__The first Persian Empire__

The first Persian empire was founded by Cyrus The Great in the 6th century. The First Persian Empire was in Southern turkey. It was founded in 550 bc and it fell in 330 bc. The reason it fell was because Alexander The Great invaded and successfully conquered it. Though Alexander the great conquered it he still had a lack of control. The way that it lived was with a lot of un- stability and there was a lot of assassinations and betrayals. The Persian empire is well known for the Great Birthday feasts which everyone in the town was invited to and they all drank large quantities of wine together. They are also well known for grand palace of Persepolis which was built using materials from all over the world. They also built many bridges out of their navy boats and the most well known one used 37 of their navy boats and traveled at least 1,000 metres over water. An interesting fact about The Persian Empire is it has been inspired by many film and game companies and has been re-created in those forms. An example of that is the movie called “Prince of Persia”.
