Darius III alone shouldn't be blamed for the downfall of the Persian Empire. We must consider the policies of his predecessors. After Xerxes's death, mercenaries formed almost 40% of the Persian army. Those mercs were unreliable in times of crises. Development of military equipment, strategies and tactics was neglected. The empire was also in an awkward economic situation, thanks to the revolts in some of it's controlled territories. All these factors paved the way for the Alexandrian invasion.

@Abasss23 He destroyed the first Persian empire, but Persia came back even stonger under Parthians and Sassanids. No body was able to destroy persia, not even islam nor Genghis khan. Persia is alive and will be alive.
@jungleman68 Lol, enlighten us, I'm not really sure if I understand?

@jungleman68 Their military was actually quite advanced, due mainly to its extreme mobility. There was a reason that the Persian empire rose in the first place, it had a great and well led army. Subsequent "Persian" armies under the Parthians, the Sassanids, and beyond were also very successful in the long run...
@ejdeha995 mongols sized persia after they took over large parts of china,compleatly once and for all ending the greatness persia had been reessembled tooi belive they did this in the 13th centuary but islam had weakend it since the 7th centuary along with crusades,now mr.ahimidejihad has left an islamis type of communism.
@ejdeha995 Islam didn't come to the great Persian Empire to destroy it. Islam is only a religion, but some people used Islam for their personal interests. The Persian nation is still one of the most civilized nation in the earth.

