How did Darius treat those he conquered?

The purpose of the Persians was to create a peaceful, secure and prosperous empire. When they took over areas, they would leave local rulers to continue to control the city/tribe/people and establish a Persian provincial governor to oversee them, and also keep the peace and defend against external intruders. They would also impose a tax to finance this defence and to undertake public works. It is interesting that when the european Greeks liberated the Greek cities of western Asia Minor, they had to settle on tax systems for the cities. The Athenian general Aristeides, who was appointed to do this, ended up using the Persian tax model, which he found to be very fair.


Where did the Picts live before they lived in Scotland?

They Came across the sea in their long canoes over 2000 years ago. They are the Mikmaq If you take the time and look closely you will see.....:) These are my people! The Micmacs probably came across the Atlantic around 2000 BC. They had previously received an Egyptian migration in Maine around 2500 BC; the Egyptians gave them hieroglyphics, which they still have! The Micmacs probably set out to find their ancient home Egypt, and found Scotland instead. They mixed with the many peoples they found there, including ancient Capoids ("brownies"), Basque-like Ambrones from the Netherlands, Etruscan-like Attecotti from Thrace, Liguro-Lappic Fomori from Norway (Iuchurbe), who fought the Tuatha De Danaan in Ireland, and the remnants of the ancient Goidelic Celts of Britain (the Gogmagogi) who were driven north by the invading Cimbric Celts (Brythonics) when the latter invaded Britain from Bohemia. It's mind-boggling how many people the Picts really were! Now they are the Scots. When Columbus visited Ireland shortly before his voyages to America, he saw two Micmacs, a man and a woman, who had washed up on the Irish coast in a canoe; they were close to death. Columbus asked the man with sign language where he had come from; the man pointed to the West and died. Some say that this experience is what prompted Columbus to undertake his historic voyages.
