This must really bother the mullahs as it was Cyrus the Great that restored the Jewish people to Israel and had them rebuild Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.

Ezra 1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

To Muslims, there is no history prior to the society's Islamization.
Ergo nothing happened of note in Iran prior to the Islamic conquest.
Same for Egypt, in fact the Islamic Brotherhood has been quoted saying that they would destroy the ancient 'infidel' monuments and temples. (Remember what the Afghan Taliban did to the ancient Buddhas!)
