The Achaemenids
The Zagros Mountains region was settled by nomadic peoples from the north of the Caspian Sea around 800BC, who established small settlements. These peoples were part of a subgroup of the Indo-European peoples, classified as Indo-Iranian peoples or Aryans, and would later form the Achaemenid Empire, also known as the Medo-Persian Empire. The Medes, a tribe within this group, subjugated other Aryan tribes and established their main city, Ecbatana. In 612 BCE, the Medes, in alliance with Babylon, defeated the Assyrian Empire and established themselves as a major political and military power in Mesopotamia. The Medes conquered northern Mesopotamia, Armenia, and parts of Asia Minor, and were fighting against the Lydians when a solar eclipse occurred on the same day as the Battle of the Halys River, leading to a peace agreement. After the death of Cyaxares, his son Astyages became the ruler of the Medes and laid the foundation for a vast empire.
