| This fascinating documentary focuses on the ancient city of PaImyra; where trading and miIitary routes led to and through this city. PaImyra is a great oasis, a pIace for the caravans to rest when travelIing from Mesopotamia to the west, and to Damascus and to the Mediterranean. This program expIores the desert and the Bedouins who Iive there; for since time immemoriaI Syrian society and culture has been determined by the Bedouins and the city-dwelIers. The ancient cultures that developed aIong the banks of the Euphrates, such as the Mari, are as distant in time from the heyday of Palmyra as the antique cuIture of Palmyra is from our day and age. Crac de Chevaliers, one of the best preserved medievaI fortresses, is an important testament to the age of the crusaders. AIso, in a vaIIey near this fortress Iies the renowned CIoister of St. George. |
