Sassanid were Kurds not Persians

Cyrus's mother was a Mede:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandane

The link you sent says she was only half median, so that would make Cyrus a quarter median. Though i liked the ''Asia filled with urin'' part

My mistake, but the point is Cyrus was related to the Medes, and frankly his empire wasn't the "beginning of the Persian empire", as historians have coined it. You could say in a way he was the last Median king, the Darius asshole changed everything.

I've heard very negative things about the Darius guy, he sounds like a typical modern persian

According to Hamma F Mirwaisi, Darius was possessed by Ahriman.
