Achaemenid Empire

The Achaemenid Empire (/əˈkmənɪd/Old PersianHaxāmanišiyā; c. 550–330 BCE), or First Persian Empire,[9] was an empire inWestern and Central Asia, founded in the 6th century BCE by Cyrus the Great.[9] The dynasty draws its name from king Achaemenes, who ruled Persis between 705 BCE and 675 BCE. The empire expanded to eventually rule over significant portions of the ancient world which at around 500 BCE stretched from the Indus Valley in the east, to Thrace and Macedon on the northeastern border of Greece, making it the biggest empire the world had yet seen.[10] The Achaemenid Empire would eventually control Egypt as well. It was ruled by a series of monarchs who unified its disparate tribes and nationalities by constructing a complex network of roads.
By the 600s BCE, the Persians (Parsa)[11] had settled in the southwest Iranian plateau, bounded on the west by the Tigris River and on the south by the Persian Gulf; this region came to be their heartland.[10] It was from this region that Cyrus the Great would advance to defeat theMedian, the Lydian, and the Babylonian Empires, to form the Achaemenid Empire.