I always did like this series on the history channel. Sadly it was limited to a mere ten or so episodes. Thanks for uploading it. I havent seen this in some time.
Hey now, I am a "westerner". A proud Italians, a proud son of Rome. BUT I do take interest in eastern culture too. So dont get the idea that all westerners hate easterners, their history/culture, or ways. I always said that I liked the Persian Empire better than the greek empire!
@Peidmonte89 Now, let me tell you why we, the Greeks, are superior towards the Persians.Of course thry were not stupid.They developed art, architecture etc.BUT!Greeks were able to control their feelings.Their anger, their passions, something Persians didn;t do.And i would also like to say that Greece as not an empire.It was separated in city-states as you know.The title "imperator" is Latin.
@nimkal Whatch your mouth gypsie barbarian savage.We control our reactions, that's why we didn't have the Sartans cut the head of your "soldiers".Look who is talking about gays.The ones who use archers to kill enemies that do not have any.We laugh at your Persian hordes.The Spartans didn't have archers because they were real fighters.
The unique thing about Persians is they were never colonized & fully defeated. Even after Alexander & the defeat of Achaemenids they raised again only under a different family (Dynasty). The Parthians, Sassanids & all the ones coming in future were all Persians. In fact Persia was renamed to Iran in 1935 (One of stupidest moves in the history by the way).
Just like the Achaemenids that were ended by the Greeks, the Sassanids were ended by the Byzantine Greeks, the arabs finished them off and Persia was conquered by the sword of Islam a decade after. Persia vs Greece in war has the usual outcome of a Greek victory. Ever notice that?
@NicephorusAetius - yes barbarians usually do conquer the civilized, then become civil themselves. Look at the Mongolians and their history. :) Ever notice that?
Byzantine empire was a Roman empire during the Sassanids era so plz go and read history and see that Persia actually kicked Byzantine's empire's ass and made their emperor to kneel down before the Persian king. Besides, if u really believe Herodotus's accounts of the Persian wars, then u should be extremly naive. he says Persians were in millions and Greeks in hundreds, yet greeks won...I mean even 1 million of monekys would win over hundreds of men.
@Alanadoredor No one with a mind believes any of Herodotus' ridiculous figures, for various reasons. The Greeks were in the tens of thousands, not hundreds. At Thermopylae alone there were anywhere from 7 to 10 thousand Greeks guarding that narrow pass. The Greeks still lost...
Nope Byzantium did not end the Sassanid dynasty. At the time of the Arab invasions, Byzantium and Sassanid had basically returned to their borders before the war. Sassanids had taken Syria but the Eastern Roman Empire reclaimed them and then the Arabs began invading.
Roman empire HAD Greece and thus also it's culture.
In the eastern part of the Roman empire the official language was Greek. All the aristocrats in Rome talked mostly Greek because they thought that Latin was too low.
All I know is that in a full out battle between Rome and Parthia, Rome would win. However weakening it badly, so it wouldn't be worth it.
Better army? That's a big assumption you make there. Sure Romans feared the Parthian army, but Parthians also feared the Roman army.
This simply does not make that much sense. It is full of errors, misunderstandings, and overly simplistic views of the time period. Seriously, doesnt make much sense.
@NormanLowell Yeaaaa that'll do a lot of good, legalize marijuana in the whole of europe, with a racist political leader that describes Hitler as a hero and believes that the Holocaust never happened...hmmmmmm
But Hitler WAS a Hero. To 99.9999 of the German People. To millions of other Europeans, Latin Americans, etc., And the HolyHoax never happened - it is the biggest lie since the virgin mary. A lie invented by a marauding tribe of murderers, swindlers, whose 4,000 year history is a chronicle of lies and deceit.
Persopolis was burnet because the Greeks didn't find the Gold that Dariush the 3rd had indicated in his letter to Alexander.
Alexander was invited to Persia to help the people against corruption & opperession of the last kings.
Shahname or book of kings by the epic poet Ferdosi has about 2600 verses in praise of Alexander.
Dariush 3rd's court was a place of bribray & mischief. Persian Empire collapsed because of corruption at the end. Although sad, some Iranians name their kids, eskandar
btw way perusperiaate5, persia did last for 2700 years. it continues as this country called Iran. i dont know if u've never heard of it before, or if ur just retarded, but Iran is still called by Persia by some ppl
This series is pretty tacky and often very wrong. Any way how do they justify 'an empire that lasted 2700 years'? The Achaemenid empire lasted only 180 years. The Medes, who were Iranian Indo-Europeans, ruled before that; however, they were not Persians. Their empire was only in Asia and lasted a little over 100 years. The Elamites ruled in parts of today's Iran before the Persians. Yet the Elamites were not even Indo-European.
Many people, including myself ,know very little about the history of that part of the world, so i think that this documentary is good in that it outlines the subject. But you are right that it is misleading in as much as it ends with Alexander.
This documentary is showing the fall of this particular dynasty. Alexander ended that dynasty. It even says he joined the empires, not destoryed or created.
Ok, it's a logical, and dramatic, place to end the story but it makes it look like Helenic conquest was somehow lasting, which i believe was far from the case. I think it's a typical example of such short docus having to over simplify and dramatise events.
Yes, that's true, and in it's way it is a natural place to finish. Shame these documentaries are so short, otherwise they would have time to talk about what came after.
