Ancient Persia conjures images of extravagant palaces, beautiful gardens, mighty armies, and all-powerful kings, queens, and princes. The beginnings of Iranian antiquity are enigmatic, but from the cradle of the western Zagros Mountains came the greatest empires the world has ever known. The Elamites, Medians, Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sassanids all sprang from interlinked cultural origins that could trace their roots back through each successive empire.

2:54 While it's true that the Persians sacked Athens and caused damage to the city, there's no historical evidence specifically attributing the burning of the Acropolis to Xerxes himself. The burning of the Acropolis is often associated with the earlier Persian invasion led by Xerxes' predecessor, Xerxes I

Hallo ❤
"Written several centuries after the event" - Yeah, that would be a totally accurate account of events. Imagine trying to write about the American Civil War or WW1 today without any accounts of what really happened. Odds are it would be completely wrong. It makes no sense to destroy a complex that massive and it would seem nearly impossible without some serious explosives, which they didn't have. It's not like you could destroy that with horses and ropes, which is about all they had. I also wonder how they built it in the first place. Explain to me how they got all the columns in place along with the roof and everything else. Showing stone columns burning seems kind of comical. We all know stone doesn't burn, right? Personally, I don't buy into any of this story. It seems more likely this area may have been hit by a coronal mass ejection or something. A simple drunken rampage would not account for any of the destruction. Who cleared out all the debris? The remnants of 100 columns wouldn't just disappear, never mind all the walls and ceilings.
Maga??.
