Engineering an Empire - The Persians - Part 1of5
 |
||
The Persian Empire was one of the most mysterious civilizations in the ancient world. Persia became an empire under the Cyrus the Great, who created a policy of religious and cultural tolerance that became the hallmark of Persian rule. Engineering feats include an innovative system of water management; a cross-continent paved roadway stretching 1500 miles; a canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea; and the creation of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum of Maussollos. The rivalry between Persia and Athens led to a 30-year war known as the Persian Wars, the outcome of which helped create the world we live in today. Peter Weller hosts.

amoo34, wow that really shows how intelligent you are. People should be free to do what hey want, even if there are consequences. If you can't learn that then you will never enjoy life, becuase people won't let you enjoy it.
