For this assignment we return to chapter two to revisit the Persian Empire and the Hebrews. The Persian Empire was formed by Cyrus the Great. It was one of the largest Empire of the ancient world, cosmopolitan, advanced, and wealthy. We will explore. some thesis statements by scholars about the importance of the religion of the Empire, as well as the importance and “greatness” of two of its Emperors, Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great (two very important historical figures for you to know). We will also learn about causes and effects of important developments, religious or infrastructure, to the Empire. When discussing the Hebrew people, who. develop into the Jewish people, it is important that we recognize the arguments made for their importance to world history 9those thesis statements again :)), which we will read about in our text and the websites. We will also note important people, such as Abraham, whose embrace of the God of the people will cause many effects.
