As a Greek, I have great respect for our respectable enemy (the Persian Empire) because they were a great civilization and influenced the world much like us🇬🇷❤️🇮🇷

Im persian myself and it makes me happy to see a side where the persian arent made to look like monsters. Like in the movie 300 or something like that.

Im mexican but love the Persian history..one of the empire well ahead of its time...

Persian history is really underrated and rich history. Love from india

It's wild that the Persian empire was so influential that people still remember and talk about them thousands of years later

Im Greek and i admire Persia :)

Shout out to the generations of all horses which participated in all the battles.

As a turk I admire the persian history, turks have been in contact with persians for hundreds of years and it’s nice to see how we share history and culture to some degree

Cyrus the great sounds like he was a great guy!

As greek I love and respect the aryan /Iran /Πέρσες/ because it was a such advantage civilization and very close to Greeks . 🇬🇷❤️🇮🇷

Cyrus the great was a decent human being and merciful conquerer. A great king.

Persian empire is my favorite in history ❤️🇵🇭❤️

This is the greatest empire the world has ever seen - to this day. A beautiful and avanced culture. Such amazing and fascinating people. Love and respect from Sweden ❤

As an Iranian, I highly appreciate this content, as it shows the history of my country with more legitimacy and accuracy. Just a quick tip for the creator; if you'd like to pronounce my country as we do in Iran, try calling it 'E-run' and you'd be spot on. As always have a great day :)

As a Persian, after the nonsense movie " The 300 " this video made me feel very good and I enjoyed it. thank you

Achaemenid Empire is my Favorite Empire in History (Always in First in my list). Thank you so much sir.

It's amazing how Isaiah in chapter 45 speak about Cyrus that he will conquer Babylon and the gates will not be shut that night.. It's precise

*_8:45_**_ Yes. The Greeks were extremely proud of their freedom especially 2/3rds of their population who were slaves to the other 1/3rd_*

Wow such a great documentary. great pictures. historical accurate pronounciations and professional narratives i've shared it since your channel really deserves more audience. 👍👍👍

Being Honest was the most precious thing that anyone could have in ancient Persia ♥

Persian history, civilization, culture, customs and traditions have been one of the richest and most beautiful empires of all time. The first kingdom of the world was Cyrus the Great. A prophet who embodied all the purity and goodness of his time. But he did not force or enslave any people. Liberation of the Jews. Reconciling nations. Due to the enmity and perhaps jealousy of European historians and unfortunately the destruction of history books due to the invasion of Alexander and then the Arab invasion and then the Mongol invasion, historical information about Iran is much less than information about Greece or Rome. The impact that the Iranians had on the evolution of human society, whether through inventions and discoveries and having the greatest scientists and physicians, is a great blessing to humanity. I hope that the services of Iranians to the world will be paid more and better. And know that the Islamic Republic is not the representative of the pure land of our ancestors.

As a proud iranian (Persian) good to see some documentary show true of Persian empire. Thanks to all of you make this video.

Thank you for being brave by telling the truth. This was very well researched. Looking forward for more great videos.

I wish the Persian rule under Cyrus continued till this date, I wonder how the world would be! The current injustices and economic slavery in this world is sickening !! Ancient cultures tell us so much about the current cultures, look at Iran people, in my personal experiences, all Persians I have met are very hard working and honest people!

In the past, the territory of Iran was very large, and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, and eastern Turkey, and today's country of Iran together formed Greater Iran. The families of the Iranian ethnic groups are: Tajik, Pashtun, Ossetian, Kurdish, Baluch, Persian, Punjabi, Lor, Azeri, Tat, Talesh, Hazara, Talesh, Armenian, Afghan, Gilak, Zaza, etc. The Persian Empire was the first great empire in the world and the oldest country in the world is Iran ، Many people think that only Persians are Iranians, but Persians are just a group of large Iranian ethnic families ، The empires of Iran are: Elamites, Madians, Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, Al-Buwayh, Saffarids, Taherians, Samanids, Khwarezmshahis, Safavids, Afsharians, Zandids, Qajarians. Of course, the Seljuks, the Ghaznavids, the Timurids were Turks, but they considered themselves the great kings of Iran and spoke and wrote in Persian. Of course, the Qajars were also of Turkmen origin, but they also loved Iran and spoke Persian and considered themselves The kings of Iran knew .Historians consider 7 countries as ancient and native countries, which are: Iran Ancient🇮🇷 , China Ancient🇨🇳 , India Ancient 🇮🇳, Rome Ancient🇬🇷 , Egypt Ancient 🇪🇬, Ancient Mexico🇲🇽, Ancient Africa 🇿🇦. Tajikistan is part of the Iranian Empire and the Samanid rule was Iranian Tajik. 🕋🕌🦁👑🇹🇯🇺🇿🇹🇲🇮🇷🇵🇰🇦🇫👑🦁🕌🕋❤🌼