Yes, i agree about that. In the end these are all fascinating documentaries, and give a good start to people who maybe want to learn more, thanks go to the poster.
The Tomb of Mausolus, Mausoleum of Mausolus or Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (in Greek, Μαυσωλεῖον της Ἁλικαρνασσοῦ) was a tomb built between 353 and 350 BC at Halicarnassus (present Bodrum, Turkey) for Mausolus, a Greek satrap in the Persian Empire, and Artemisia II of Caria, his wife and sister. The structure was designed by the Greek architects Satyros and Pythis.
It stood approximately 45 meters (135 ft) in height, and each of the four sides was adorned with sculptural reliefs created by each one of four Greek sculptors — Leochares, Bryaxis, Scopas of Paros and Timotheus. The finished structure was considered to be such an aesthetic triumph that Antipater of Sidon identified it as one of his Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
u dare insult the greatest person to ever live Tristan129. U will die a horrible death. If it wasent for alexander the west would of never of become rich nor the east ever become educated. Its not his fault that the aftermath of his death lead to the down fall of the middle east into the backward water it is today. If things would of happened more possitive the middle east would be the most advance in the known world.
(1) While I understand the patriotic feelings of my Persian brothers, I ask you to take a look at the challenges our nation is facing today. Did you know the Islamic Republic has had plans, for years now, to build a dam in Shiraz which would engulf the tomb of Cyrus under water for ever? As if in their hatred, they want to erase all of our Persian history. At the very least, the Greeks & the Italians dont have these challenges before them where their nations are at the mercy of those who
@k1pourang I don't think that the Iranian government would consider the dam if they had a sufficient tourism industry. The fleeting tourism in Iran probably has something to do with the oppressive nature of it, few women like to go to a place where they have to wear a veil.
(2)mercy of those who want to eradicate their legacies & turn them into Arab states. When I see Greeks or Italians, I see people who are uniquely tied to us. Our nations helped give rise to modern human civilization & we should respect & acknowledge one-another instead of try to prove who was better than the other some 25 centuries ago. High marks to the History channel for Engineering an Empire I enjoyed all of them especially the Roman, Greek, and of course, my beloved Persian series.
Well, from what I heard from the Persians themself, they never liked Alexander. Mostly because he destoryed Persepolis and its library. Meaning eredicating their national and literatural identity.
If I hear that from MANY of them, I must come to conlcusion there is nothing great in Alexander. You also saw his history. He enslaved people just out of arbitrary. And he meant he was like Kyros and Darius.
A lowsy arrogant brat idealized by the West. Nothing more. And nothing less...wait,maybe less
hahaha, are you that stupid? Learning history is not just about reading from some books.The Greek records are really biased towards Alex, and we have no Persian records which stated they approved him.
I only accepted one opinion of the ''mob'' because it gives me a different perspective towards the biased teachings in school about Greek history. Have not you learned about Diadochi empires how the population fought for freedom right after his death? You have to learn the opinions of others too.
After the revolution in Iran, something exactly opposite than before happened. Before the great kings were rightfully glorified but because this Islamic government was against Kingdoms, in schools they taught about them negatively. That is what effects the different opinions.
Dictatorship is a secular form of government. Theocarcy is a religious form of government. The Iranian Regime is similar to the Holy Roman Empire and the Papal States. Or Teutonic State of Prussia.
I don't understand all the hate and violence here between people posting most of these messages. Didn't you listen to the videos and the massages they had? Listen again. I guess people back then had less hate in them than they do now!! It is not about one nation being the best, the greatest or superior; it is all about those who choose to be human and those who choose to be less!! Not about race, rather the ideal ideas! So, dear viewers, be nice to each other!! {:-)
@wwbehrouz its because of some jealous ppl posting hateful ignorant posts on this video, mostly arabs , I think you should type "NO Arabs allowed "on all your video descriptions.lol
as th creaters of all these videos said if u noticed at the first part , all the other empires including eygept were inspired by Persian Empire !!! u started building and etc 2000 yrs later !!! even if better its the matter of improve of human knowledge ....as we can say now USA is better in comparisam with that...funny coparring !!! isnt it that ??? ;-)
The same Egyptian Empire that enslaved Jews for them to build the Pyramids? I will agree, probably the most magnificent and unbelievable sculptures in the world though.
we learn alot from the history that how the powers felt down and new powers arose, so human being should learn how to be united and don't let the politician enslave them.
Interesting,informative and not on the level of three year-olds!...nice...but why do all youtube comment exchanges descend to backbiting,bitching and demonstrations of intolerance? Irritating.
Man, if you all can just hear yourselves calling each other names. Racism started when man learnt how to politik. They Greeks (they were from different city states remember) were probably the best example as their racism were well documented.
