Persia was an empire that dissolved more than 1000 years ago. The origin of the empire was Iran (today's name) but the empire extended up to Egypt on one side India on the other and all of the today's middle east and Turkey. The ruins of the capital of that empire or the most famous one ( they had more than one during their rein ) is near a city in Iran called Shiraz. I was there just a month ago; it is magnificent and tells much about the vastness of the empire and its history. By the way Babylon was also a part of that empire.

Iran. I think all the old names were prettier and more romantic; like Persia, and Thailand was Siam and China was Cathay, and Sri Lanka was Ceylon, I believe; although Sri Lanka is pretty, too.
