Persia

This page will contain information about the persian civilization

Persia, like our other civilizations, has an extremely long history. The territory of ancient Persia is almost equivalent to modern-day Iran's. In fact, Persia is the most powerful and prosperous tribe of ancient Iran, originating in the southwest section. Around 500 B.C., King Cyrus united all of Persia under the great Persian Empire. Today however, the name of the country is“Iran", which better reflects its multiple ethnicities and cultures.

In B.C. 2000, several tribes living around the Iranian Plateau and Indus Valley united to form the Aryans. In an attempt to find a new water source and better farmlands, the Aryans traveled for many years. At about 2000 BC, a Aryan tribe traveled and settled in Persia. King Cyrus took those people and conquered all the land from the Aegean Sea to the Indian River, a miraculous feat. After the death of King Cyrus, Persian Kings continued to lead the Aryans in conquering even more of the Mediterranean regions.
