Persian Empire (1 jan 550 ano antes da era comum – 1 jan 330 ano antes da era comum)

Descrição:

Across the sea from the above-mentioned Mesoamerican civilizations there was a mighty empire in Eurasia. In terms of size, the Achaemenid Persian Empire has only been rivaled by few. It lasted from c. 550 B.C. to 330 B.C. This massive empire was connected by a road system, the first of its kind. The Ancient Persians grew because they practiced something now known as assimilation conquering. They accepted other religions and were progressive for their time. Not only did they have an impressive road network, the Persians were also advanced in many areas such as: sewer systems; the numeric system; the alphabet; mathematics; and chemistry. The Persian military was only contested by the Greeks who eventually conquered them to form one of the largest empires of all time.
