Chapter 3

One thing in found interesting was that the Persian Empire was the largest empire in the world in 500 B.C.E. Their empire was essentially run by a monarchy. When the king dies the people have to shave their heads as a sign of mourning. Persians believed in a God known as Ahura Mazda. The Conquest reached from Egypt to India obtaining new languages, cultures, and states. Moving on to the Greeks. The population consisted of nearly 3 million people. Unlike the Persians, the Greeks had a society where the people had some political say on what goes around. We can see this today with totalitarian regimes and democratic countries.
