	Achaemenid Empire - MSN Encarta
		The former kingdom of Elam extended across the Zagros Mountains, their kings controlling the region through two capital cities, Susa, now known as Shūsh, in Khuzestan, and Anshan, in Fars, and accordingly called themselves “Kings of Anshan and Shushan”.
		Around 1000 bc Anshan was abandoned, leaving a power vacuum in Persis that eventually allowed the rise of a new political power headed by the Persian nobility.
		The earliest Persian record, dating from the 7th century bc is a seal impression on clay, which bears the Elamite inscription: “I am Cyrus of Anshan, son of Teispes.” This Cyrus has been identified as Cyrus I, the grandfather of Cyrus II, who was also known as Cyrus the Great.

	Iransaga - Cyrus the Great, The Historical Account
		The founder of the Persian monarchy was Hakhamanish or Achaemenes, Prince of the tribe of Pasargadae; his capital was the city bearing the same name, ruins of which still exist, dating from the era of Cyrus the Great.
		No definite acts can be traced to Achaemenes, after whom the dynasty was named; but the fact that his memory was highly revered tends to prove that he did in truth mold the Persian tribes into a nation before they stepped onto the stage of history.
		He looked upon himself as the 'king of Anshan' and belonged to the ruling house of Persia, but Cyrus also had Median connections through his mother, whose father was supposedly Astyages, king of the Medes.

		Thus, the kingdom held by Tespes, that of Anshan and Parsa, had been divided between his two sons, the elder son (Aryaramna) getting the heartland, and the younger one (Cyrus I) receiving the mountain city of Anshan.
		Consequently, we can establish that Cyrus’ descent from Achaemens is a matter fabricated by Darius in order to legitimise his claim to the throne.
		Having established that, we can embark upon the tale of Gaumata, the Mogh, and his usurpation of throne by claiming to be Bardia, the younger son of Cyrus, who in fact was murdered by his older brother Cambyses prior to the latter’s campaign against Egypt.

		During the first part of the rule of the Simashki dynasty, Elam was under intermittent attack from Mesopotamians and Gutians, alternating with periods of peace and diplomatic approaches.
		They are identified by their use of the older title, "king of Susa and of Anshan", and by calling themselves "servant of Kirwashir", an Elamite deity, thereby introducing the pantheon of the highlands to Susiana.
		This pressure of immigrating Iranians pushed the Elamites of Anshan towards Susa, so that in the course of this period, Susiana became known as Elam, while Anshan and the Iranian plateau, the original home of the Elamites, were renamed Persia proper.

		The ruling dynasty of the Persians settled in Fars in southwestern Iran (possibly the Parsumash of the later Assyrian records) traced its ancestry back to an eponymous ancestor, Haxamanish, or Achaemenes.
		Traditionally, three rulers fall between Achaemenes and Cyrus II: Teispes, Cyrus I, and Cambyses I. Teispes, freed of Median domination during the so-called Scythian interregnum, is thought to have expanded his kingdom and to have divided it on his death between his two sons, Cyrus I and Ariaramnes.
