Shot on 8mm film in 1972, this archival footage captures a weathered stone plaque featuring ancient Egyptian-style relief carvings mounted on a building exterior in Iran. The scene, viewed through a dark frame, shows the detailed hieroglyphic figures and ceremonial motifs on the aged stone slab, set against a sunlit, sandy-colored wall. The final frame reveals a sweeping aerial view of an ancient archaeological site with geometric ruins and surrounding desert landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky. The warm, faded color palette and film grain evoke a nostalgic, documentary feel.
