"This wide-ranging work, illustrated with color photographs, examines the art of Persia prior to Arab conquest and the dominance of Islam. It reaches back to prehistoric times to provide an overview of the main cultures that developed in this ancient area of the Middle East, incorporating both "inner" Persia, i.e., the territory within the modern boundaries, and the areas of influence of "outer" Persia, with its "high places," such as Nemrut Dag, Palmyra and Hatra. Consequently, in addition to strictly Persian sites, the book also contemplates monuments built in Mesopotamia, eastern Anatolia and along the Upper Euphrates, without forgoing incursions into the eastern kingdoms, in the vicinity of the Indus River."--BOOK JACKET.Stierlin, Henri is the author of 'Splendors of Ancient Persia ', published 2006 under ISBN 9788854401464 and ISBN 8854401463.
