WAS the Persian Empire cowardly?
Not at all. They were very bold and ambitious. They were brave enough to challenge the world and create a massive empire. In the Achaemenid dynasty, they conquered most of the known world. In the Parthian and Sassanid dynasties, they crushed the invading Roman armies. In the Afsharid dynasty, they fought the Russians, Armenians, Ottomans, Arabs, Portugeuse, Spanish, Hindus, Afghans, and Uzebeks all at the same time.
Who expanded the Persian empire to it's largest area?
Cyrus the Great
What was the name of Darius' new Persian capital?
I am trying to find the answer to that question also. The problem seems to be that Persia had different capitals at different times. Apparently Cyrus madePasargadae the capital; Darius I made Persepolis a capital, Persepolis is a Greek name for the Persian Parsa, but Susa, Mashhad, Ecbatana, Ctesiphon, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Tehran might also be correct answers. Ctesiphon may be the same as Isfahan.Alterate Answer:Persia at different points in history had different capitals. Persepolis, Ecbatana, Susa, Pasargade, and Babylon were considered capitals of Persia during the Achaemenid period. Seleucia became capital of Persia under the Seleucid dynasty. Ctesiphon became the capital of Persia under the Parthians and the Sassanids. Shiraz was the capital of Persia under the Buyids. Tabriz was the capital of Persia under Mongol and Turk rule. Isfahan was the capital of Persia under the Safavids. Mashad was the capital of Persia during the Afsharid dynasty and Tehran became the capital of Persia following the establishment of the Qajar dynasty. (FYI: Ctesiphon and Seleucia were within a few miles apart from each other and were in modern day Iraq. Isfahan and Ctesiphon are not different names for the same city).Persepolis.
Who said Hanoz Delhi Door Ast?
In the long history of medieval Dehli, this phrase has been famously uttered twice, once by the Saint of the people Nizamuddin Aulia and then again by the drunken sultan Muhammad Shah, popularly known as "Rangeeley" for his colorful lifestyle full of liquor, poetry, dance and women. Legend has is that Aulia, while a great 14th century social servant he was, had no time for people in power. This had dismayed many a Sultan and particularly Ghiasuddin Tughlaq, who was wary of the Aulia's popularity with both the Muslim, and surprisingly, the Hindu populace of Delhi. Hence, Ghias was very angry with the Aulia. Ghais left for the east in order to tame Bengal and received some quotes that the Aulia had been disrespectful to him. So the Sultan said that he was going to behead the Aulia when he reached back to Delhi. Thw Auliya's patrons were worried about this but the Auliya was unperturbed and uttered in persian "Hunooz Dilli Door Ast" or Delhi is still quite a way away". The Sultan's Bengal campaign was very successful and after this he began his journey back to Dehli. After a few days one evening he reached near Dehli and camped on the eastern bank of Yamuna, with his Dehli being the current southwest Delhi on the western side of the river. However it was here that the Sultan calamitously died because the "pandaal" erected in his honor at a party collapsed on him. Hence, the term "dilli door hai" is a colloquial in Hindustani for - do not attempt to count your chickens before the eggs have hatched or there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. Doesn't work always though. Muhammad Shah was completely enamoured with drink, music and women to notice that the once powerful mughal empire was crumbling around him and was prime for an attack by the Afsharid, Nadir Shah Qoli Beg. When prompted, Muhammad Shah "Rangeeley" would utter the famous lines, hunooz dilli door ast, but these were insufficient to stop Nadir Shah from raiding Delhi and plundering it, killing more than 100000 of its inhabitants in one day (14th-15th Feb 1739), and erecting mountains of human skulls from decapitated bodies.
