Where did they come from, and how did theyinteract over a thousand years of ancient history, before the establishment of the Persian empire? The years 1500-500 BC represent an extraordinary period of internationalism. From the Aegean and Egypt, through Canaan, Syria and Anatolia, to Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq) and Iran. Ultimately this enormous region was unified by the kings of Persia who thus created the largest empire the ancient world had known.
