Early Median and Persian Kings - Deioces, Cyaxares, Astyages and Cyrus the Great

In honor of Nowruz, I wanted to do a quick video on the early history of the peoples known as the Medes and the Persians. We'll take a close look at the lives of a few of the kings of Media - Deioces, Cyaxares, Astyages - and how they relate to their most famous descendant, Cyrus II of Persia, also known as Cyrus the Great.
