Persian king (486B.C-465B.C ) of the Achaemenian dynasty. The son of Darius I, he had been governor of Babylon before his succession. He ferociously suppressed rebellions in Egypt (484) and Babylonia (482). To avenge Darius's defeat by the Greeks at the Battle of Marathon, he spent three years raising a massive army and navy. When a storm destroyed the bridges he had built to cross the Hellespont, he had them rebuilt and for seven days oversaw the crossing of his army, numbering 360,000 troops by modern estimates, supported by more than 700 ships. The Persians broke through at the Battle of Thermopylae and pillaged Athens, but then lost their navy at the Battle of Salamis (480). Xerxes returned to Asia, leaving the army behind; it withdrew after its defeat at the Battle of Plataea (479). In Persia he began an extensive building campaign at Persepolis. Drawn unwittingly into palace intrigues, he killed his brother's family at the queen's demand. He was murdered by members of his court. His setback in Greece was regarded as the beginning of the decline of the Achaemenid dynasty.

In this video you will watch Achaemenid kings (Cyrus the Great, Xerxes the Great, Darius king III, general Surena"in Parthian Empire" and ancient Persian peoples) This video is only one part of Aryan people's history, about ancient Persia and Achaemenid kings, Persian people are kindly people and they respect to all kind of people, religions and races. Here I wrote a little Persian history to read: Cyrus the Great the first king of Achaemenid Empire respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered. Cyrus the Great in the Bible: Cyrus the Great is mentioned 23 times by name and alluded to several times more. The earliest epigraphically-attested reference to the word "Aryan people" occurs in the 6th century B.C. Behistun inscription in Iran. -Darius The Great or Darius I , Behistun Inscription's translation. "I am Darius the Great King, King of Kings, King of countries containing all kinds of men, King in this great earth far and wide, Son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenian, a Persian, Son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage." Van Fortress or Xerxes the Great Inscription in Turkey. Translation: "I am Xerxes, the great king, the king of kings, king of all kinds of peoples with all kinds of origins, king of this earth great and wide, the son of king Darius, the Achaemenid. King Xerxes says: King Darius, my father, by the grace of Ahuramazda built much that was good, and he gave orders to dig this niche out, but because he did not make an inscription, I ordered this inscription to be made." The world's first declaration of human rights "Cyrus Cylinder" was discovered in the ruins of Babylon in Mesopotamia and a replica of the cylinder is kept at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City as the first symbol of universal human rights. Naqsh-e Rajab is one very old rockface inscriptions in Iran that was made by Shapur I the Great, second Persian king of the Sasanian Empire in 240 CE. Here Shapur I calls himself " King of Kings of the Iranians, and non-Iranians, King of Kings of the Aryans, grandson of the divine king Papak." "In Armenian sources, the Parthians, Medes and Persians are collectively referred to as Aryans." -R.W. Thomson. History of Armenians by Moses Khorenat'si. Harvard University Press, 1978.

Biblical Heroine Queen Esther of Persia

Order: Reorder
Duration: 45:24
Updated: 12 Dec 2013

This episode explores the story of Queen Esther of Persia - considered one of the bible's greatest heroines - who reveals her Jewish identity to prevent a massacre thereby saving the Jews from destruction. (Biblical Mysteries EP15) According to the Bible, she was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus is traditionally identified with Xerxes I during the time of the Achaemenid empire. Her story is the basis for the celebration of Purim in Jewish tradition. Origin and meaning According to Esther 2:7, Esther was originally named Hadassah. Hadassah means "myrtle" in Hebrew. It has been conjectured that the name Esther is derived from a reconstructed Median word astra meaning myrtle. An alternative view is that Esther is derived from the theonym Ishtar. The Book of Daniel provides accounts of Jews in exile being assigned names relating to Babylonian gods and "Mordecai" is understood to mean servant of Marduk, a Babylonian god. "Esther" may have been a different Hebrew interpretation from the Proto-Semitic root "*?aθtar- 'morning/evening star'", which descended with the /th/ into the Ugaritic Athtiratu and Arabian Athtar. The derivation must then have been secondary for the initial ayin to be confused with an aleph (both represented by vowels in Akkadian), and the second consonant descended as a /s/ (like in the Aramaic asthr "bright star"), rather than a /sh/ as in Hebrew and most commonly in Akkadian. Wilson, who identified Ahasuerus with Xerxes I and Vashti with Amestris, suggested that both "Amestris" and "Esther" derived from Akkadian Ammi-Ishtar or Ummi-Ishtar. Hoschander alternatively suggested Ishtar-udda-sha ("Ishtar is her light") as the origin with the possibility of -udda-sha being connected with the similarly sounding Hebrew name Hadassah. These names however remain unattested in sources, and come from the original Babylonian Empire from 2000 BCE,[citation needed] not the Chaldean Empire or Persian Empire of the Book of Esther.[citation needed] The Targum connects the name with the Persian word for "star", ستاره setareh, explaining that Esther was so named for being as beautiful as the Morning Star. In the Talmud (Tractate Yoma 29a), Esther is compared to the "morning star", and is considered the subject of Psalm 22, because its introduction is a "song for the morning star". Interpretations Esther is considered a prophet in Judaism. She is also commemorated as a matriarch in the Calendar of Saints of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod on May 24. She is also recognized as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Dianne Tidball argues that while Vashti is a "feminist icon", Esther is a post-feminist icon. Abraham Kuyper notes some "disagreeable aspects" to her character — that she should not have agreed to take Vashti's place, that she refrained from saving her nation until her own life was threatened, and that she carries out bloodthirsty vengeance. Persian culture Given the great historical link between Persian and Jewish history, modern day Persian Jews are called "Esther's Children". A building known as the Tomb of Esther and Mordechai is located in Hamadan, Iran, although the village of Kfar Bar'am in northern Israel also claims to be the burial place of Queen Esther

