Having nurtured his childhood interest in Iran’s history, which saw him visit the place a number of times, Cyrus provides an insightful and researched presentation which is sure to grab the attention of children and adults alike.
Cyrus Cama writes, “With this video we start a series of programs and podcasts all dealing with ancient Persia and the beginnings of the Achaemenid Persian Empire of Cyrus II, better known to the world as Cyrus the Great. We’ll first take a quick look at the history of the region around the time when the first Iranian tribes entered the region, followed by the Medes and how they laid the groundwork for the rise of one of history’s greatest rulers, Cyrus the Great, founder of Persian Achaemenid Empire. We’ll also examine a good deal of the primary sources (such as the works of Herodotus, Babylonian chronicles, the Cyrus Cylinder, etc.) that help us to put together a better picture of who Cyrus was. You will not want to miss this episode!”
Topics covered include ‘Early Kingdoms and Empires of Mesopotamia’; ‘Early Iranian Peoples (Medes and Persians)’; ‘The Early Reign of Cyrus’; ‘Croesus and the Lydian Campaign’; ‘Cyrus and Babylon’; ‘The Cyrus Cylinder’; and ‘Cyrus’ Final Campaign’.
