Скачать или смотреть Achaemenid & Sasanian Empires - Peoples Included & Excluded. Historian Explains (S1E11)

Were Achaemenids & Sasanians Iranian or Persian empires? Were ancient peoples of Ukraine an Iranian people? Was Ms. Mahsa Amini (a Kurdish woman from Iran) Iranian or Persian? She was murdered by the Islamic Republic of Iran in Sept. 2022.

I used to think there were two Persian empires before Islam - the Achaemenid and Sasanian. But my guest scholar in this episode disagrees. Also, contrary to other scholars, he doesn't think that Hellenism was a foreign element in the Middle East. He tells us about the Iranian National Identity, and why Persia's name was changed in the 20th century.

►Cyrus the Great:
c. 600 to Dec. 4, 530 BCE (aged 70, which is really old for that time)
reign: 550-530 BCE (~ 20 years)
He was the founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire - referred to as King of kings. The Achaemenids (550-330 BCE) are thought of as the first truly international empire (as opposed to more regional empires such as the Assyrians). For the purposes of this episode, what's interesting is that Cyrus was referred to as the King of the Persians.
►Shapur I:
2nd Sasanian King. Reign: Apr. 12, 240 to May 270 CE
Shahanshah (King of kings) of the Sasanian Empire (224-651 CE).
In inscriptions of his victories over the Romans, Shapur I states "I am the lord of the Empire of Iranians".
It was during the Sasanian that the term Eranshahr gained usage. But my guest scholar doesn't fully subscribe to this story, and explains why in our conversation.
