  Ancient Persia does not get nearly enough credit as it deserves.

  Darius was the ruler of thee greatest empire ever existed. 44% of the living population on earth lived under his rule. The infra structure he planned are still &nbsp;the basics for now days. But history shows that every thing has its ups and downs.
