"Persepolis Recreated" or "شکوه تخت جمشيد" in Persian is a great documentary where the ashes and ruins of Persepolis come to life once more with the help of computer technology as one of the magnificent and glorious cities and capitals of the ancient civilizations. Built by the order of Darius the great and completed by Xerxes the Great (not the strange looking guy you see in the ridiculous movie 300), Persepolis , the richest city under the sun, was very regretfully burnt to the ground in the rages of a Macedonian known to the world as Alexander.

See Persepolis as it was 2500 years ago

Starting with the work of the German scholar Friedrich Krefter, who spend decades creating a model for a reconstructed Persepolis, film maker Farzin Rezaian and his team have produced Persepolis Recreated, a documentary that presents a virtual reconstruction of parts of the Persepolis palace complex. The film that includes commentaries by many of the leading authorities on Achaemenid architecture and history, brings to life and reveals the splendour of the Persepolitan palace complex before its destruction by Alexander.

This is a Must See documentary for everybody interested in the ancient civilizations and their history (funnily or rather stupidly enough you cannot find a lot of info easily on the first important civilization of the world as if it is ignored for some unknown (?!!) reasons !!! ) , the reconstructions are done in such a great magnificent manner that you go wowing! Highly recommended.
