    Comparison Of Pasargadae And Persepolis

    While the Achaemenid king’s did have religious and cultural tolerance, the Persian religion (Zoroastrianism) even advocated for many more human rights, providing an image of a more advanced society. One major human rights issue that was present in many cultures of the time was the use of slaves, however Zoroastrianism forbids slavery and so under the rule of the Achaemenid king’s many slaves of the conquered lands were freed. Renowned historian and Archaeologist Josef Wiesehofer believes that Cyrus refused to enslave his new subjects, which for the time was a revolutionary concept, as recently mentioned many civilizations, including Greek poleis, relied heavily on their slave industry. “He (Cyrus) considered himself not a conqueror but a…

    The Letter Of Cyrus The Great Concerning The Jews

    The letter of Cyrus the Great concerning the Jews was a letter Cyrus wrote stating his plans of helping the Jews return to their kingdom and promising them to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem. He kept his word and made sure that the temple was built and if anyone opposed he threatened them with death. Cyrus’s strategy of conquest was unique because it allowed people that he conquered to have a sense of freedom, even though they were being ruled over. They didn’t have to confirm to Persian culture and religion by force. Rather he allowed the different groups that he conquered like the Babylonians, Egyptians, and others to continue their own religious practices as long as they pay taxes, and gave their sons to be soldiers to the Persian army.…

And yet he was able, at the same time, to inspire them all with so deep a desire to please him and win his favor…”(Xenophon 2). Cyrus did one of the hardest things to accomplish in that he gained the favor of the people. Selflessness, gratefulness, and strength are the three things that set Cyrus up for success.

    Babylonian Empire Vs Persian Empire

    In 539 BCE the Babylonian Empire fell to the Achaemenid Empire, also known as the Persian Empire. Led by Cyrus the Great, it was the largest and wealthiest empire at the time and lasted until Alexander the Great conquered them in 333 BCE. The Babylonians had forced elite Judeans into exile and experienced many hardships. Once the Persians defeated the Babylonians they allowed them to return to Jerusalem. The Persian Empire's approach differed from the Babylonians because they worked to build a symbiotic relationship with the Judeans. As a result the Yehud area flourished and the Temple in Jerusalem was rebuilt. For the most part Israelite religion/culture was not heavily threatened by the need to assimilate to Persian customs and religion.…

    Impact Of Persian Civilization

    Cyrus the Great conquered Babylonia, Assyria, Media and India. Later on his son Cambodia conquered Egypt. According to Professor Filder Petry : The civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia are actually branches of the older Culture of Eilam (Persia), which dates back to 6-10 thousand years ago. The Persians pretty much controlled everything so it was really diverse. The Turkish People are a result of the mixture of the early Iranians, and the Chinese; Semites and Egyptians, Palestinians and Arabs, are the mixtures of Iranians and Africans; while the Indians are a mixture of Iranians and the native blacks of India, Dravidians.…
