Palmyra

Palmyra was once called the Bride of the Desert. Today Palmyra is a collection of silent, empty ruins left in an unforgiving desert. Palmyra was once an important trading city within the Roman empire. Through Palmyra passed goods from Persia on its way to the Roman heartland. The city bustled with life and commerce. Caravans arrived and caravans left. Palmyra was also a religious centre. Animals and possibly humans were sacred to the gods. In this book is captured what Palmyra looks and feels like today. 2000 years of history feels very close to you. Will we be able to build something that lasts in eternity?
