Abstract

The Persian Empire was a multi-faceted region developed over many centuries and incorporating a diverse population and culture. Upon the conquest of the Arabs and the subsequent advent of Islam in the 7th century C.E., many of these elements, including architecture, art, burial methods, and religious belief systems, underwent a transition. In this wiki, members will demonstrate the changes Persia went through due to Arabic influence and provide a brief history of the periods prior.
