Art of Persia (2020)

Embark on a commendable journey of exploration to learn about the splendid art and culture with a history of 2000 and the oldest empire in the world. The land in the story has two names: Persia-ancient and mysterious, full of adventure, the powerful king built a large number of magnificent temples and palaces with unimaginable beauty, and Iran-proud, isolated and dismissive of outside interference. BBC Studios has been granted an unprecedented license to go deep into Iran to shoot to show the extraordinary history and civilization of this ancient country. From the labyrinth bazaar to Persepolis, the capital of the ancient Persian monarchs, to the temple of Vulcan, where the sacred flame has been burning for more than a thousand years, anchor and journalist Samilla Ahmed (Samira Ahmed) led the audience on this unique and unforgettable journey. In the three episodes, Samilla will reveal the important position of Persian civilization in history; in the process of ups and downs, we will further understand its glory and fall. During this journey, Samilla also made an important discovery: the Persians almost lost themselves for a time, and it was not until the emergence of a book that they were able to rediscover themselves and realize the restoration of Persian culture.

During this journey, Samilla also made an important discovery: the Persians were almost lost for a time, and it was not until the advent of a book that they were able to rediscover themselves and realize the revival of Persian culture, the Shahnameh. Fidosi's epic work, which gathered energy all his life, failed to win him the praise and wealth he expected, but spread long after his death-- the Book of Kings not only set off a tide of revival of Persian language and culture, but also became an important link to maintain Persian tradition and provide a firm foundation for the cultural identity of the Iranian people in the changes of dynasties and social changes that lasted for thousands of years.
