The Persian Empire was one of the most mysterious civilizations in the ancient world. Persia became an empire under the Cyrus the Great, who created a policy of religious and cultural tolerance that became the hallmark of Persian rule. Engineering feats include an innovative system of water management; a cross-continent paved roadway stretching 1500 miles; a canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea; and the creation of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum of Maussollos. The rivalry between Persia and Athens led to a 30-year war known as the Persian Wars, the outcome of which helped create the world we live in today.

Some of them. And it went the other way as well, naturally. No religion or civilization has clean hands.

yeah that's why they were performing genocide against christians correct?

I will say it again. People like charlemagne and most of the crusaders were not christian. no matter how much they thought they were, they were not. apparently you aren't familiar with the ten commandments; one of them commands us not to kill. If you do kill(not being for self defense or to protect someone)you are disobeying God's orders.
