"Tadmor: A Glimpse into the Ancient Splendor of Palmyra" Step back in time to the enchanting city of Tadmor, nestled in the Homs Governate of Syria. Known as Palmyra, this once-thriving oasis was a hub of civilization and trade during its heyday. Marvel at the remnants of history as you explore the ruins that have withstood centuries of turmoil. The Funerary Temple and Arab Citadel stand tall, whispering tales from a bygone era. Imagine Julius Terentius performing a sacrificial ritual here in A. D. 239, his presence immortalized through paint on plaster. The majestic Pillars of the Great Colonnade stretch into the sky, bearing witness to countless footsteps that once walked these ancient streets. Wander through Palmyra's vast ruins and feel their grandeur surround you. Discover the awe-inspiring Temple of Bel (Baal), an architectural masterpiece dedicated to worship and spirituality. Stand before Roman sarcophagi depicting reclining figures on couches, reminding us of life's fleeting nature. Through doorways framed by time-worn stones, catch glimpses of an oasis beyond - a serene reminder amidst this arid landscape. Behold the Tetrapylon standing proudly against all odds, showcasing Palmyra's resilience. Transport yourself back to 1875 with an albumen print capturing a view along the Grand Colonnade - imagine strolling alongside ancient Romans who once called this place home. In Qala at Ibn Maan Castle's distance lies another part of this magnificent colonnade; it beckons explorers seeking hidden treasures within its walls. A black-and-white photograph reveals a funerary stela discovered in Palmyra dating back to around 50 AD - an intriguing glimpse into individual lives lived long ago etched onto limestone forevermore. Finally, join artists on their pilgrimage through engraving as they capture the essence of this holy land.
