About the book
It was probably the greatest construction project of antiquity: in 520 King Darius I of the Achaemenids had a forty-acre terrace piled up at the foot of the Kuh-e-Rahmat -- the Mount of Mercy -- in the central Persian plateau. Here the new capital of the Persian Empire was to arise: Parsa, or Persepolis. Architects, craftsmen and artists from all the corners of a world empire that extended over three continents, from Indus to the Black Sea, from the Caspian Sea to Ethiopia, were mobilized to construct a magnificent city. This program reconstructs the imposing site. The architects Wolfgang Gambke and Kourosh Afhami rebuilt Persepolis virtually with an animation program also used by architects and urban planners. - Container.
