Engineering an Empire - The Persians - Part 1of5

The Persian Empire was one of the most mysterious civilizations in the

ancient world. Persia became an empire under the Cyrus the Great, who

created a policy of religious and cultural tolerance that became the

hallmark of Persian rule. Engineering feats include an innovative

system of water management; a cross-continent paved roadway stretching

1500 miles; a canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea; and the creation

of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum of Maussollos.

The rivalry between Persia and Athens led to a 30-year war known as the

Persian Wars, the outcome of which helped create the world we live in

today. Peter Weller hosts.

@giriisindahouse on the contrarY ,unlike most Indo-europeans we have kept most of our traditions, religion is just a small part of our culture ,u can see how our ancestors cellebrated the Persian New year in Persepolis & 2daY after 2600 years we still do it .

Persians never accepted islam as it was ,we changed & shaped it by our own traditions, thats why most arabs dont consider us as real muslims .( they R right )

even our weddings r based on Zoroastrian traditions.

@BLackHeaRT6601 dude we are here to talk scientifically and historically, not by rage. go search the history books and you will find that Arabs didn't have any empire and no one is mentioning Arabs as they had a great history. don't talk rubbish, we are here for the reality not for the imaginary !
