The opening of the celebrations of the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire took place on the 12th October 1971 in Pasargad, the ancient capital of the time of Cyrus the Great, the founder of a huge, humane and a peaceful Empire.

His Imperial Majesty pays homage to Cyrus the Great and leaves a wreath of flowers at his simple, but remarkable tomb.
His Imperial Majesty made the first speech of the celebrations:
“O Cyrus, great King, King of Kings, Emperor of the Achaemenians, monarch of the land of Iran. I, the Shahanshah of Iran, offer thee salutations from myself and from our nation.
“We are here to acclaim Cyrus, the Great, the immortal of Iran, the founder of the most ancient empire of the World; to praise Cyrus, the extraordinary emancipator of History; and to declare that he was one of the most noble sons of the Humanity.
“Cyrus, we gather today around the tomb in which you eternally rest to tell you: Rest in Peace, for we are well awake and we will always be alert in order to preserve your proud legacy.
“We promise to preserve forever the traditions of humanism and goodwill, with which you founded the Persian Empire: traditions which made our people be the carrier of message transmitted everywhere, professing fraternity and truth.”
A minute of silence was held in memory of Cyrus the Great after which the Imperial family and the guests returned to Persepolis...

This was the parade of soldiers dressed as Archemenian Soldiers (Persian Immortals)
The Tent city erected near Pasargade
This is the coin they minted especially that year. I have looked a lot for one of these but am still unable to get one. |
