Persian Empire Culture

       The foods the persians ate was Beef with Fruit, Adas Bil Hamod (Lentils with Lemon Juice), Red Lentil Soup, Yalanchi (Tomatoes Stuffed with Rice), Ma'mounia (Wheat Pudding), Khubaz (Pita with Jelly), Kebabs, Kibbe Batata (Potato-Beef Casserole), and G'shur Purtaghal (Candied Citrus Peels). These are just the few dishes that I got from a site that was about food that they have in Iraq. Iraq was along time ago the middle of the Persian Empire.

   
        The Persian Empire's religion was Zoroastrianism. it is a belief where there is only one god named Ahura Mazdao . It was one man that started this religion. his name is Zoroaster. He said that it was impossible to have more than one god. There devil's name is Ahriman. it is believed that these two were fighting sense the beginning of time. There is also a sacred text in this religion called the Avesta.

     the Persians gained there art from other empires. their buildings took for ever to build.this is because every building was made out of compressed rocks or clay. But, when done they are beautiful. some of there buildings have there religion's art carvered on the sides and in side. A lot of the art had animals on it (like the golden cup on the right).
