Science and Technology
Some of the most sound roads and ports
A predecessor to the Suez Canal, Darius the Great created a canal that connected the Red Sea to the Nile
Saith
King Darius: I am a Persian. Setting out from Persia, I conquered Egypt. I ordered this canal dug from the river called the Nile that flows in Egypt, to
the sea that begins in Persia.
When the canal had been dug as I ordered, ships went from Egypt through this canal to Persia, even as I intended. —Darius ISlide11

Government The
persian
government was built upon the Assyrian model. The system was more efficient and humane.Slide14
The empire was divided into twenty provinces, or satrapies. Each province was ruled by a governor called a satrap. The satraps ultimately we’re the eyes for the king.Slide15
The Persian empire was the first to attempt to govern many different racial groups primarily based on the principles of equal responsibilities and the rights for all people. The Persian empire provided the modern world with traits and values which the society today carries out.
The Government maintains the word only if the subjects paid their taxes and kept peace.Slide16
