The Aga Khan University auditorium came alive as ENT surgeon Dr Iftikhar Salahuddin started talking about the Persian empire – the emperors, the art and architecture and a contemporary Iran.
The lecture, Iran — the story of Emperors and Kings, was organised by AKU’s Sixth Sense Forum on Monday. While talking about art and the country’s culture, Dr Salahuddin said that Iran’s history started in the 6th Century BC when it became what was called the Persian empire. He claimed that it was Cyrus the great who established his dynasty in the area first. He added, that Cyrus was considered to be the first emperor of the world.
