The city of Persepolis was founded in 518 BC by Darius I. It was the capital city of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. It is located at the junction of the Pulvār and Kor rivers in what is today southwestern Iran. Persepolis was invaded by the army of Alexander the Great in 330 BC. Soon after, the city’s wooden buildings were destroyed by a fire -- likely set by Alexander’s troops. Built and decorated in the stunning Mesopotamian style, the stone structures that remain today are remarkably well preserved. Middle School Fiction

The Great Wall is actually a series of fortifications, including barracks, watch-towers, beacon- towers, and fortresses. Walls were built to help protect people from invaders from the north, including the Xiongnu, Mongols and Huns. Some sections are 2200 years old. It was the first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang (ruled 220-208 BC,) who ordered that the sections be joined. The wall does not form a straight line. It bends and curves over 13,000 miles in total from Shanhai Pass in the east to Jiayu Pass in the west. High School Fiction

The Bagan Archaeological District covers a 26 mile stretch along the Irrawaddy river in northern Myanmar. Bagan is liberally sprinkled with 2200 Buddhist temples, stupas and pagodas. It is believed that in its heyday in the 12th century, this capital city of the Pagan Empire had over 10, 000 religious structures. Time and the earthquakes that plague the region have severely reduced that number. The 2016 earthquake alone severely damaged approximately 400 of the structures. Middle School Biography

The Angkor Archaeological Park covers an area of over 400 square kilometers. It contains the stunning ruins of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, dating from the 9th to 15th centuries. The park’s most famous structure is Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple believed to be the world’s largest religious building. It is richly decorated in thousands of carvings and dramatically overgrown with the roots of giant trees. The construction is said to have involved 300,000 workers and 6000 elephants.

The island of Itsukushima, in the Seto inland sea in Japan, has been a holy place for the Shinto religion since the 6th century. The Shinto shrine on the island was constructed in the 12th century. Taking full advantage of its stunning surroundings, the shrine appears to float on the water. The architecture plays with the contrast between the hard lines and strong colors of the man-made structure and the graceful beauty of the natural setting of water, mountains and sky.

The island of Rapa Nui, Chile, better known as Easter Island, is believed to have first been settled in approximately 300 A.D. The Polynesian people who inhabited Rapa Nui developed a unique culture. Between the 10th and 16th centuries, these people carved close to 1,000 moai -- giant stone statues -- some almost 30 feet tall and weighing up to 80 tons. The first known Europeans to visit the island were Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen and his crew, who arrived on Easter Day, 1722. UNESCO World Heritage Sites
