What was the religion of the Persians? How was it different than other early civilizations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ancient Persian religion was a polytheistic faith which corresponds roughly to what is known today as ancient Persian mythology. It first developed in the region known as Greater Iran (the Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia) but became focused in the area now known as Iran at some point around the 3rd millennium BCE. This region was already inhabited by the Elamites and the people of Susiana whose beliefs are thought to have influenced the later development of Persian religion.

The Persians arrived as part of a large-scale migration which included a number of other tribes who referred to themselves as Aryans (denoting a class of people, not a race, and essentially meaning “free” or “noble”) and included Alans, Bactrians, Medes, Parthians, Scythians, and others. The Persians settled near the Elamites in Persis (also given as Parsa, modern Fars), which is where their name comes from, and religious rituals were instituted shortly after.

How the early Persians worshipped their gods is unknown except that it involved fire and outdoor altars. It is thought to have resembled modern-day Zoroastrian rites in many respects. Inscriptions from the Achaemenid Persian Empire (c. 550-330 BCE) reference the kings' religious beliefs – which may have been the early polytheistic faith or the later Zoroastrian monotheism – and religion continued to play a central role in the later Parthian Empire (247 BCE-224 CE) and, to a much greater degree, in the Sassanian Empire (224-651 CE) which made Zoroastrianism the state religion.

When the Sassanian Empire fell to the invading Muslim Arabs in 651 CE, Persian religion was suppressed and adherents either converted, left the region, or continued the faith in secret. Zoroastrianism survived the conversion efforts, however, and is still practiced in the modern day while the early polytheistic faith was relegated to myth and lore. The present-day religion known as the Baha'i Faith, often referenced as a “Persian religion”, developed from an Islamic sect known as Babism and has no direct historical connection to the religious systems of ancient Persia.

What brought an end to the dominance of the Silk Road?

Answers

Answer:

An excess of sea routes

Explanation:

The Silk route was dominated by the Muslims in the Middle East, which often led in the clash and unrest between the two religion (Christians and Muslims). The increasing rates of the goods brought from Asia through land route (Silk route) became expensive. To solve this problem a new route was to be found. Therefore, the age of exploration began in Europe.  Vasco da Gama found his way to India and later for the Far East in the 15th century dealt a  blow to the Silk Route.

The speed of the sea transportation, the possibility to carry more goods, relative cheapness of transportation resulted in the decline of the Silk Road in the end of the 15th century. ... During the civil war in China the destroyed Silk Road once again played its big role in the history of China.

Explanation:

America should keep to itself cause if you live in America the policy will be only for America not anywhere else.

When deep fakes are used for memes and etc that’s ok but when it starts being rude to people that’s not ok. I don’t think it’s a major threat because people will know if someone did not say that but it is an issue

Answer:

The benefits were that the dam could produce electricity, irrigation for farmland, and jobs for workers during the Great Depression. The draw backs were that 81 people lost their falls mainly due to falling but also other deaths.

To construct the dam, they needed to clear thousands of acres of land including forests and people's home's which costed tens of million dollars. This also had a big affect on the Indians because they can't practice their ritual with salmon.

Fish including steel head, salmon, and more couldn't get up the Columbia River like they usually did before the construction of the dam. The workers had long shift hours and a short thirty-minute break lunch. Workers were so fatigued that if you took a rest you would have been replaced. In my opinion the dam was not "America's pride" and shouldn't be because of all the torture.

Their eyes met briefly as they rose to their feet. ((By the time they were standing, what their bodies had unknowingly sensed turned to sudden consciousness.))
