Cyrus the Great

Cyrus the Great King of the Kings. Persian King of Iran.
Cyrus the Great (Persian: کوروش بزرگ, Kūrosh-e-Bozorg) (c. 600 BC or 576 BC December 530 BC), also known as Cyrus II or Cyrus of Persia, was the first Zoroastrian Persian emperor. He was the founder of the Persian Empire under the Achaemenid dynasty.

It was under his own rule that the empire embraced all previous civilized states of the ancient Near East, expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Southwest Asia and much of Central Asia, from Egypt and the Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, to create the largest empire the world had yet seen.

The reign of Cyrus lasted 29 to 31 years. Cyrus built his empire by fighting and conquering first the Median Empire, then the Lydian Empire and the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Either before or after Babylon, he led an expedition into central Asia, which resulted in major campaigns that brought "into subjection every nation without exception." Cyrus did not venture into Egypt, as he himself died in battle, fighting the Massagetae along the Syr Darya in December 530 BC. He was succeeded by his son, Cambyses II, who managed to add to the empire by conquering Egypt, Nubia, and Cyrenaica during his short rule.

As a military leader, Cyrus left a legacy on the art of leadership and decision making, and he attributed his success to "Diversity in counsel, unity in command." Cyrus the Great respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered. It is said that in universal history, the role of the Achaemenid empire founded by Cyrus lies in its very successful model for centralized administration and establishing a government working to the advantage and profit of its subjects. In fact, the administration of the empire through satraps and the vital principle of forming a government at Pasargadae were the work of Cyrus. Aside from his own nation, Iran, Cyrus also left a lasting legacy on Jewish religion (through his Edict of Restoration), human rights, politics, and military strategy, as well as on both Eastern and Western civilizations.

@love187punk And again i'm shure you have been to my channel too, so you know that i'm in compli opposition with the IRI, but all the iranians will have the same reaction as i did & even worse, i didn't called you jackass, did i told you go fuck no man, and honestly i don't know why did you put a shity comments against one of owr greatest kings, if you want to critisize IRI free to you but this was not the video you had to do it; I really don't know who did washed you brain but he did a good job

[Dariushparis]

@love187punk Yes i did answering to you who attacked 1st by saying we were defeated easily by muslims so now don't answer like if i was the one who opened fire, but honestly i don't know who did told or teach you what you say about Iran but they are 95% wrong, again for your information i just remind you that the Sunnies are much wilder in their practice of religion than the Shiites, all the fanatic groups or mouvements are sunnis no??? (The Salafists, the Wahabits are sunnis no??)

[love187punk]

@Dariushparis your replying to yourself..

anyway, you started this by saying Arabs eating lizards & other BS, but it dont matter, and dont think for a moment that i hate Persian, Persians have the free-will and the Right to choose for themselves which leaders they want, and their own way of life, unfortunately the Iranian government not allowing this, a lot of Shiites who converted to Muslim/Sunnis and Christianity getting hanged everyday for just converting to another religion

[Dariushparis]

@love187punk 1st i never said persia was the greatest empire ever existed, but when we were civilisation you arabs were absolutly nothing not even a bacterie, 2nd i prefer even to have a free imagination than my brain washed with your islamic nonsenses, and 3rd no it's impossible if you were an persian, cause an persian would not have such stupid theories & 4th i can continue no problem & no doubt for days & even for years to counter stupids like you

[Dariushparis]

@love187punk So Adam & Eve where muslims and created by Allah??? Whaoooo man your knowlage is too big for me!!!!

[Dariushparis]

@Dariushparis suite: and i answered you back, 5th: this video is about one of owr greatest kings & owr history, nobody obliged you to write you shity comments, how ever you can die of frustrations because arabs before the islamic conquest existed only like simple humans, not civilisation, and even that all the big architects of muslim world were persans, most of mathematitiens & scientifics were persans, of course you can denie but everybody knows the truth, stop here & i will do too

[Dariushparis]

@Dariushparis 1st you you had wrotten that you had born in desert not me, you can erase it but i read that so i didn't found that by my own, 2nd if i have mouve to france it's because i'm totaly in opposition with those who rule my country, 3rd why have you mouved to UK, maybe you erased that too but too late i saw it too, i never attack without knowing who is in my target; 4th maybe we haven't study the same history, and if you want to talk about it ok but i didn't insult you, you started

[love187punk]

@Dariushparis born in a desert.. what if i told you i'm Persian myself from the blood to the bones, what this got to do with anything, i'm just telling the facts that your closed mind cant accept, and why get frustrated, wanna talk about history, Adam and eve the first man and woman created by Allah before any history was written and they were Muslims, so what history you want, nor your numbers or your Persian history can define this unless your an atheist or you still worshiping Ahura Mazda