boy, americans have taken a lot from the ancient empires in engineering...roman columns of the white house, the olympiad zeus inspired lincoln memorial, the egyptian oblesix washington monument,...and now the persian style u.s. grant memorial...there are probably tons more...other than the vegas strip, of course :P
All Western countries have borrowed from these civilizations in their architecture and engineering, not just the U.S. Each has also created their own style and added unique contributions.
NYcyclingFan: Not true. The Romans revolutionized achetecture. They invented fusion, by combining elements from all existing styles to create something that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Their roads are still in working condition after thousands of years, and their aqueducts would be too if the Vandals hadn't sabotaged them. The Greeks invented rationalism, and were the first to create naturalistic representations of the human form.
I have no reason to say I am something that I am not, but you need a life I think you are black and you dont want to be, just remember you cant be us go help you own people and stop trying to be something you cant be wannabe
Anyway, in light of the usual stupidity displayed by Youtubers (whose collective IQ nowhere near surpasses that of a beauty pageant contestant) and my frustration with them, I have to thank the person who uploaded these videos. Thanks man.
let people believe what they want...on youtube you are never right..someone always thinks they know more than you do and what you say is always wrong..just watch
I am a Persian, and as a Persian, one cannot say fuck Alexander, I give him credit for conquering Persians, however, he comes no where close to the brains of the Persians before him.
Persian Kings had an army of advisers for every matter. Alexander devised strategies himself, changed them while fighting in the battle himself, decided where and how to build cities himself, controlled effectively a huge empire of so different people planning diplomacy himself, made speeches that made people fight for him for 10 straight years on the fly, invented dozens of military techniques still used today, himself. You're right... he comes nowhere close to the brains of the Persians!!
U think Alexander had no advice? I think u need to think really hard about this. When Cyrus was entering to take over babylon, babylonians were joining him while Cyrus was making his route to the Babylonian throne. Cyrus was an all rounded leader. I have not heard of any greatness to the extent a Persian King, such as Cyrus, when it comes to non-military aspects. You only pointed out his military qualities. I am not discrediting Alexander, I just feel Persians had more to offer during that era.
Alexander's advisers were mainly 5-6 of his childhood friends. He usually ignored them. If you want to compare Eras then the only king you can compare to Alexander is Darius. Undoubtedly most of Alexander's qualities were of military nature and certainly Cyrus had extraordinary diplomacy skills, but why should one skill be greater than the other? They were bot Great kings! Alexander just has the unique privilege of fighting over 100 battles and not loosing a single one! That proves a great mind.
I believe u are referring to Darius the 3rd, if I am not correct, however, Era includes more than just that Darius. I think that darius was the least brightest of all. I was referring to the kings prior to him.
Alexander the Great diddn't create a mighty empire at all.
When the empire was ultimately crumbling he came in, conquered the states one by one, and claimed them as his own.
No doubt, that required great military genius, but think how much more genius it would have required for the Persians to not only conquer the states in the first place but engineer and create rule of law in the empire starting from scratch.
Who says that Persia was crumbling at the time of Alexander??? With your logic, the Romans also did not create a great empire because they didn't conquer cavemen! Alexander created an empire that functioned perfectly as long as he was alive, and he did that in only 7 years starting at the age of 20! To bad he didn't have to discover everything, from lighting fire to the atomic bomb, himself, in order for you to appreciate him!
you need to read some more he got poisoned and our culture was the culture that Alexander wanted to join if the greeks defeated us there culture would of been the main culture in prsia but we had a biger influence on them culturally so the dominant culture is the winer get your shit right
a defeat doesn't mean a replacement of culture just means the Perisans were defeated and was no longer a major power anymore. As far as Alexander's death goes, I read more on that and no one really knows historians argue on it so we don't know if was killed unless you were there maybe you could say more, to deny defeat of the Persian Empire you would deny everything Alexander did against including the 300 spartans ;) WE ARE SPARTA!!!!! Persians can't mess man lol
wow get real spartans is not even reall the reall ones got fucked up by the persians what you think every move you see is reall LOL and Alexander was a persian wannabe he only had persian wives he wanted to be as far as he can from greeks and the greek culture
Actually no, I know the movie was fictional but in real life the Spartans were far tougher than that. A small greek army including 300 spartans held off and killed far more persians, that's the reality of it.
I don't know what's your problem though, you must not like defeat, you aren't even an original persian lol your just a mixed version of what but the real thing is either no longer here or a small population of pure blood persians are around somewhere but you ain't it so chill
get real most iranians are reall persians and the ones that are not they know it and me i am a real pure blooded persian stargate out of the pars
but as for greeks they are not pure at all they are all mixed up with roman blood you just show your jealousy and i know you wish you were one of us but no you cant fool go and dream on

