Öz
The foundation of the Persian Empire, has an important place in ancient history.
With the foundation of the Persian Empire, in particular The Near East’s political
structure has been fundamentally changed. Informations about the emergence of this
powerful empire has survived through the cuneiform documents and works of
antiquity authors. According to cuneiform documents, Cyrus the Great, a descendant
of Persia (559‐530 B.C.) won the war against Astyages (585‐550 B.C.) King of Media
and it has laid the foundations of the Persian Empire in B.C. 550. Although the
differentiation of the information from the works of ancient authors by detailed
examination, they are similar in primary care. All these documents agreed that the most important point, Cyrus the Great’s is establishing the Persian Empire by winning
the war against Astyages King of Media. After conquering Ecbatana the capital of
Kingdom of Media, Cyrus the Great conquered Susa which had previously been the
capital of the Kingdom of Elam and afterward, had became one of the most important
city of Kingdom of Media.