Persian and Greeks were like sisters and brothers who might fight once a while but never stop loving each other's. They gave so much to humanity. The whole world owe them a lot. Greek historian wrote so much about persian and persian did the same. Brothers and sisters forever.

All respect is due Persia one of the most incredible human civilization on this earth.

According to historical data, the Achaemenid Empire in its largest territory extended from the Balkans and Eastern Europe in the West and to the Indus Valley in the East. This empire reached its highest area during the time of Xerxes I, which was about 8 million square kilometers (3.1 million square miles). A region that includes Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Bahrain, China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Georgia, Turkey, Chad, Sudan and many other regions of the world. It would be today. The Achaemenians were the first unified empire that ruled this vast area for more than 200 years and are also known as the first superpower in history. On the other hand, one of the special records of the Achaemenids is ruling over 44% of the total population of the planet at the time of the peak expansion of the territory, which has no similar case in history.

Persia history is in my hands, I love their history , i have watched movies of Persia a lot

I love Persian culture huge Persophile. Like massively a Persophile lover of Persian culture. *(I do love other cultures from the middle-east of course. I am a Arabophile and Turcophile too)*

writing , archery and telling truths (in 7th century BC) deep.

Im proud to be Persian ❤️

As a Persian I’m so happy to see this video!thank you sir🌹❤️

Nice... giving us a side that's not a villain.

Long live IRAN🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷 don't judge us by current government. We will rise AGAIN

Just found out I’m actually Persian and this was nice to see a video on the history so I can understand more about it

As a Persian im so happy that people like to now the history of persia.

Got my ancient history gcse at 1:30 and videos like this are the only revision I have, wish me luck

I'm an african and I love to learn more about persian history

Cyrus II was indeed one of the greats. His achievements both military and political would leave a legacy and culture that shaped the world and even the Greeks.

Thanks man ,hello from iran 🇮🇷❤

This channel should make a video on the Sassanian or Parthian empires. These were the resurgent Iranian / Persian empires after they freed themselves from the yoke of Greek rule & before the Islamic / Arab conquests.

May Ahura Mazda’s blessing be on our virtuous Kings and Queens forever. Kshnotrao Ahurahe Mazdao 👏

Bruh, where are you getting the art from? It's really pretty!

It’s important to note that the names used here are the Greek interpretations of authentic persian names Xerxes - Khashayarsha Cyrus - Koroush Darius - Dariush

The world need more leaders like Cyrus The Great and Darius The Great

Great documentary and history I really like it and you learned a lot to these video and story about our history and the life of our great warrior during ancient times.

The Persian Empire is literally a biblical empire. Cyrus the Great was in the Bible as God's right hand to create the largest empire the world had ever seen.

the greatest empire on earth!

I’m proud of being a Persian! Viva king of the kings Cyrus

Moment of silent for the mid century war horses

As an Iranian I should let you all know that about %90 of our history is burned to the ground by Mongols and there are so many different versions to each of the sections that you have explained depends on who wrote them.

A great civilization and empire An excellent warrior culture The persians contribution to the sciences literature etc were second to none

You should have told the story of how darius the great came to power . Its an intresting one

I’m happy to finally see a history video that speaks the truth of Persians in terms of their sophistication and how they built the infrastructure of human civilisation in terms of social connections and government systems.

This is the true golden age of humanity

I throughly enjoyed this !!

Good job.Would love to see some video about sassanids.

