Nothing is known about Achaemenes, the founder of the dynasty. Shortly after 700 BC, Teispes captured the city of Anshan and established himself as king. Anshan became an ally of Elam against Assyria, the world power at that time. In 639 BC, the Assyrians conquered the kingdom of Elam. To retain Anshan’s independence, Cyrus I sent his eldest son with a tribute to serve as a hostage of Ashurbanipal in the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. The crown prince perished in 612 BC when the Medes and Chaldeans joined forces to conquer Nineveh. Thus his younger brother, Cambyses I, became Anshan’s heir apparent.Mick Nultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770621126277620241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147097367992301830.post-82658392166145762112014-01-09T07:30:02.572-05:002014-01-09T07:30:02.572-05:00The Persian kings: Teispes, Cyrus I, Cambyses I, C...The Persian kings: Teispes, Cyrus I, Cambyses I, Cyrus the Great, Cambyses II, (Gaumata the usurper), Darius the Great, & Xerxes, 7th king of the dynasty.Mick Nultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770621126277620241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147097367992301830.post-9021235465850029012014-01-09T07:28:33.528-05:002014-01-09T07:28:33.528-05:00Xerxes was succeeded by his son Artaxerxes who san...Xerxes was succeeded by his son Artaxerxes who sanctioned the returns of Ezra & Nehemiah to Jerusalem. Six more members of the Achaemenid Dynasty ruled in Persia. Thus the closing prophecy refers to Alexander the Great and not Artaxerxes.
