Memahami Iran: Apa yang Diungkapkan Persia Kuno tentang Konflik Modern | Dokumenter Lengkap

In episode Planet of Treasures, historian Christopher Clark explores the two oldest cultural landscapes on Earth – Jordan and Iran – to uncover the secrets of once mighty empires and UNESCO World Heritage sites. From the red sandstone cliffs of Wadi Rum, inhabited by the Bedouin for over 12,000 years, to the majestic ruins of Petra, the ancient capital of the Nabatean Kingdom (4th century BC – 106 AD), this journey reveals how trade, religion, and empires shaped the region. Crossing eastward, Clark travels to Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire founded by Darius the Great around 518 BC, before continuing to the stunning city of Isfahan, a jewel of Safavid architecture. Throughout the journey, the documentary traces back the influence of Greek, Roman, Persian, and Arab cultures, whose architectural and cultural legacies still define the Middle East today. Taken from the breathtaking desert landscapes and bustling ancient cities, the documentary brings to life the deep layers of history that continue to shape the crossroads of East and West.
