Great to see this old footage. Damn shame the ruins were destroyed. Such wonders in this great world of ours.
Palmyra's ruins are not completely destroyed (& are currently being restored; such as the "temple of bel")..
@@lucrativelyrics8131 ofc they'd restore that.
@@Nozylatten yes ofcourse they would it is our heritage
@@lucrativelyrics8131 They should completely rebuild it and have it ready for worship once again to followers of that god
The city entered the historical record during the Bronze Age around 2000 BC, when Puzur-Ishtar the Tadmorean (Palmyrene) agreed to a contract at an Assyrian trading colony in Kultepe.[159] It was mentioned next in the Mari tablets as a stop for trade caravans and nomadic tribes, such as the Suteans,[58] and was conquered along with its region by Yahdun-Lim of Mari.[161] King Shamshi-Adad I of Assyria passed through the area on his way to the Mediterranean at the beginning of the 18th century BC;[162] by then, Palmyra was the easternmost point of the kingdom of Qatna,[163] and it was attacked by the Suteans who paralyzed the traffic along the trade routes.[164] Palmyra was mentioned in a 13th-century BC tablet discovered at Emar, which recorded the names of two "Tadmorean" witnesses.[58] At the beginning of the 11th century BC, King Tiglath-Pileser I of Assyria recorded his defeat of the "Arameans" of "Tadmar";[58] according to the king, Palmyra was part of the land of Amurru.[165] The city became the eastern border of Aram-Damascus which was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 732 BC
@ 6:39 What beautiful ceilings and were still intact at the time of filming amazing footage really
Here is a misconception
Palmyra is an aramean city NOT a roman city as the west trying to promote
You can just find out from the Palmyran alphabet on the columns & the ppl who lived in Palmyra had aramean roots & names like Zenoubia or ozaina
Or the temples which have aramaen God names like ( Baal , Bill-shmin , Nabo , Ishtar )
Additionally Palmyra fought Rome for centuries in the middle east
So it makes no sense to fight your siblings if they would be really siblings
Maybe there were some settlements before Rimans, but all those temples are built by Roman, stones are clearly shaped with the same tools used all over the Roman Empire and in same style.
The narrator is talking about Palmyra while showing the pictures of Baalbek. On top of that, he is attributing it to king salomon. Total ignorance can be really hilarious :))
Palmyra and Baalbek....so calm down...but your right on the rest.
1930s?
It was made 82 years ago, maybe we can cut them some slack on not hewing to modern scholarship.
@@morelcultivation9339 How many languages can speak and write down?
Typical English speakers!
You can speak one language, yet expect the rest of the world to master English.
Ignorance and arrogance.
I speak 5 languages.
Ce reportage est davantage qu'un rêve, il réussit à nous faire voir une sublime remontée dans les temps anciens.
Back in that time, they had no clue about megalithic monuments and their importance in history.....
Beautiful water and green.
Beautiful images !!!
Most (if not all) of the images of the ruins are from Baalbek in Lebanon.
👍Thanks for this Video
Britain is to blame for all the trouble we have in the middle east.
@Alex Blame Germany then:)

Palmyra and Baalbek....so calm down

It's a temple like everything else
Therefore with joy they draw water out of the wells of their ancestors . The well for the water that brings life, kinda like an ATM machine even the animals can draw from the 🏧 machine . That's pretty cool .I read another cool story . The woman at the well .in that story , she thought the man she met at the well ,? Was at the wrong ATM . She said ! You bank with Jacob . Only to find out the man was an undercover Boss lol , not only that the man knew her dirty little secrets .she didn't know whether he was the CIA, MI5 FBI or whether she was just been catfshed . Read the story in the bible KJV . I just added my own interpretation Aotearoa NZ Maori ♥️♥️ mean
