The ENTIRE History of The Persian Empire | Documentary

Persia, now called Iran, is a fascinating country. It has been a major power since before the foundation of Rome and even since the dawn of civilization. And it still shapes today the politics of the Middle East and Eurasia.
Right in the middle between Europe and Asia, it has been a major center of trade, learning, and cultural exchanges.
It is also a remarkably durable center of power, always re-emerging no matter how many times it got invaded or conquered.
This documentary will delve deep into where Persia comes from, and what made it so successful and unique among the world's great civilizations.

I am still fascinated by Cyrus the Great and Darius I. They created social structures that had never been seen before in Western Civilization. It's too bad that more isn't known about these individuals. The rest of the history is pretty much about who conquered whom, and the parade of cultures that crossed back and forth through this nexus between continents. All of which is very interesting, but I am still captivated by Persia's two earliest great rulers. They were truly visionaries as well as great military leaders - even today a rare combination.

As a Greek i must say that i really admire the Persians despite our fights (Persian invasion of Greece, Alexander the Great campaigns, Byzantine-Persian wars etc).
The Persians formed several Empires in their lands and were always a great force in the Middle East.

In American schools, all we hear about is Rome, Athens, and Alexander the Great. Persia is not a focus point as much as it should. Great video and well done

“And he sold all of the people into slavery” - Alexander of Macedon

“And he freed the Israelites from Babylon” - Cyrus the Great

See the difference?

Persia (Iran) is amazing, the history, the culture. Definitely have to travel there after the regime change, especially to Fars province

You should add that the first university in the world was established in Persia, in Shapour Kingdom 242 AC. The university called "Gondishapoor" which they teached literature, science, chemistry, art, music, astrology, astronomy, physics, math, and .... in that university, and many people came from around the countries to study there. The source is of the book "University of Gondi Shapur in the Cradle of History" by M. Shahrvini MD.

[lolitaluz]

Wow a glimpse of history in just few hours. Thank you.

[zaynwiththez]

As an iranian i have to say this was a very good video, sure it had some missing parts but overall it was a great summary of Iran's history, this is basically what we learn in our history class at school. Thank you for making this and showing the world the rich history of Iran.

[stardust]
