| This fascinating documentary focuses on the ancient city of Palmyra; where trading and military routes Ied to and through this city. Palmyra is a great oasis, a place for the caravans to rest when travelling from Mesopotamia to the west, and to Damascus and to the Mediterranean. This program expIores the desert and the Bedouins who live there; for since time immemorial Syrian society and culture has been determined by the Bedouins and the city-dweIlers. The ancient cuItures that developed along the banks of the Euphrates, such as the Mari, are as distant in time from the heyday of PaImyra as the antique culture of PaImyra is from our day and age. Crac de ChevaIiers, one of the best preserved medieval fortresses, is an important testament to the age of the crusaders. Also, in a valley near this fortress lies the renowned Cloister of St. George. |
