“”far before the civilization of the Persian Empire and””

Don’t they still have a long way to go to become civilized?

I understand Cyrus in particular was a good and civilized ancient Persian king. It’s been downhill since then.

The ancient Persians get a bad rap because they were always fighting with the Greeks and the Greeks were always talking stink about them. We of course get most of our modern knowledge on the subject from the Greeks and that is reflected in how we see the history. E.g., movie “300.” But the Persians supposedly were fairly beneficent as rulers.