Persepolis Documentary

Order: Reorder
Duration: 46:24
Updated: 12 Nov 2013

Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550--330 BCE). Persepolis is situated 70 km northeast of the modern city of Shiraz in the Fars Province of modern Iran. The earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BCE. UNESCO declared the citadel of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.[1] To the ancient Persians, the city was known as 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿 Pārsa ("The City of Persians").*[2] The English word Persepolis is derived from the Greek Πέρσης πόλις Pérsēs pólis ("Persian city"). In contemporary Persian, the site is known as تخت جمشید Takht-e Jamshid ("The Throne of Jamshid"), and چهل منار Chehel minar ("The Forty Columns/Minarets"). Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BC. André Godard, the French archaeologist who excavated Persepolis in the early 1930s, believed that it was Cyrus the Great (Kūrosh) who chose the site of Persepolis, but that it was Darius the Great (Daryush) who built the terrace and the great palaces. Darius ordered the construction of the Apadana Palace and the Council Hall (the Tripylon or three-gated hall), the main imperial Treasury and its surroundings. These were completed during the reign of his son, King Xerxes the Great (Khashayar). Further construction of the buildings on the terrace continued until the downfall of the Achaemenid dynasty. Odoric of Pordenone passed through Persepolis c.1320 on his way to China. In 1474, Giosafat Barbaro visited the ruins of Persepolis, which he incorrectly thought were of Jewish origin.[4] Antonio de Gouveia from Portugal wrote about cuneiform inscriptions following his visit in 1602. His first written report on Persia, the Jornada, was published in 1606. Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, a variety of amateur digging occurred at the site, in some cases on a large scale.[5] The first scientific excavations at Persepolis were carried out by Ernst Herzfeld and Erich Schmidt representing the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. They conducted excavations for eight seasons beginning in 1930 and included other nearby sites.[6][7][8][9][10] Herzfeld believed the reasons behind the construction of Persepolis were the need for a majestic atmosphere, a symbol for their empire, and to celebrate special events, especially the "Nowruz". For historical reasons, Persepolis was built where the Achaemenid Dynasty was founded, although it was not the center of the empire at that time. Persepolitan architecture is noted for its use of wooden columns. Architects resorted to stone only when the largest cedars of Lebanon or teak trees of India did not fulfil the required sizes. Column bases and capitals were made of stone, even on wooden shafts, but the existence of wooden capitals is probable. The buildings at Persepolis include three general groupings: military quarters, the treasury, and the reception halls and occasional houses for the King. Noted structures include the Great Stairway, the Gate of Nations (Xerxes the Great), the Apadana Palace of Darius, the Hall of a Hundred Columns, the Tripylon Hall and Tachara Palace of Darius, the Hadish Palace of Xerxes, the palace of Artaxerxes III, the Imperial Treasury, the Royal Stables and the Chariot House.

Elena House is a gifted young American actress and singer. At the age of 15, she is an accomplished international performer and an award-winning model. A world-class artist, Elena has a natural aptitude to expertly combine her varied skills in refreshing and inventive ways both in acting and performing. She's also a pianist, martial artist and gymnast. She performs arias and classical works in English, Italian, Latin, German and Czech. She also sings modern works from artists such as Sarah Brightman, Enya, Ennio Morricone and Metallica with incredible vitality and emotion. Elena's online performances were discovered by producer/musician Thomas Schauffert. Highly impressed, he sponsored Elena so she could add her angelic voice to the harmonious music of Thomas/Heinz World Music in a concert at the Scala Basel Performance Center in Switzerland. Three of her live performances and a video log of her Switzerland experiences can be seen on her Youtube channel: MissElenaHouse. Elena will continue to perform with the Thomas S. World Music Orchestra as time permits. The Music Serse or Xerxes is an opera seria in three acts by George Frideric Handel. It was first performed in London on 15 April 1738. The opera is set in Persia in 480 BC and is very loosely based upon Xerxes I of Persia, though there is little in either the libretto or music that is relevant to that setting. Xerxes is now generally performed by a mezzo soprano or counter tenor. The opening aria, "Ombra mai fù", sung by Xerxes to a tree (Platanus orientalis), is set to one of Handel's best-known melodies, and is often played in an orchestral arrangement, known as Handel's "largo" (despite being marked "larghetto" in the score). George Frideric Handel (1685 -- 1759) was a German-British Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios, and concertos. Music is used with the permission of the singer, Elena House.
