persia) a decendent of Achaemenes, that the Achaemenid empire developed the prestige of an empire, and set out to incorporate the existing empires of the ancient east, to become the vast Persian empire of which the ancient text speak of. At some point in 550 BCE, Cyrus the Great, rose in revolt against the Median empire (most likely due to the Medes' mismanagement of Persis), eventually conquering the Medes and creating the first Persian empire.

Persepolis (Capital of Persia in Greek) or Takht-e Jamshid (The Throne of Jamshid) became summer capital of Achaemenian after Pasargad. The construction of this impressive palace started by Darius I, one of Cyrus's successors, in about 518 BC. Was completed over a period of 150 years by subsequent kings Xerxes I and Artaxerxes I. It was burned down during Alexander the Great occupation in 331 BC. Historians debate whether was accidental or intentional retaliation. The entire complex was built atop a lofty terrace reached by a double stairway that led to the monumental Gate of Xerxes. The terrace is about 1475 ft long by 985 ft wide, and about 25-60 ft high. To the south, across a vast open space, was the huge Apadana, or Audience Hall of Darius; east of the Audience Hall rose the massive Throne Hall—called by early archaeologists the Hall of One Hundred Columns—which was begun by Xerxes and completed by Artaxerxes. Many other structures lay to the south of these main buildings, including the palaces of Darius and Xerxes and the royal treasury.

Florence of Orient, Persia's masterpiece, the Intrigue of Iran and the half rhymed famous adage "Esfahan Nesf-e Jahan" (Esfahan is half the world) all are to describe the splendor of a city shining along its life-giving river at the heart of Iran. When you tread into the city it seems as if it has been preparing itself for an impromptu royal visit. It is a city of inspiring architecture, elegant mosques, churches, graceful palaces, beautiful gardens and gorgeous bridges, a city made for the refreshment of humanity as Robert Byron says. Andre Malraux, the famous French author and adventurer says: "Who can claim to have seen the most beautiful city of the world without having seen Esfahan?" Sights to see in Esfahan: * Ali Qapu Palace * Imam's (formerly known as Shah's) mosque * Chehel Sotun (Pavilion of Forty Columns) * Shahrestan Bridge * Vank Cathedral * Bazaar-e Bozorg * Hasht Behesht Palace (The Eight Paradise) * Si-o-se Pol (bridge with 33 arches) * The Bathhouse of Sheikh Bahai (Hamam-e Sheikh Bahai) * Manar Jonban * Khaju Bridge This video only covers Aali Qapu Palace, Shah's mosque, si-o-se pol, and Khaju Bridge.
