Persian Empire Presentation
This is our presentation on the Persian Empire. It is a product of the work and effort of Monisha, Caitlin, and Rachel of team 8 in global class period 1.
A look into the persian empire
The Persian Empire stretched from Egypt to Turkey between 700-500 BC. It was one of the largest and most influential empires in history. Key rulers like Cyrus the Great and Darius I expanded the empire through conquest and established an advanced government with an elite army. The Persians had a tolerant culture and advanced technology for their time. However, the empire began to decline after weak rulers and military defeats against Greece.
Persian Empire
The document discusses the key characteristics and ingredients needed to develop an empire according to a "recipe" outlined in the text. It lists strong military and extensive food/trade routes, a strong centralized government under a strong leader, systems of taxation, transportation, communication, and standardized weights/measures as important components. It also notes the importance of displaying greatness through art/architecture and tolerating diverse cultures. The document then shifts to discussing the ancient Persian Empire, outlining its expansion under Cyrus the Great and Darius I who unified the empire and established infrastructure like the Royal Road. Factors in the empire's later decline include becoming too large to control, poor leadership, intolerance of other cultures, and invasions by Greeks

It was founded in the 6th century BCE by Cyrus the Great and expanded under subsequent rulers like Darius I. The empire dominated its region through military strength and established an extensive trade network along the Royal Road. Zoroastrianism became the dominant religion during this time. The empire began to decline in the 5th century BCE following its defeat by Alexander the Great and the Macedonians.
Ancient Persia By D.J., A.T., And E.G. Period 8
Ancient Persia had a thriving culture characterized by religion, arts, and interactions with its landscape. Zoroastrianism was the dominant religion, influencing others. The Persians created intricate pottery and world-renowned carpets. They danced to praise gods and used natural resources like minerals for trade. Leaders like Cyrus the Great and Darius expanded the empire through conquest while respecting local peoples. The culture and interactions through trade, arts, and resource use defined the Persian civilization.
Sumer civilization
The Sumer civilization thrived in ancient Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. It was the first civilization to develop systems of writing, government, religion, economic classes, advanced architecture like ziggurats, science, arts, and literature such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Sumerians invented innovations like the wheel, plow, calendar, bronze metallurgy, silver currency, and the first written legal code. However, rivalry among Sumerian city-states led to decline, and the Akkadian Empire later conquered and unified the region under rulers like Sargon I.
Ancient Persia
Persia emerged as a powerful civilization that was successful in many aspects including religion, technology, government, and adapting to its geography. It expanded greatly through conquest under rulers like Cyrus, Cambyses, and Darius, establishing a vast empire through military victories and an effective provincial system. Zoroastrianism was the dominant religion that influenced later faiths with concepts of heaven, hell, and judgment.
The achaemenid empire
The Medes and Persians migrated from central Asia to Persia (southwest Iran) where they established powerful empires. The Achaemenid Empire arose in the 6th century BCE under Cyrus the Great, who established the first Persian Empire and allowed conquered peoples to maintain their own traditions. At its height, the Empire stretched from Egypt to India. Subsequent rulers like Darius expanded the Empire through conquest and established infrastructure like the Royal Road. The Empire declined after defeats to Alexander the Great, though Persian cultural influences remained long after.

Persian Empire
Cyrus the Great founded the Persian Empire by conquering the Median kingdom in the 6th century BC. The Persian Empire went on to dominate Mesopotamia for over 800 years and conquered several other empires including Egypt, Syria, parts of Asia Minor, and India. The Persian government, called a Satrapy, was similar to the Roman republic and divided the empire into provinces ruled by governors. Darius I helped expand the empire further and established a new type of centralized government during his rule in the 5th century BC.
Overview of the Mesopotamian Civilization
Mesopotamian civilizations were among the earliest human civilizations that emerged between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the region known as Mesopotamia. Several independent city-states dominated Mesopotamia at different periods, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The Mesopotamians developed cuneiform writing using wedge-shaped marks and invented early mathematical concepts like the base-60 number system. They practiced a polytheistic religion and had social hierarchies with the king and priests holding power.
Ancient greek civilization
Ancient Greece developed out of two early civilizations - the Minoan civilization on Crete and the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland. Geographic factors like mountains and islands led to the rise of independent city-states across Greece. These city-states experimented with different forms of government, with Athens developing the first democratic system and Sparta developing a totalitarian military state. The Persian Wars in the 5th century BC united the Greek city-states against a common enemy but also intensified rivalry between Athens and Sparta for dominance over Greece.
Persian civilization
The document provides information on ancient Persian civilization from 600-400 BC. It discusses how Persia emerged as a great country that was successful in many aspects of civilization including religion, technology, government, and adaptation to geography. This allowed Persia to become one of the most productive and complex empires of its time. It conquered many other civilizations and had an effective strategic government system. The Persian Empire created the largest empire yet seen, spanning 3,000 miles at its height. It flourished for 200 years under influential leaders like Cyrus the Great, Cambyses, and Darius.
Sumerian civilization
The Sumerian civilization arose around 4500-4000 BC in the fertile crescent region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia. Sumerian society was composed of independent city-states like Ur and Kish that were ruled by kings with both governmental and religious powers, forming a theocratic system. Farming was central to their economy and they developed innovations like the wheel, lunar calendar, and a base-60 number system. Religion was important in Sumerian culture and each city had its own patron deity housed in a ziggurat temple.

The roman civilization
The Roman civilization was one of the largest empires of its time, spanning over 3.5 million square miles across North Western Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. At its height, the empire had an estimated population of 9 million inhabitants. The Romans differed from the Greeks in that they controlled a larger unified land area, allowing for stronger central government. The Romans were also more intent on imposing their culture fully on conquered lands, rather than establishing colonies like the Greeks. Key factors in Roman architecture included abundant building materials, the development of concrete which enabled larger structures, and adapting to different climates across the empire. Religious practices changed over time from the Etruscan period to the imperial period when Christianity grew prominent. Roman civilization had a
C12 - Roman Civilization
The Roman civilization originated in Italy from the city of Rome between 800 BC to 500 AD. At its height, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt and as far east as Mesopotamia. Roman culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture and adopted Greek ideas of government, law, architecture, art and literature. The Roman Republic established around 500 BC was later transformed into a monarchy and then an Empire under Augustus Caesar. The Pax Romana period from 27 BC to 180 AD saw the expansion and consolidation of Roman power. Key innovations included advancements in engineering, architecture, sanitation and the development of Latin as the lingua franca of Western Europe.
Early civilization: Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Persia
1) Mesopotamia was the site of early civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and saw the development of complex societies, cities, writing, and empires like Akkad and Babylon.
2) Sumerian cities like Uruk and Ur developed systems of irrigation canals, surplus agriculture, and specialized occupations, laying the foundations for civilization.

The ancient Persian civilization developed on a plateau located in modern-day Iran between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the Indus Valley. Two peoples, the Medes and Persians, settled this region in ancient times and established distinct civilizations. Over time, the Persian king Cyrus unified the Persian tribes and established the Persian Empire, which overthrew the former dominance of the Medes. The Persian civilization had a hierarchical social structure headed by the king and priests, with peasants and slaves at the bottom. Agriculture, relying on irrigation systems, and livestock were the primary economic activities. The Persian language evolved over time from Old Persian to Middle and Modern Persian.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
