Ancient Persia conjures images of extravagant palaces, beautiful gardens, mighty armies, and all-powerful kings, queens, and princes. The beginnings of Iranian antiquity are enigmatic, but from the cradle of the western Zagros Mountains came the greatest empires the world has ever known. The Elamites, Medians, Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sassanids all sprang from interlinked cultural origins that could trace their roots back through each successive empire. The ancient Persians experienced cultural mingling over time, such as the Mediterranean Hellenistic era, which brought the Greeks and Romans. Much later, the Muslim Arabs disrupted the last of the ancient empires and imprinted their new religion, Islam, across Greater Iran. But the Persian culture held firm for millennia, and after 5,000 years of imperial conquests, Iran retains the ancient identity of its first people.
