Giant 3D-printed replica of Palmyra Arch will be installed in London and New York
Located north-east of Damascus, the Palmyra Arch was an entryway to the Temple of Bel, an ancient Syrian ruin that was destroyed in August by militants for the radical organisation known as the Islamic State, ISIS or Daesh.
The temple was situated within Palmyra, an important city in the ancient world. It sat on a trade route linking Persia, India and China.
"Palmyra was one of the most important cultural centres of the ancient world," said UNESCO. "From the first to the second century, the art and architecture of Palmyra, standing at the crossroads of several civilisations, married Graeco-Roman techniques with local traditions." In a column for Dezeen, architect Sam Jacob described the destruction of Palmyra's ruins as "an assault on the very idea of civilisation."