@Peidmonte89 Now, let me tell you why we, the Greeks, are superior towards the Persians.Of course thry were not stupid.They developed art, architecture etc.BUT!Greeks were able to control their feelings.Their anger, their passions, something Persians didn;t do.And i would also like to say that Greece as not an empire.It was separated in city-states as you know.The title "imperator" is Latin.

The unique thing about Persians is they were never colonized & fully defeated. Even after Alexander & the defeat of Achaemenids they raised again only under a different family (Dynasty). The Parthians, Sassanids & all the ones coming in future were all Persians. In fact Persia was renamed to Iran in 1935 (One of stupidest moves in the history by the way).
DinoCorleone 2 years ago
Just like the Achaemenids that were ended by the Greeks, the Sassanids were ended by the Byzantine Greeks, the arabs finished them off and Persia was conquered by the sword of Islam a decade after. Persia vs Greece in war has the usual outcome of a Greek victory. Ever notice that?

Byzantine empire was a Roman empire during the Sassanids era so plz go and read history and see that Persia actually kicked Byzantine's empire's ass and made their emperor to kneel down before the Persian king. Besides, if u really believe Herodotus's accounts of the Persian wars, then u should be extremly naive. he says Persians were in millions and Greeks in hundreds, yet greeks won...I mean even 1 million of monekys would win over hundreds of men.

@Alanadoredor No one with a mind believes any of Herodotus' ridiculous figures, for various reasons. The Greeks were in the tens of thousands, not hundreds. At Thermopylae alone there were anywhere from 7 to 10 thousand Greeks guarding that narrow pass. The Greeks still lost...

Nope Byzantium did not end the Sassanid dynasty. At the time of the Arab invasions, Byzantium and Sassanid had basically returned to their borders before the war. Sassanids had taken Syria but the Eastern Roman Empire reclaimed them and then the Arabs began invading.

European's true domination only began in the 18th-19th century till the 20th century(lets say it went down hill after WW II)
No one is saying Europe dominated all the time. No one has ever dominated as much as the Europeans have however.
Greece and Rome were also super powers of course, but they also had super power enemies like Persia and Parthia(which actually is Persia, but w/e)
During the 15th-18th century the Ottoman empire was also equal to European super powers.

Roman empire HAD Greece and thus also it's culture.
In the eastern part of the Roman empire the official language was Greek. All the aristocrats in Rome talked mostly Greek because they thought that Latin was too low.
All I know is that in a full out battle between Rome and Parthia, Rome would win. However weakening it badly, so it wouldn't be worth it.
Better army? That's a big assumption you make there. Sure Romans feared the Parthian army, but Parthians also feared the Roman army.

Persopolis was burnet because the Greeks didn't find the Gold that Dariush the 3rd had indicated in his letter to Alexander.
Alexander was invited to Persia to help the people against corruption & opperession of the last kings.
Shahname or book of kings by the epic poet Ferdosi has about 2600 verses in praise of Alexander.
Dariush 3rd's court was a place of bribray & mischief. Persian Empire collapsed because of corruption at the end. Although sad, some Iranians name their kids, eskandar

This series is pretty tacky and often very wrong. Any way how do they justify 'an empire that lasted 2700 years'? The Achaemenid empire lasted only 180 years. The Medes, who were Iranian Indo-Europeans, ruled before that; however, they were not Persians. Their empire was only in Asia and lasted a little over 100 years. The Elamites ruled in parts of today's Iran before the Persians. Yet the Elamites were not even Indo-European.

