Clarification from class
Students, I got something wrong in your class Monday and I want to explain it better here.
The Persian Empire rose up under Cyrus the Great and they defeated the Assyrians. This was a big deal! The Persian Empire became the largest Empire in the Ancient World. It was during this time that the Royal Road was built under Darius' reign. This road is believed to have stretched 1600 miles.
The Persian Empire tried and failed to conquer the Greeks. We call this the Greco-Persian Wars. This, we will discuss more in class next week. I'm sorry If I confused you!
