The Sinhalese arrived in Sri Lanka late in the 6th century B.C., probably from northern India. Buddhism was introduced beginning in about the mid-third century B.C., and a great civilization developed at the cities of Anuradhapura (kingdom from circa 200 B.C. to circa A.D. 1000) and Polonnaruwa (from about 1070 to 1200).

A list of facts why Persians were high civillized people. This clip is an answer to the Hollywood movie 300 which showed us as monsters. Persian campaign started when Greeks attacked and burned border cities like Sard which were under protection of Persian Achaemenid Empire . By the way a few years after this war Persia and Sparta were the biggest ally in war against Greek Athen! Don't forget that! Once again, I respect Greeks and their history a lot. Greeks are very nice and fair people, just like Persians are.
