Engineering an Empire - The Persians - Part 5of5

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.

@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.

@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.
