Persia (Iran) - First great superpower - YouTube
List of largest empires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On world population the Persian empire is the largest ever.
So your definition of a superpower (being the Cyrus-empire) is giving me a youtube video in which a man says 'the Persian empire is perhaps the first superpower'? The vid does have a catchy tune. I believe it's from the soundtrack of Requiem for a Dream.
The population number on wikipedia gives a reference to one Yarshater, author of an Iranian encyclopedia. How did he or she obtained this number? Do you know how?
