Blog #1 Sasanian Empire

The Sassanian Persians ruled parts of western Asia from 224-641 CE. The founder of the empire was Ardashir I. The empire included Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Turkey, Iraq, Central Asia, Pakistan, Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula. The Empire was considered to be the most important period in Iran.

The fall of the Sasanian Empire split a lot of territories and created different cultural outlooks amongst the people but the formation of  Islam religion was one of the greatest.
