The Ancient Middle East

6. The Persian Empire C. 559 BCE.

The Persian Empire

Cyrus the Great A tolerant ruler  he allowed different cultures within his empire to keep their own institutions. The Greeks called him a “Law-Giver.” The Jews called him “the anointed of the Lord.” (In 537, he allowed over 40,000 to return to Palestine). 580 – 529 B. C. E.

Darius the Great (526 – 485 B. C. E.) First permanent army in Persia. First highway ever – 1500 miles! Built Persepolis. He extended the Persian Empire to the Indus River in northern India. (2 mil. s.q. mi.) Built a canal in Egypt. Minted the first coins in Persia!

Darius the Great (526 – 485 B.C. E.) Established a tax-collecting system. Divided the empire into districts called SATRAPIES. Ruled by SATRAPS. Built the great Royal Road system. Established a complex postal system. Pushed kingdom as far as Greece but could never conquer it. Created a network of spies called “the King’s eyes and ears.”
