Now that we have an overview of Athens and how powerful the Athenian Empire was, it took about several hundred years for Athens to develop at such a rapid pace.

In the past few hundred years, in fact, no major events have occurred. The main thing is that any powerful empire on our planet has followed the Egyptian Pharaoh's method of governing the country, which is to strengthen their own empire.

, and while allowing the king to enjoy it, it also required acquiring more slaves, which meant frequently attacking other tribes. It can be said that other tribes and even the common people were still in unspeakable misery.

But we have also said before that the most super bloody storm on our planet is coming. Of course, this is not nonsense. The main reason is that in this era, an empire is about to rise, and it is at lightning speed.

,Let's take a look together.

We mainly start to understand this empire from one person. This empire is what we modern people often call Persia! And this person may have been heard of by all of us to some extent. This person is: Cyrus the Great.

Around the seventh century AD, there are two tribes living in the western part of the Iranian Plateau today, the Median tribe in the north and the Persian tribe in the south. Previously, the Median tribe and the Egyptian Pharaoh joined forces to destroy the Huri people.

While submitting to the throne of the Pharaoh, they were also given a lot of territory. Therefore, at this time, the Median tribe also ruled the Persian tribe. The so-called rule meant that the people of the Persian tribe had to pay tribute to the people of the Median tribe, which meant that Persia

The people of the tribe are slaves of the Median tribe.

Legend has it that one day, Astyages, the king of Media, had a dream that the descendants of his daughter Mandani had become the rulers of Asia. So Astyages did not marry his daughter to the Medes.

Instead of being a noble nobleman, he married her to Cambyses Astyages, a meek and honest Persian nobleman. He thought that he would be able to sit back and relax from now on. In this way, he could avoid losing his current glory and wealth, and still retain his wealth.

The nightmare of being dominated can be avoided.

After Mandani became pregnant, Astyages had another dream. He dreamed that a huge vine grew from his daughter's belly and covered the whole of Asia. So Astyages came to find him.

A monk interpreted his dream. The monk said: Mandani's descendants will surely rule Asia. Astyages was very frightened after hearing this, so he ordered that the child be killed as soon as he was born!

Soon Mandani gave birth to a boy, Cyrus. Astyages ordered the minister Harpagos to take the child outside the palace for execution. Harpagos could not bear it, so he gave the child away.

A herdsman asked him to carry out the task. However, the herdsman's child died at birth, so the herdsman's wife secretly adopted Cyrus without telling Harpagos.

When Cyrus was ten years old, he was playing a game with the children in his village. The children elected him as king. However, a declining aristocratic child was not convinced, so Cyrus ordered the child's guard to whip him.

, but later this matter became a big deal, and even the king personally inquired, and then discovered Cyrus's identity. Astyages brought the monk to question, but the monk said that Cyrus had been cheated in the game.

The king would never become a king in reality again. It was the monk's words that allowed Cyrus to return to Persia safely and to his biological parents. But in this matter,

Because the minister Harpagos did not complete the task, Astyages was very angry, and then ordered the death of Harpagus's children. From then on, the minister Harpagos began to treat King Astyages

Grudge.

In 559 BC, Cyrus suddenly unified the ten tribes of Persia and became the leader of the Persians. Harpagos secretly contacted Cyrus and plotted to destroy the Mede tribe for the

His dead son takes revenge.

In 553 BC, Cyrus decided to raise an army to rebel against the Media, because the Media tribe was still the master of the Persian tribe, and the Persian tribe was a slave, so this time it was a rebellion! In order to unite the Persians with him, Cyrus

Around himself, he issued a strange order, asking everyone to go home and get sickles, and come to a large piece of land covered with thorns, and asked them to deal with all the thorns within one day. Although this order was a bit strange

, but this was ordered by the leader Cyrus, so no one temporarily disobeyed, so he had to work hard and was exhausted to death at the end of the day.

The next day, Cyrus called all the people together, killed pigs and sheep, and entertained them with fine wine. The Persians were very happy. At this time, Cyrus asked them: Do you like yesterday or today? Persia

Everyone replied: We like today. Cyrus also took the opportunity to say: If you are willing to obey my orders, then you will always be the same as today, otherwise you will always be the same as yesterday! We Persians are no worse than the Medes

, why should we be oppressed by them? We must resist Astyages!

