Persian Empire/Civilization Iran Inventions Darius The Great Cyrus The Great
The Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550--330 BCE), also known as the Persian Empire, was the successor state of the Median Empire, ruling over significant portions of what would become Greater Iran. The Persian and the Median Empire taken together are also known as the Medo-Persian Empire, which encompassed the combined territories of several earlier empires. At the height of its power, the empire encompassed approximately 8 million km2. The empire was forged by Cyrus the Great, and spanned three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. At its greatest extent, the empire included the territories of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the territories of northern India, parts of Central Asia, Asia Minor, Thrace and Macedonia, much of the Black Sea coastal regions, Iraq, northern Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and all significant population centers of ancient Egypt as far west as Libya. It is noted in western history as the foe of the Greek city states during the Greco-Persian Wars, for emancipation of slaves including the Jews from their Babylonian Babylonian captivity, and for instituting the usage of official languages throughout its territories. In universal history the role of the Persian empire founded by Cyrus the Great lies in their very successful model for centralized administration and a government working to the advantage and profit of all.
The Achaemenid Persian empire was invaded by Alexander III of Macedon, after which it collapsed and disintegrated in 330 BCE into what later became the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Seleucid Empire, in addition to other minor territories which gained independence after its collapse. Iranian rule was re-established in the region starting from the rise of Arsacids in middle of 3rd century BCE Engineering an Empire The Persians Cyrus Daryus Xerxes Spart Spartans 300 Iran Iranian Kings Hakhamaneshi Akamanchipersia civilization power iran persian aryan history empire achaemenid rome roman culture parthian persepolis cyrus

  • just a couple suggestions: less strident music and perhaps larger text or slower slide show. Some type of music that is easier on the ears so I can turn it up to hear what the speaker is saying without having to turn it down. Otherwise, this is a lot of very good information. thanks for you effort.

  • Its so sad to see the persians are still living in the past ITS 2011 AND PERSIA WILL NEVER GO BACK LIKE HOW IT WAS.

  • @ktintin2010 I talk to Persians or Iranians, and I can tell you,

    each everytime I want to preserve my race, they go against me. After all what

    traitors and enemies, did to them, they still bash me for wanting to take away

    traitors and enemies and then they do not even want to preserve their race.

    So do not even worry, they are nothing like yesterday or ever will be

    with that kind of attitude.

  • @ktintin2010 Too sad you think Iranians, think like that.

    They do not.

    They do not even want to preserve their race.

  • over 2000 yrs agoiran invented the small dick, the next day the invented faggots then they invented throwing stones at girls how did their civilization ever last with all men fucking men? did they invent more faggots too?

  • @ktintin2010

    Egypt, rome and Byzantine were all lost

    We're still alive, speaking the same language and practicing the same religion (some of us). The number of Zoroastrian Iranians is increasing by the day so stfu

    we will never die

  • VIVA PERSIA!
