Persian Empire

The technology they all used was primarily involved with warfare and producing iron weapons, which were increasingly more and more lethal. These allowed effective conquest of neighboring territories. They also used improved road-building technologies to increase the rate of travel and the transmission of information.

The conquest was only getting in town for all the Babylonians to receive him with open arms. There was no fight. Under his rule, the empire embraced all the previous civilized states of the ancient Near East, expanded vastly and eventually conquered most of Southwest Asia and much of Central Asia and the Caucasus. At the time of Babylon, his army worked a detour of the river so they could walk in a waist deep river and the Babylonians received him. He worked two edicts described in the Bible as being made by Cyrus the Great left a lasting legacy on the Jewish religion where because of his policies in Babylonia, and one of them was to let the Jewish go back to Israel and build the temple back again.

Cyrus the Great.

-

'Thus saith Cyrus, king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth hath Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people may Yahweh, his God, be with him and let him go there.' (2 Chronicles 36:23)

540 BCE.

Under the leadership of Cyrus, the Persian Empire conquered Babylon.

He brought stability, established internal security and external security against attack, introduced Aramaic as a common language, and promoted agriculture and trade to improve prosperity. The empire was governed through 20 provincial governors to promote these advances.

The empire was divided into 20 provinces (satrapies) each governed by a provincial governor (satrap) who was responsible for internal and external security, oversight of the local city, tribal governments, collecting taxes, and developing infrastructure and prosperity.

the king and his council oversaw, coordinated and supported the governors.

By placing his generals in control of the various provinces, eg Ptolemy got Egypt.

Unlike may conquerors before, Alexander the Great allowed the local rulers of ares he conquered to continue ruling over their lands and practicing their own religions. This kept his conquered territories pacified and more trusting of his empire.

The Persian Empire was an absolute monarchy which was divided into provinces called satrapies. Each satrapy was allowed to maintain a certain degree of ethnic and religious autonomy, provided that they respected the authority of the sovereign. Each of the satrapies also had to contribute to the massive Persian armies which were used to bring all non-Persians under Persian rule.

There was no Greek empire. The independent Greek city-states were quite varied in political temperament. There were cities like Corinth which were ruled by several wealthy families as an oligopoly. The overwhelming majority of the population in Sparta were non-Spartans called helots who were serfs and servants of the dominant Spartan population. Athens was a direct democracy, convening meetings of all the citizens to decide laws. Any Athenian would have the right to speak and debate. There were other states, like Argos, that were ruled as hereditary monarchies. When Alexander the Great rose in the Greek region of Macedonia, he was able to create a Hellenistic Greek empire that on his death split up between his dictator-generals and ruled as regional kingdoms with a strong emphasis on spreading Hellenic Culture.

Hystaspes.

Persia didn't want 'one world'. It wanted a large empire which it could control, defend and promote prosperity. The only reason it wanted to absorb mainland Greece was to bring it under control and stop it supporting and stirring up revolution amongst the hundreds of Greek city-states in Asia Minor that were within its empire.

From Libya to Central Asia, incorporating the hundreds of religions in those territories. The Persians used Zoroastrianism, but made no attempt to impose it on its empire.

Persians; or, especially after 1979, Iranians. (The country's name today is Islamic Republic of Iran.)

Giving numbers to the Persian conflict wit the Greek world is dubious. Warfare ra from 499 to 449 BCE in different phases. The first phase was suppression of the Ionian revolt 499-493 BCE. The second phase was the Persian punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens 490 BCE. The third phase was the Persian invasion of mainland Greece 480-479 BCE. Then followed the fourth phase - a series of clashes and battles between the Delian League led by Athens and the Persian Empire 478-449 BCE.

Cyrus the great was the first king of the Achneamid empire.

He freed over 40000 Jews from Babylon

He founded a new capital city

he declared the first charter of human rights

He invented the first postal system

His name is mentioned 22 times in the old testament.

hope this helps. :)

It was based on trade and agriculture.

Government economy was based on taxing the tributory states, which taxes paid for the defence of the empire and public works.

It was not oppressive. After the defeat of the Persian invasion in 479 BCE the freed cities in Asia Minor and the islands had an Athenian set new taxes and he mostly recommended the Persian tax rates.

Two periods - 525-402 BCE and 343-332 BCE.

Athens, along with Eretria, supported rebellions by Ionian cities in Persian territory in Asia Minor. Persia determined to stop this by installing a puppet Athenian tyrant in Athens, and sent an expeditionary force in 490 to enforce this.

The expedition was defeated at Marathon.

The Greeks sank half the Persian fleet off the coast of Salamis.

he was killed by his own men . According to Afghan Historian, the late M. G. M. Ghubar, Darius III was killed by a Bactrian [present Afghanistan], called Basus, around 333BC, who declared himself the King of Bactria.

Zoroaster thought of Himself as a saoshyant (savior) and mathram (prophet). He is one of fifteen in a line of saviors found in the ancient Persian.

A possible list of their progressive revelation could follow thus: Gayo-maretan (primordial man), Vata, the Bull, the White Horse, Male Camel, the Boar, the Young Man, the Vereghan-bird, the Ram, the Goat, the Warrior, Zartosht, Ushedar, Ushedarmah, Saoshyant (Astvatereta).

Some designations may overlap or appear out of order.

He crossed into the Persian Empire in Asia Minor in 334 BCE, and entered Persia itself in 331 BCE.

No one conquered Persia, the government collapsed, due to war, and went through a period of anarchy, with Smerdis the third as the head. It then fell into the Parthian dynasty.
