Download or read book A Short History of Persia written by George Rawlinson and published by Ozymandias Press. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Persian Empire dates from the conquest of Astyages by Cyrus, and therefore commences with the year B.C. 558. But the present inquiry must be carried considerably further back, since in this, as in most other cases, the Empire grew up out of a previously existing monarchy. Darius Hystaspis reckons that there had been eight Persians kings of his race previously to himself; and though it is no doubt possible that some of the earlier names may be fictitious, yet we can scarcely suppose that he was deceived, or that he wished to deceive, as to the fact that long anterior to his own reign, or that of his elder contemporary, Cyrus, Persia had been a monarchy, governed by a line of princes of the same clan, or family, with himself. It is our business in this place, before entering upon the brilliant period of the Empire, to cast a retrospective glance over the earlier ages of obscurity, and to collect therefrom such scattered notices as are to be found of the Persians and their princes or kings before they suddenly attracted the general attention of the civilized world by their astonishing achievements under the great Cyrus...

Download or read book East Rome Sasanian Persia and the End of Antiquity written by James Howard-Johnston and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last, longest and most damaging of the wars fought between East Rome and Sasanian Persia (603-628) brought the classical phase of west Eurasian history to a dramatic close. Despite its evident significance, not least as the distant setting for Muhammad's prophetic mission, this last great war of antiquity attracted comparatively little scholarly attention until the last decades of the twentieth century. James Howard-Johnston's contributions to the subject, most of which were published in out-of-the-way places (one, that on al-Tabari, is printed for the first time), are brought together in convenient form in this volume. They strive to root history in close observation of landscape and monuments as well as careful analysis of texts. They explore the evolving balance of power between the two empires, look at events through Roman, Armenian and Arab eyes, and home in on the climax of the final conflict in the 620s.

Download or read book The Persian Empire 2 volumes written by Mehrdad Kia and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-balanced reference on ancient Persia demonstrates the region's contributions to the growth and development of human civilization from the 7th century BCE through the fall of the Persian Sasanian Empire in 651CE. Knowledge of ancient Persia is often gleaned from the writings of the ancient Greeks and Romans—two civilizations that viewed the Persians as enemies. This one-of-a-kind reference provides unbiased coverage of the cultural history of the Persian Empire, examining the Median, Achaemenid, Parthian, Kushan, and Sasanian dynasties and tracing the development and maturation of Iranian societies during a period of nearly 1,500 years. As one of the most comprehensive studies on the topic, this historical overview explores the region's rich past while providing insight into the cultures and civilizations the Persians came to rule and influence. Using primary sources written and inscribed by the ancient Persians themselves, the encyclopedia studies the pre-Islamic civilizations of Iran in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Incorporating contributions from scholars who discuss the rise and fall of various Persian dynasties, the work offers some 180 entries that cover such topics as religion, royal nobility, the caste system, and political assassinations. The content offers perspectives from a variety of disciplines—from anthropology to archaeology, geography, and art history, among other areas.

Download or read book Persia with Love written by Dr. Rafie Hamidpour and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of Persian history is dedicated to the Persian people willing to sacrifice their own comfort for the greater good of their family and loved ones. Throughout history, the strength of mankind has been emphasized through collective culture. A collective mindset and lifestyle has evolved societies to place greater emphasis on humanity, and less on monetary value. Since the age of industry, many of these concepts have been forgotten as people strive for a different type of success. Money, property, and material possessions have replaced the seemingly obsolescent barometers of the past. The change has come from the focus of these intentions and the source of these desires. Hope lies in the occurrence of the frequently documented random acts of kindness that members of society take, when acts benefit the doer more than the receiver. These are the ones who authenticate the human morals and ideas that mankind once thrived on and implemented
