Achaemenids

Rulers of Persia from 550-331 BC? Cyrus the great? Darius the great? Jews freedom...?
One of the greatest and most organized dynasties, in the whole world, through out the history. Achaemenids, had a very federative way to rule the country. They had a total respect for every man's belief. They never wanted to change anyone's idea. Specially, when they were capturing different lands. They had a moral respect for family and speically women. It was happening while the neighboring country, Greece, was experimenting homosexualism, raping, and incest.
It was in their time that they freed Jews from the pains and tortures of Babylonians. They helped Jews in building The Temple too.
They had a very organized way of ruling the country, which is so rare considering the ancient times.
They built the historic Persepolis, which was a huge complex of amazing buildings. It mostly used during Nowrooz. (the first day of spring, which is a holy day for the old and new Persians)
