In its time, the Persian Empire was the largest and greatest the world had ever seen. Beginning in 559 B.C under Cyrus the Great it lasted more than 2 centuries, until 330 BC encompassing lands stretching from Greece, Asia Minor and Egypt in the West, across Mesopotamia and Iran, through Central Asia, all the way to the Indus Valley in the East. The Empire developed an efficient bureaucracy, a postal service, a complex economy and a powerful army. The Persians numbered only about one million people and successfully ruled over a multi ethnic and multi cultural population of 25 million.
This series of 24 half hour lectures - 2 per evening (4 per month). are free. The title of each lecture is listed below.
Lecture – 23 The End of an Empire, 333–323 B.C.
Witness the suspenseful battles between the Persian and the Macedonians, the sieges of Alexander the Great and Darius III on the run. Alexander, arguably one of the greatest generals in history, commanded a powerful army and defeated darius, then took on the mantle of Great King, adopting much of Persian idelogy.
Lecture – 24 Legacies of the Persian Empire
When an empire ends, its culture and institutions don’t vanish overnight. Learn about the Persian legacy and what became of the kingdoms that followed – the Seleucids, the Parthians and the Sasanians. By the time Islamic invaders arrived in 651, the Persian Empire had become a legend, but its legacy lives on even in modern Iran.
