Did the Persian Empire last from 550-330bc because it says it lasted long then that?

Your question does not make sense. The dates you give are the dates of the Achaemenid Empire, the second of the four Persian pre- Islamic empires. It replaced the Median Empire (678-549 BC) as a result of a rebellion against the last Median ruler. It was founded by Cyrus II the Great, the king of Elam. This was a kingdom along the coast of the Persian Gulf which the Medians had turned into a vassal state. The empire started with the Persian Revolt (552-500 BC) a revolt of Elam against the last Median king which Cyrus won. It ended with its conquest by Alexander the Great which stated in 334. The Persians surrendered in 330. The Persians overthrew Greek rule and founded the Parthian Empire in 274 AD. This empire lasted only 23 years. In 224 AD its last ruler was overthrown by Ardashir I, who founded the Sasanian dynasty and empire. This empire ended in 651 when it was conquered by the Muslims.
