Empire Well Done young Jedi’s… Mr. Sill has taught you well. Now, join me in a quest to understand one of the first classic empires… the Persians

The Persians The Persians created an empire, the largest yet seen in the world, extending 3,000 miles. The empire flourished for 200 years. Persia is located in present-day Iran.

The Persians Cyrus the Great: 559 B.C. to 530 B.C. “I am Cyrus. King of the world. When I entered Babylon... I did not allow anyone to terrorize the land... I kept in view the needs of Babylon and all its sanctuaries to promote their well- being... I put an end to their misfortune.” From The First Charter of the Rights of Nations How did Cyrus treat the people he conquered? Why? Don’t break my heart, my achy-breaky heart… Everyone knows, you need a mullet to rule an empire! Hi, AP World 9 Class… I’m Miley Ray Cyrus and I love World History! Hey, A-Razz… Call me!

The Persians Persian emperor Darius, 522 B.C. to 486 B.C., Unified the Empire Darius set up a Federal government that became a model for later rulers. Capital city of Persepolis. Each province led by a satrap, governor. People had to pay taxes based on their resources and wealth. Special officials, "the Eyes and Ears of the King," visited each province. personal bodyguard of 10,000 men, called the Immortals. Like Hammurabi, Darius drew up a single code of laws for the empire.

The Persians To encourage unity, he had hundreds of miles of roads built or repaired. The Royal Road made it easier to communicate with different parts of the empire. Trade improved: Common set of weights & measures. Use of coins, which the Lydians of Asia Minor had first introduced. Replaced barter with the exchange of money. Single Persian coinage created economic links among his far-flung subjects. Postal System

The Persians Xerxes was chiefly occupied with suppressing revolts in Egypt and Babylonia. He also attempted to conquer the Greek Peloponnesus Flaunted his Persian identity and sought to impose his own values on conquered lands – retreated from policy of toleration Darius’ successor was Xerxes, who ruled from 486 B.C. to 465 B.C.

Decline and fall Empire becomes too big to control Poor leadership Lack of toleration of those they control – multicultural empire Persian wars ( B.C.E.) – lost battles to the Greeks Invasion by Alexander the Great – Marched into Persia and destroyed the Achaeminid Empire – burned Persepolis. What are some factors that could cause the Achaemenid Empire to fall?

Good vs. evil Did you ever have to make a choice between something you knew was the right thing to do and something you knew was wrong? Explain what you chose to do and why? Do Now:

Zoroastrianism Religious beliefs put forward by the Persian thinker Zarathustra (about 600 BCE) Zoroastrian Beliefs: Not strict monotheists: one main god and six lesser deities Avesta – Holy Book, Magi - priests Major God - Ahura Mazda the Persians were tolerant of the people they conquered. They respected the customs and religious traditions of the diverse groups in their empire. Zoroastrianism influenced many religions.

DUALISM All people must choose a side The world is a battleground between good and evil

Zoroastrianism Angra Mainyu VSVSVSVS Ahura Mazda Believed in “good words, good thoughts, goods deeds.”

Judgment day The good will go to heaven, the bad would suffer in hell. REWARD or PUNISHMENT?

Goodness will eventually prevail, and the world will achieve eternal peace.

Comparison What types of moral behavior were highly regarded in the teachings of Zarathustra and Jesus? “Be good, not base.” “Please Ahura Mazda with righteous deeds performed with faith in truth…” “Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness” Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.” “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you…” What does each man say will determine whether or not people are “Good” or “Evil?” “…let the wise choose aright” “Of these Twin Spirits, the Evil One chose to do the worst.” “Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.” “Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

Comparison How would those who adhere to the values of “Goodness” be rewarded? “Then at Thy command shall the Good Mind establish the Kingdom of Heaven, O Mazda.” “Long punishment for the evil-doer, and bliss for the follower of truth, The joy of salvation for the Righteous ever afterwards.” “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’s sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” “Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven…” Is a Dualistic model more effective than a Polytheistic model in uniting civilizations? Explain.
