Best Answer

AS with much of ancient history, historians debate how, when and why even major events in the ancient world are in question. This is the case with the ancient Persian Empire.

A few things seem clear:

A. Around 560 BC BCE, Cyrus the Great leads his Persians against the Medes and establishes an empire;

B. Persians are said to have entered the nation now called Iran from the North as early as 1500 BC BCE. They were Indo -Europeans and descended from Aryan peoples;

C. They created a noteworthy empire which reached its peak around 500 BC; and

D. Alexander the great destroys the Persian Empire in 330 BC.
