This is a story about a land known by two names. The first is Persia: ancient, mysterious, a place of adventure, of mighty temples and palaces built by powerful kings. A land of unimaginable beauty. The second is Iran: proud, isolated, defiant of outside interference. But behind these names lies the story of a complex and fascinating people, culture and history. Iran’s modern politics has obscured the glories of her Persian past, and the West’s understanding of its people is now entirely driven by the Islamic revolution that turned the country into a byword for radical Islam. From labyrinthine bazaars to Persepolis - the seat of Persia’s ancient kings - to a temple where a holy fire has burned for 1,000 years, broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed takes viewers on a remarkable journey to places rarely seen. Along the way, she will tell an extraordinary story.

Since Ayatollah Khomeini brought revolution to Iran in 1979, the country has become a byword for radical Islam. Western documentary teams are seldom given access, but broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed has been given a rare opportunity to discover Iran’s rich, colourful culture and extraordinary history. In this first episode, Samira journeys to places rarely seen by western audiences to reveal how the Persian Empire was born, the mysterious writing of its early people and how Iran’s powerful kings built a vast empire that became the envy of the ancient world.
