Engineering an Empire - The Persians - Part 1of5



Uploaded by: wwbehrouz
Video Description:
The Persian Empire was one of the most mysterious civilizations in the
ancient world. Persia became an empire under the Cyrus the Great, who created a policy of religious and cultural tolerance that became the hallmark of Persian rule. Engineering feats include an innovative system of water management; a cross-continent paved roadway stretching 1500 miles; a
canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea; and the creation of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum of Maussollos. The rivalry between Persia and Athens led to a 30-year war known as the Persian Wars, the outcome of which helped create the world we live in today. Peter Weller hos

Who spent billions of dollars of financing on the nuclear bomb? Albert Einstein? He was important, but it's not like he made the bomb all by himself.

It was really Russia that turned the tide; after the battle of Stalingrad Germany was no longer seen as invincible and so the United States joined, knowing it had nothing to lose.

Are you some sort of idiot or something? I doubt that many scientists actually financed themselves to their projects... And without Einstein, what would the States even know what to spend the money in? USA didn't really become a super-power until after WWII. Remember, that just before it entered the war, it was going though the great depression.

Well, actually the second largest ever. The Mongols had largest contiguous empire with over 33,000,000 km2 or 22% of Earth's total land area. But the largest ever was the British Empire with 36,700,000 km
². The PErsian Empire got to be quite large, but saying that it may be the largest ever is just wishful thinking. I dunno what that guy was talking about

why is every empire the greatest? in other documentary I watched they said "egyptian empire was the greatest in the world, technology was the most sophisticated". and they said the same for chinese empire and aztec empire and roman empire. every empire was the greatest, huh? why? how? the size? population? its ridiculous to say "oh, we had the greatest empire". why dont they measure their dicks and see who has the largest ones?
Good question bro! ... ( 1 month ago by Cyruspersia)
Good question bro!
With no exaggeration the Persian Empire was the greatest in terms of size, population and sophistication based on +7000 years old civilization, Persia was the first not only Empire but the first Multicultural Federal States in the World which lays the foundation of the most successful nations in todays World.
Unfortunately none has been much overlooked and undermined than the Persian Empire, even the todays Iranian Government trys to degrade the facts let alone outsiders.
Most important of ... ( 1 month ago by Cyruspersia)
Most important of all Persia was the birth place of Zartosht whose teachings(Gathas) along with ancient Iranian traditions(Avesta)influenced all religions and philosophies onwards in the east(Bhuddism) and west(all semitic religions and western philosophies). Zartosht teaches no religion but how to be a good person and have a good life. He literally introduces God as Wisdom, Intelligence and Knowledge and claims that we humans create good and evil in this World and there's no judge but ourselves
that's why a ... ( 1 month ago by Cyruspersia)
that's why a powerful leader like Cyrus the Great rises and at the peak of his power creates the first charter of Human Rights and sets Freedom and Equality of Humans as the fundamental elements of the Empire that he created, those elements are things that the World really needs right now.
Also we have to compare all factors relative to their own time, it means that we cannot compare Persian Empire with British Empire side by side in the same historical layout.
Humanity, that's what counts.

wow retard. Those empires didn't happen all at once. They all happened at different times. The Persian Empire was the first largest empire in the world. They weren't only the largest but their king "Cyrus" was the one who spread freedom and human rights. He was the first person in history to spread freedom. He didn't care if you were black, Jewish, Arabic, Chinese. H'd give you freedom because you are a human being.

I think if it came down to pulling out the ruler and measuring penis size then the title of greatest civilization would probably go to the Africans.

The Persian and Chinese civilizations have made the greatest contributions to West and East Asia, respectively. We are brotherly civilizations and brotherly people. We made no war to each other throughout history, which is extremely rare and exemplary. The easternmost Aryans crossed the Central Asia and migrated along the Yellow River to become one of the earliest Chinese people. Our Princesses married each other's Princes in the 1st Millenium. (continues in the next post)

The last entire Persian royal family and Nobles moved to the Chinese Tang Empire and eventually became Chinese people over a period of two hundred years. Together, we made the Silk Road the greatest overland trade route for two thousand years. Today, Chinese people look forward to a strong Iran, so we can resurrect our historically strong bond to anchor and protect a strong, peaceful and prosperous Asia.
