>>19185502Achemaenid Persia was an Median/Elamite joint entity. Elamites basically conquered the Median Empire which had conquered large parts of Assyria. Assyrians were initially Elamites who migrated north out of Elam and into modern day Armenia and Kurdistan because they were displaced by the Medes (Indo-Iranian chads) If you want to know what Assurians looked like then Armenia is really New Assyria. The Persian Empire was really a tug of war between the Elamites and the Indo-Iranians over control of the Zagros when you boil things down.
