Today on Far Future Horizons we present the tenth episode of
the acclaimed documentary series Engineering an Empire that highlights the
engineering and architectural achievements of some of history’s greatest civilizations
and the empires they created.
This installment of Engineering an Empire focuses on
the Persians.
The Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BCE), also known as
the Persian Empire, was the successor state of the Median Empire, ruling over
significant portions of what would become Greater Iran.
The Persian and the Median Empire taken together are
also known as the Medo-Persian Empire, which encompassed the combined territories
of several earlier empires.
Engineering an Empire is a documentary series which explores the engineering and
architectural feats that were characteristic of some of the greatest societies
on this planet, and is available on DVD from Amazon.com and the History
Channel’s online store.
