Persepolis
I provide for you an interpretation of the Persian Empire by G.W. Hegel, a German philosopher:

“Cyrus founded the Persian Empire with great thought, good deeds, justice, tolerance and patience and thus entered the historical realm of Iran and the world.

According to Hegel, the German philosopher: “From a political point of view Persia is the birth-place of the first true empire and perfect government made up of incongruous elements. There, a unique race encompasses many peoples but these peoples preserve their individuality in the light on the unifying rule. This empire is not patriarchal like that of China, not static and passive like that of India, not transient like that of Mongols, and not based on cruelty cruelty and injustice like that of Turks.

On the contrary, there, the diverse nations while preserving their independence are bound to a unifying centre, which can bring them satisfaction. So the Persian Empire has passed long and brilliant days its harmonizing ways are in accord with the concept of a true state or nation more than any other empire in the world. 1 As worshippers of light, government over other nations, both in religious and worldly affairs, was never accompanied with force. 2 Also according to Heroduotus, ‘Persians are not in the habit of setting up statues or monuments for gods, nor do they build temples and altars for sacrifice.

It is hoped that you well leave this photos with questions to be further explored as to haw any why peoples between 518 and 516 B.C.
