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.

You seem to forget that half of Iran isn't even Persian territory. The Greeks avoided occupying other people's homelands.
