coghazanbil persian ziggurat,near shush/susa,khuzestan and her ziggurats

ziggurats of 7000 years in sialk of kashan

I AM FROM KASHAN

MY LINEAGE MIGHT BE

IN A PLANT IN INDIA

IN POTTERY FROM EARTH OF SIALK

MY LINEAGE  MIGHT BE

A PROSTITUTE IN THE CITY OF BUKHARA

--SOHRAB SEPEHRI

 when the dusk appeared
 in the alleys of Shush
we raised
to the lofty valley of towers
and ziggurats 
to reach the sun ...
-F.S.,NOSTALGIC SUSA,1369/1990

And so I scaled the ladder of the earth

amid the atrocious maze of lost jungles

up to you Macchu Picchu

High citadel of terracd stones

a long last the dwelling of him whom the earth

did not conceal in its slumbering vestments

.....

And the air flowed with orange blossom

fingers over all the sleeping

a thousand years of air,months,weeks of air

of blue wind,of iron cordillera

like gentle hurricanes of footsteps

polishing the solitary precinct of stone.

inca's macchu picchu/old peak and her tower of sun

never been conquisted by blind conquistadors

but by words of Pablo Neruda,in

 THE HEIGHTS OF MACCHU PICCHU

eiffle tower in a sunny night

in the city of light.

LIGHT IS A REACH,

DAYS AND NIGHTS

WHEN LEARNING PARIS

Math in an absurd mind and imagination is a principle for memory and learning,as well as creativity and arts:

visual and words.Perry translated these principles of mathematics,geometry and science into arts,and his sculpture,titled continuum,in front of Smithsonian's Air and Space museum in Washington,D.C.

demonstrates it.

Belarussian Antoine Pevsner too was thriving to gather fragments of eternity in one present.

He was born 30 Jan 1884 in Orel and died 12 April 1963,and once joked:

Eiffle was the first constructivist.

But this was no joke,as

Persians 7000 years ago built ziggurats in Choghazanbil ,near shush/susa,and in Sialk,near present day kashan

with pyramids,cones,cylinders,...

like Cezanne,Picasso,Braque,Kandinsky,Mondrian and others,

to reach air and space,

and the sun as well.

(not to mention lady moon!)

Babylonian and Sumerian's architects of ziggurats also built their towers thousands of years ago

before tower of sun in Macchu Picchu,Peru and modern time towers around the world.

Perry,Pevsner,Eiffle and other artists,sculptors ,architects and engineers constructed

a new universal vision and imagination,

and a history ago: Persians,Babylonians,Sumerians and other cultures and civilizations of Mesopotomia/MIANRUD structured the foundtion af creativity and imagination

to leave them for us.

These days we think more of Egyptians and their uprising.

their uprising in history materialized in their Pyramids,

another pieces of art and architecture

of five millennium ago

to reach air and space,and the sun

We do not overlook that

They are not lofty of glameur and grandeur

or lovely romance

but they are metapkors!
