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.

  • Engsham where the hell did you get "Persia invented reading and writing from?" There is a tablet of writing of the Olmecs in the Americas dating back to 3000BCE. Writing was developed all over the world independently, Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, etc. Why do you think they all have different language types? They all developed them on their own.

  • @jetulik Alexander was admired by persian culture, he even got himself a persian wife. At the end of his life he was more persian than macedonian.

  • iranian women r anyways so beautiful...imagine how beautiful persian women would have been..in its heydays

  • never work for an Iranian unless you want to be underpaid and overworked...that's my 2 cents for "persians"

  • Persia really needs to get rid of the Arabic and Islamic taint and restore Zoroastrianism.

  • Hammihan besjar geramie, az in video besjar sepas gozar hastim, chon haghighat ha ra roo kardeh, dastet dard nakoneh, sepas gozarim.

    Payandeh Iran, Javid Shah

  • @Dm3os1 oops,i meant ''confrontation'' ;)

  • @piyaz4 There can be no war without stupidity and atrocities. The burning of Persepolis was a payback for burning down whole Greece,bittered after the Marathon fiasco. Which and how many litterary -non greek-works burnt in Persepolis?Mambo-jambo zoroaster cult books, Handbooks of Feminisation and ''body culture'', the codex Hammurabi(by the way have you read it?Some intersting ethics there...)

  • @piyaz4 I see that you din't comment the ''balls'' part. I can't imagine a bigger disgrace than hidding in my own land, avoiding open confortation and having my family captured by a bunch of foreigners.Your great King was a great pussy wearing eye-liner

  • @Dm3os1

    1- your total inability in responding in a civilized manner just proved which group is civilized and which is barbaric.

    2- The great Persepolis was burned to the ground by Alexander's troops, where it held countless priceless artifacts and more importantly, books and literary works that only the CIVILIZED would appreciate.

    As for what's written in the west's history books ... well, as is often said; history is written from the victor's standpoint IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS VERACITY

  • @piyaz4 Be careful who you call barbarian you monkey. We Greeks won you straight, fair and clear. We surely did not destroy your civilsation. Mohamed did. We did respect you, we gave you the chance to rule with us a land which became ours by means of war. We had higher ethics and bigger balls. You've never had a great civilsation of your own anyway, you stole that from Babylone. Read History and then go and fuck yourself, sir.