In fact, the Persians had long hated the rule of Media, so they responded to Cyrus's words one after another. When Astyages, the king of Media, heard about this, he immediately felt uneasy, so he sent

Minister Harpagos led a large army to attack Cyrus. Unexpectedly, this played into Harpagos's plan, so Harpagos defected before the battle and surrendered to Cyrus.

After Astyages learned about this situation, he was so angry that he led his army to attack in person. As a result, he was defeated by Cyrus and their Persians, and Astyages himself became a

took prisoners.

In fact, when the Persians massacred the Mede army, they showed no mercy at all. The Persians had been enslaved by the Medes for generations, and almost all the Persians had always been without food or clothing.

Living a life of covering one's body, the hatred towards the Medes is so great that it goes deep into the bone marrow. This is the beginning of the most super bloody storm in our human history.

I saw that the battlefield was really full of blood and flesh, and all the Persians were furious. Even those Mede warriors who had fallen to the ground long ago, the Persians would still cut them into pieces cruelly, as if they were

In order to vent the overwhelming anger in their Persian hearts.

Although we have talked about war scenes many times before, all of which were bloody to the point of being unbearable, nothing can compare to this time. This time, even the sky seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the entire earth and the people on the battlefield were...

Horses and other things seemed to be begging loudly for mercy and crying. Countless Mede warriors were injured by the Persians, resulting in missing certain parts of their bodies. They rolled on the ground and shouted loudly, but the Persians still did not produce it.

Mercy eventually led to rivers of blood. The air around was filled with the strong and pungent smell of blood. In this battle, too many people died. Of course, many people died in Persia, but Persia

People seem to think they are simply seeking revenge.

Then Cyrus occupied Media and classified Media as Persian territory. Everything seemed to be developing normally. In 550 BC, Cyrus officially established the Persian Empire. The western part of the Persian Empire

It was the Kingdom of Lydia. The king of Lydia was very scared when he saw the rise of Persia. He was mainly afraid that Persia would attack them, causing him to lose his glory and wealth, and even the entire Kingdom of Lydia to become slaves. Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

The Persian Empire had just been established and destroyed Persia in one fell swoop.

Cyrus led his army to fight, and the Lydian warriors rode horses, but the Persian cavalry rode camels. After the horses smelled the pungent smell of the camels, they turned around and ran away, which caused the Lydian army to suddenly

There was chaos. The Persians took the opportunity to attack and won a great victory. Lydia was destroyed and became a province of Persia.

In fact, when the Kingdom of Lydia was destroyed, the scene was extremely bloody and cruel, because the fearless madness of the Persians on the battlefield with the Medes had a great impact on the entire Persian people, so all the current

The Persians are also very crazy. This is another blood-stained war process, but we will not describe the process in detail. My personal feeling? The fight between us humans is actually complicated, right? It is indeed a bit complicated.

It’s complicated, such as too many different styles of weapons, and various mounts. But what about simple? In fact, it’s quite simple. To put it bluntly, just don’t treat the opponent as a human being at all, and just completely destroy the opponent’s entire body, even if

Destroy the opponent into a pulp.

And this will become more serious next. After Cyrus destroyed Lydia, he also gained more population, resources and even land benefits in disguise, and there were more slaves! Therefore, he was very ambitious.

Cyrus set his sights on Egypt again.

But Egypt is not easy to mess with at all. No matter how you say it, the Egyptian Empire has been precarious for thousands of years and has not collapsed. It can be destroyed if it can be destroyed? Besides, what can we say about the Egyptian Empire at present? Pharaoh

It has become better than before, so the civilians still believe in the Pharaoh. So far, if there is a war, almost 50% of the civilians will actually help the Pharaoh, or protect Egypt. Another thing is that although Egypt is still

It is a copper weapons empire, but their copper smelting technology is very superb, so the sophistication of the weapons cannot be underestimated.

But Egypt was the first place to have the concept of money. After countless years, the magic of the concept of money slowly penetrated. We can also say that many people in Egypt currently do not believe in the belief in the sun god, but only the concept of money.

That’s it. As long as you have money, you have everything in disguise. So in the current structure of the Egyptian empire, we have talked about it before, saying that Egypt’s current management is mainly about the belief in the sun god and even the dual culture of the magic of money.

.

The culture of belief in the Sun God is mainly for common people. Common people still believe in myths about resurrection in the afterlife, and even the Sun God will protect them. However, there are also many people among the common people who have completely transformed and believe in money, such as many businessmen.
