[Chewbacca]

Didn't the Persian Empire abide by the Rule of Law.
At least that is what I seem to remember when reading the Book of Daniel.

I believe Babylon abided by the rule of the king only.

[Sam the Sham]

Herodotus the Greek historian of the Persian Wars said of the Persians that they teach their sons three things.

To ride a horse.
To shoot a bow.
To tell the truth.

A persian I know once told me, "Persia was the hub of trade and technology(for that time) then the vild (wild) people (arabs) came and destroyed everything."