Thank you for another deep dive into the past with this ancient history documentary. So informative!

i adore my country and my king cyrus

I am a Persian guy and I love my country because it is the oldest country in the world with 7000 years history the Iran was the biggest empire in the world 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

Correction- Immortals were very different, they were taken as a young baby and are raised in a special section of the kingdom , They ALWAYS would wear mask and no one out side of that special area ever knew what that person looked like thus in case someone died another from the unit would replace them and giving the impression of IMMORTAL. And they were trained in every form of fighting be it archery, swords of all type(I hope you understand the difference of fighting style when the size and shape of the swords vary), well versed in poisons , spear techniques. It is said that they have never came back deleted . Their will to serve the kingdom was so great that even if someone was dying they would use the poisons they were carrying to take down a good number of them

Wow. Even as an engineering geek, I don't hesitate to learn History

Much of Greece was Persian territory and because of the peace brought about by the Persian rule, Greece prospered so much (even Herodotus was a Persian citizen). After Alexander (the not so great) Greece was devastated, and there was no more peace to bring about intellectual work. That put an end to Greek cultural and intellectual influence in the world.

History of Iran is phenomenal Without a doubt cyrus is one of the greatest person that has ever lived Developing conquered countries caused an extraordinary relationship between countries

Watching from Greece.hi everybody. Great documentary.

Proud to be persian❤️

This is so cool!

Greetings from Serbia to our brothers and sisters in Iran ❤️

The Persians seemed like alright guys, at least during Cyrus’s reign

We’re just forgetting the butler :) the butler was the start of Cyrus, he is why Cyrus lived, right? I feel like he should have been paid-

Well done! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The Persian Empire was simply the most powerful state in the history of the world and their capital city Persepolis was the largest and most beautiful city in the ancient world

I never thought an ancient history documentary would have me rooting for a bunch of guys with spears, but here we are

A documentary less than a Hour Good Job

they kept respawning , they fought romans for centuries then arabs then ottomans . the word persian empire will keep appearing and reapearing until 19th century . they were immortals and outlived Rome and the greeks

Love your videos are the best

i love history this is amazing great job

Great voice , explaining this subject of history I will subscribed to your channel .

The fact that I am an Afghan makes this video related to me

Love and respect from Iran/Persia ❤❤❤

As greek i have great admiration for persian scientists and philosophers..they influenced great deal the greeks..i m so sad that persians submit themselves to islam.. this religion destroyed their scientific spirit. Thankfully i m huge fan of persian s kitchen and music. That means that their culture is very much alive.. i m certain that when they get rid islam their scientific spirit will reborn

Actually, Darius I (aka the great) just wanted to punish Athens because they helped the Ionians with their revolt and he himself wasn't present at Marathon and he wasn't the one who passed the see That was his son, Xerxes

Proud to be a persian ❤.

I always enjoy history of the Persian Empire and others in the Middle East, as we only studied limited amounts in American schools in the 1980s. Even less is taught these days.

Beauteful video. Thank you!!

Forget Netflix-I'm binge-watching ancient history documentaries like it's 3000 BC! 📺

nice video, I like the artwork depictions aided with the narration.

They called the king of Persian, the king of the kings! Because he ruled different kings in different part of the world! In that time workers had pension, health insurance and getting salaries depends to their specialty. Their religion was Zarathustrian and in that religion they had 3 rules, Think right ( example, don't think to scam someone), speak right ( example: don't swear or don't speak behind someone els or don't lie) and do right ( example: don't steal)! Grate doc, thank you!

Tanx for this video and our legendary empire

Thank u so much for all your lovely comments my non-Iranian friends ❤️

The reason Darius vowed to fight Greece was because they had been pirates in the sea for years, the last straw was the Greek caused genocide in Sardis

Lots of great and brave warriors didn't recognize in history only the kings and leaders.

I’m Persian thank you to make this video

I am Afghan, but my language is Persian, Cyrus the Great is our proud and my ancestor.

I LOVE the ancient Persians, what a wonderful culture, long live Cyrus the great!

Great video, also Chaldean is actually pronounced “Kal-dean” 6:41

If i am born again i would like ti be born in the persian empire in the time of cyrus the great

Forget about Alexander. Cyrus was far better as a ruler and person.

Judea and Phoenicia were allies of Persia, they were vassals of Persia.
