Engineering an Empire - The Persians - Part 2of5

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.

One shoudl have mentined that Cyrus died in battle in 530 BC, fighting the geto-daciens, near the Black Sea. The Queen of the daciens, Tomyris ordered that his head was cut-off and put in a bowl filled with blood, to revenge the death of his son, in the war between the persians and daciens.
