Empires from Persia

Hello and welcome to Empires from Persia!

POD
There are many PODs in this Timeline but I will focus on the main ones here. 1.The Medes rise and defeat Elam earlier. 2.Zarathustra/Zoroaster,after gaining a large following,not only converts the Medes but revolts against them.This revolt loses the Medes Media and Western Persia. 3.Cyrus faces heavier opposition by the Medes. 4.Cyrus and Zoroaster's Empires unite into the Persian Confederation.

Results
History becomes nearly unrecognizable as a result.
