I come from the oldest capital in the world: a land so deep in - TopicsExpress



          

I come from the oldest capital in the world: a land so deep in history, it appears across both factional and fictional accounts. Like an old skin, Damascus is shedding away the old homes of Damascus, letting go of them. You walk through those houses and you realize that they belong to an era of magic and beauty that is now gone; lost on us who remained. You walk through those houses, with the old telephones and the billion dusty books, with the covered furniture that only is uncovered for guests. The art of layers upon layers of stories: some are told, some are forgotten. I come from a land of storytellers: They like to share their lives and tell their pains; and their happiness. You dig deep enough, and you find the faces of their grandfathers, and those before them, and those before them; back seven thousand years ago. Aamer stumbled upon this awesome documentary about the beauty of Damascus old Houses, I was taken by the beauty of the storytellers in there. This is the soul of Damascus; its worthy watch. -English Subtitled.
