Iran is the only nation in the world to have formally celebrated the 2500th anniversary of its foundation. The vast empire of Cyrus the Great, stretching from Asia Minor to central impression on the people of those regions, and Iran is regarded by historians to be the cradle of Western civilization. The fabled ruins of once splendid Persepolis rising out of the desert are a testimony to Persia's ancient glory, while the modern buildings of the prosperous capital evince the social and economic advance of the twentieth century.
(Persepolis, founded by Darius in 520 B.C.)
