Expeditions to Ancient Persia

Salam & welcome to the old mysterious & magnificent Persia!

In this workshop, we will travel back in time, when the Achaemenids and the Sasanians ruled over Persia, and will learn about their majestic architecture as we take a walk through each building! You heard it right! We will be using Google Earth to take us on an adventure into Old Persia, see the people and their surroundings and learn more about the rich architecture and culture of the time. We will be meeting once a week via Zoom, while using  Google Earth and additional educational videos. Join us for a memorable experience! We look forward to go on an expedition with you all!
