The day Europe accepted the rule of Darius the Great

( Darius the Great The first ruler of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe)

Dariush Achaemenashi In 514 B.C(2528 years ago) He marched to Europe to suppress the Scythians of present-day southern Russia. "Ariyaramne" satrap "Cappadocia" by order Dariush to the island of Crimea - in today's Ukraine- He pushed forward and gave valuable reports to Dariush for this trip.
before Dariush Achaemenashi، Cyrus the Great and his son Kamboji had added vast parts of Asia and Africa to the soil of Iran and at that time Dariush If he wins, he could become the first ruler of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. military song Dariush Against the Scythians, in addition to the recognition of the political and military power of the Iranians in the Balkans, there were other motives such as taking parts of northern Greece and shortening the Scythians' hand from the northern and eastern borders.(:east) Iran and traveling to unknown lands.
Finally Dariush After receiving various reports from Susa to Asia Minor(:Asia Minor) He set out and advanced to "Bosphorus".. On the order of the emperor, "Mandrokeles" built a bridge from a ship on the Bosphorus. Dariush He thanked the architect "Samousi" for his work and gave him valuable suggestions. On the order of "Mandrocles" they drew a curtain of Darius the Great, which showed him leaning on the royal throne while his army was ready to cross the bridge.. After some time, he presented this work to the temple of the goddess Hera in his city.

The emperor ordered two stones to stand on the European bank of the Bosphorus(:established) Build from white marble. one with ancient Persian, Elamite and Babylonian inscriptions and one with an inscription in Greek. Herodotus reports: "In it, he mentioned the names of all the people he brought with him; And he brought with him all the people he commands.". Dariush To the "Ionians" - people of the eastern Mediterranean- He ordered them to advance with their fleets to the mouth of the Danube River and build a bridge over the river there, and he himself headed that way with ground forces..
Dariush Nowhere in Thrace was he faced with stability. In present-day Bulgaria, "Geths" - a type of Bulgarian people- They were stable, but the Iranian army broke this stability. Ioniaiha By the order of "Histiaios Mulati" they built a bridge from a ship; Above the river delta and at the bottom of the "Pruth" estuary.. Darius ordered them to guard the bridge and keep an eye on him for two months, and if he does not return after two months, they will remove the bridge and the fleet will return to the country..

Dariush He predicted that even if the Scythians avoided direct combat, he would still be able to return to the Danube at the appointed time.. It happened the same way. The Scythians used the scorched earth fighting technique. They avoided the battle, destroyed the pastures, and caused losses to the Iranian army in a fight and flight manner.. Nevertheless Dariush He traveled all over "Besarabi", but he should end his journey in "Dniester".. Hestiaeus had the song to destroy the bridge over the Danube, when the emperor returned just after two months.. It is said that he achieved some victories in this trip that allowed him to write in the later inscriptions.(:the next) He also mentions "the Scythians on the other side of the sea" among the people under his command.
Darius the Great Upon reaching "Byzantium", he gave the command of the army to his general "Bagabazosh" and asked him to conquer other parts of "Thrace" and then Macedonia, its eastern neighbor.. Therefore, two more satrapies were added to the territory of Achaemenid rule. The emperor spent the winter in Sardis, and here he appointed his brother Artafarnah to the satrapy of Lydia.. When "Baghabazosh" returned to Sard, in recognition of his services to the satrapy of "Arakhozia" - the name of an ancient part of present-day Kandahar- reached. In his place, "Hotane", one of Darius' helpers in killing Geomate and the conqueror of Samos, was assigned to command the Iranian forces on the shores of Asia Minor, and he conquered countless islands in the Mediterranean Sea..
Therefore, it should be said that the invasion of Skye was a great military action that the world had not seen such royal splendor at that time.. Also, not before that time, no commander had been able to travel that long distance from Karkheh to the Volga, and not after that could it appear in the minds of military commanders of the world.. Management and cooperation Dariush to be(: guide) After that, until the end of the Achaemenid period, the Scythians never came close to the borders of Iran. As a result, Darius was the first person who was able to rule large parts of the continent of Asia, Africa and Europe..
