Iran (Persia as it was known in the West) is home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, with historical and urban settlements dating back to 7000 BC (9000 years ago). The Persian Empire, which at one time ruled two-thirds of the known world, dates back to 559 BC (or about 2500 years ago).
