Between 550 and 520 BC Cyrus the Great had unified the Medes and the Persians and founded an empire that stretched from the Indus River to North Africa and from the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf. Professor Richard Frye, of Iranian Studies, Harvard University, in the foreword to Iran Seven Faces of Civilization, describes it as such: “The Achaemenid Persians established an empire unprecedented in the history of mankind, for they were truly magnanimous to their subject peoples, ready to tolerate and even to absorb foreign ideas.” At the foot of Kuh-e Rahmat, Mountain of Mercy, on the Marvdasht plain, King Darius the Great, and his successors Xerxes and Artaxerxes, built one of the most spectacular cities in the world – Persepolis.
