In 1971 the Great Persian Empire celebrated the 1500th anniversary of its founding.
Its founder was Cyrus the Great, who proclaimed himself the King of the Kings. His son Cambyses succeeded his throne, conquering Egypt and expanding the empire.
Darius I followed Cambyses and was probably the most famous of this long line of kings. Under his rule, the empire stretched as far as India.
Governors were placed in charge of the provinces. Extensive systems of roads and waterways improved communication throughout the kingdom. He was one of a few ancient rulers who permitted his subjects, to worship as they wished. The magnificent city of Persepolis, founded under his direction in 518 B.C. was a ceremonial center.
