Concord's Home Page (With Many Iran-Related Links)

On this site, you will find some links to Iran-related sites, as well as a little ancient history lesson through some excerpts and other useful links about Iran (or Persia).

The rise of the Persian empire has been regarded as one of the most momentous events in the history of the ancient world. In little more than a generation, beginning somewhere around 560 BC, an obscure tribal family of Asiatic origin became the creators of the first great universal empire of recorded history. One which incorporated vaster lands, more numerous peoples and more diverse cultures than its predecessors of Babylon, Egypt and Assyria.
