Persian history, civilization, culture, customs and traditions have been one of the richest and most beautiful empires of all time. The first kingdom of the world was Cyrus the Great. A prophet who embodied all the purity and goodness of his time. But he did not force or enslave any people. Liberation of the Jews. Reconciling nations. Due to the enmity and perhaps jealousy of European historians and unfortunately the destruction of history books due to the invasion of Alexander and then the Arab invasion and then the Mongol invasion, historical information about Iran is much less than information about Greece or Rome. The impact that the Iranians had on the evolution of human society, whether through inventions and discoveries and having the greatest scientists and physicians, is a great blessing to humanity. I hope that the services of Iranians to the world will be paid more and better. And know that the Islamic Republic is not the representative of the pure land of our ancestors.

According to historical data, the Achaemenid Empire in its largest territory extended from the Balkans and Eastern Europe in the West and to the Indus Valley in the East. This empire reached its highest area during the time of Xerxes I, which was about 8 million square kilometers (3.1 million square miles). A region that includes Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Bahrain, China, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Georgia, Turkey, Chad, Sudan and many other regions of the world. It would be today. The Achaemenians were the first unified empire that ruled this vast area for more than 200 years and are also known as the first superpower in history.

Much of Greece was Persian territory and because of the peace brought about by the Persian rule, Greece prospered so much (even Herodotus was a Persian citizen). After Alexander (the not so great) Greece was devastated, and there was no more peace to bring about intellectual work. That put an end to Greek cultural and intellectual influence in the world.
