Editor's Notes
- Cyrus, who his conquest ranges from central Asia to Mediterranean. His successors, especially Darius and Xeroxes continued the expansion of the country. It reached in the west to the border of Greece, in the north up to the now days Russia and eastern Europe, south to the Ethiopia in Africa and east to the boarder of India and China. Just imagine this very vast empire, the largest empire the world has ever seen, But this is not their only achievement. but their greatest achievement was the administration system which they used to direct this vast empire. The first global empire were built on the model of tolerant and respect for the other culture and religion. Tolerance was the key word in religion in this vast Achaemenid empire but it was not only tolerance of the other religion but it was actually encouraging them even though they were Zoroastrian, the Achaemenid empires did not seek to impose their religion to the another people and on the contrary they help them to rebuild their temples that happen for Jewish, Egyptian and Babylonian and in fact they are the first example of international religious freedom that we find in the history of the mankind.
