Darius the Great, Percepolis, Language, Culture and History
Study of historic lands and culture is always interesting to me. Darius the Great had great vision and wisdom for his day.
"The Gate of The Nations"
Persepolis provides to us a bit of history worth looking into. Culture and language are very advanced for the period.
Persepolis Link
Darius established a government which became a model for many future governments;
Established a tax-collection system;
Allowed locals to keep customs and religions;
Divided his empire into districts known as Satrapies;
Built a system of roads still used today;
Established a complex postal system;
Established a network of spies he called the "Eyes and Ears of the King."
Built two new capital cities, one at Susa and one at Persepolis.
