Virtual Travel: Iran by Barry Pell
Iran—Persian Glory and Islamic Revolution Thursday, March 21 | 1:30pm Zoom & Clark Room With a history dating 2,500 years, the Persian Empire was the largest of ancient times, extending from Central Asia to north Africa.

Iran’s recent history is marked by religious rule following the 1979 Islamic revolution. Barry Pell traveled nearly 4,000 miles through the country’s magnificent landscape, visiting historic cities and monuments, and meeting with Iranian people who openly shared opinions about their lives and relations with America.

Virtual Travel: Iran by Barry Pell
Thursday Mar 21, 2024 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM
Iran—Persian Glory and Islamic Revolution
Thursday, March 21 | 1:30pm
Zoom & Clark Room
With a history dating 2,500 years, the Persian Empire was the largest of ancient times, extending from Central Asia to north Africa. The legacy of this power and wealth is manifest in the stunning tiled architecture of mosques and secular mansions, the distinctively spiced cuisine, the arts and crafts including arguably the world’s most beautiful rugs, and the diverse people who comprised the Empire as invaders or subjects. Iran’s recent history is marked by religious rule following the 1979 Islamic revolution. Barry Pell traveled nearly 4,000 miles through the country’s magnificent landscape, visiting historic cities and monuments, and meeting with Iranian people who openly shared opinions about their lives and relations with America. This program will be accompanied by Mr. Pell’s photography. Register by March 20 at coahs@carlislema.gov or call 978-371-2895