The Mausoleum in Halicarnassus (one of the 7 wonders of the Ancient World) was designed by Greek architects: Satyros and Pythis.

Ok, it's a logical, and dramatic, place to end the story but it makes it look like Helenic conquest was somehow lasting, which i believe was far from the case. I think it's a typical example of such short docus having to over simplify and dramatise events.

The Tomb of Mausolus, Mausoleum of Mausolus or Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (in Greek, Μαυσωλεῖον της Ἁλικαρνασσοῦ) was a tomb built between 353 and 350 BC at Halicarnassus (present Bodrum, Turkey) for Mausolus, a Greek satrap in the Persian Empire, and Artemisia II of Caria, his wife and sister. The structure was designed by the Greek architects Satyros and Pythis.

It stood approximately 45 meters (135 ft) in height, and each of the four sides was adorned with sculptural reliefs created by each one of four Greek sculptors — Leochares, Bryaxis, Scopas of Paros and Timotheus. The finished structure was considered to be such an aesthetic triumph that Antipater of Sidon identified it as one of his Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Well, from what I heard from the Persians themself, they never liked Alexander. Mostly because he destoryed Persepolis and its library. Meaning eredicating their national and literatural identity.
If I hear that from MANY of them, I must come to conlcusion there is nothing great in Alexander. You also saw his history. He enslaved people just out of arbitrary. And he meant he was like Kyros and Darius.

Persian Kings had an army of advisers for every matter. Alexander devised strategies himself, changed them while fighting in the battle himself, decided where and how to build cities himself, controlled effectively a huge empire of so different people planning diplomacy himself, made speeches that made people fight for him for 10 straight years on the fly, invented dozens of military techniques still used today, himself. You're right... he comes nowhere close to the brains of the Persians!!
Khaos768 3 years ago
U think Alexander had no advice? I think u need to think really hard about this. When Cyrus was entering to take over babylon, babylonians were joining him while Cyrus was making his route to the Babylonian throne. Cyrus was an all rounded leader. I have not heard of any greatness to the extent a Persian King, such as Cyrus, when it comes to non-military aspects. You only pointed out his military qualities. I am not discrediting Alexander, I just feel Persians had more to offer during that era.
sxypursian 3 years ago
Alexander's advisers were mainly 5-6 of his childhood friends. He usually ignored them. If you want to compare Eras then the only king you can compare to Alexander is Darius. Undoubtedly most of Alexander's qualities were of military nature and certainly Cyrus had extraordinary diplomacy skills, but why should one skill be greater than the other? They were bot Great kings! Alexander just has the unique privilege of fighting over 100 battles and not loosing a single one! That proves a great mind.

I believe u are referring to Darius the 3rd, if I am not correct, however, Era includes more than just that Darius. I think that darius was the least brightest of all. I was referring to the kings prior to him.

Alexander the Great diddn't create a mighty empire at all.
When the empire was ultimately crumbling he came in, conquered the states one by one, and claimed them as his own.
No doubt, that required great military genius, but think how much more genius it would have required for the Persians to not only conquer the states in the first place but engineer and create rule of law in the empire starting from scratch.
Kurushimus 3 years ago
Who says that Persia was crumbling at the time of Alexander??? With your logic, the Romans also did not create a great empire because they didn't conquer cavemen! Alexander created an empire that functioned perfectly as long as he was alive, and he did that in only 7 years starting at the age of 20! To bad he didn't have to discover everything, from lighting fire to the atomic bomb, himself, in order for you to appreciate him!
