Tadmor -
Palmyra
And Solomon built Tadmor in the wilderness,
and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
2 Chronicles
8:4
Palmyra is an ancient city of central Syria,
located in an oasis 130 miles (210 km) NE of Damascus. Once dubbed the "Bride of the
Desert," Palmyra was a vital stop for caravans crossing the Syrian desert.
Palmyra was mentioned in the Old Testament as being fortified by Solomon and it
flourished in Roman times. The Greek
name for the city, Palmyra is a translation of its original Aramaic name,
Tadmor, which means 'palm tree'. Tadmor
is mentioned in the Bible (2 Chronicles 8:4) as a desert city that was
fortified by King Solomon.
The Monumental Arch, also called
the Arch of Triumph (Arabic: قوس النصر) or the Arch of
Septimius Severus, was a Roman ornamental archway in Palmyra, Syria. It was
built in the 3rd century during the reign of emperor Septimius Severus. The Arch linked the main street of
the Colonnade and
the Temple
of Bel.

An oasis in the Syrian desert, north-east of Damascus, Palmyra contains the monumental ruins of a great city that was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world. From the 1st to the 2nd century, the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilizations, married Graeco-Roman techniques with local traditions and Persian influences.

We’ve
got the technology to record, share and recreate objects at the click of a
mouse, so why are we still filling huge buildings with priceless artefacts?
For
an idea of how we can rethink museums, look to Syria. In 2016, the Institute of
Digital Archeology created a scaled replica of the 2,000-year-old Palmyra Arch of
Triumph,
Think of a museum this way and in
some circumstances even replicas can
develop their own auras. The Palmyra Arch of Triumph started out being seen as a
copy, but since being exhibited in public it has become a monument in its own
right. It has taken on its own significance.

Call it Palmyra’: Kadyrov says new missile
should be named in honor of Russian heroism in Syria
Published time: 2 Mar,
2018 12:42 - Edited time: 14 Aug, 2018 12:38
The head of the
Chechen Republic has proposed to name the newest Russian cruise missile
Palmyra, to honor Russian servicemen who fought international terrorism in
Syria.
“The name of the city
of Palmyra can be translated as ‘miracle’. Russia’s victory in Palmyra has
become a turning point in the fight against Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS].
Besides, our president is from St. Petersburg, the city that is
often called the northern Palmyra. In my view, the name ‘Palmyra’
for this missile recalls the names of everyone who selflessly fought evil,”
Ramzan Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram blog.
St. Petersburg is often called the Northern capital of Russia, the Palmyra of
the North, or the Northern Venice.
http://mir-travel.com/en/destinations/russia/saint-petersburg/
Since the 18th century St. Petersburg has
often been compared to the ancient Syrian city, deserving perhaps the
unofficial title of “Palmyra of the North”. Both cities were funded in
inhospitable, harsh settings and they both became centers of great beauty and
cultural flourish. Parallelisms were drawn between Empress Catherine the Great
and the queen of Palmyra, Zenobia, both well-known for their enlightened
governance. http://www.prospektmag.com/2016/04/palmyra-of-the-north-resurrects-its-ancient-counterpart/

Ceiling of the Temple of Bel, Palmyra
The monumental
temple dedicated to Bel, the main deity of Palmyra, was built inside a large,
roughly square enclosure, with sides nearly 200 m long. It was dedicated on 6
Nisan (April) 32 CE, a date likely chosen to commemorate the victory of the
Babylonian god Marduk over Tiamat, the embodiment of chaos.
In the monolith’s
central circle is depicted the god Bel, Lord of the skies who governs the
motion of the stars. He is surrounded by six busts, personifications of the six
planets known at the time — Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury and
Moon — and by a band with the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
The exhibition
will be held in Rome starting from November 29th until December 1st, 2017, with the
participation of 135 countries.

Paris Peace Conference opened on 18
January 1919. This date was symbolic, as it was the anniversary of the
proclamation of William I as German Emperor in 1871, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles,
shortly before the end of the Siege of Paris. The League
of Nations was founded as a result. It was the first worldwide
intergovernmental organisation whose principal mission was to maintain world peace. The
League lasted for 26 years; the United Nations (UN) replaced it. The Palmyra Arch replica was showcased at the
Geneva UNOG site.
