 | | However, many scholars believe that polo originated among the Iranian tribes [1] sometime before Darius the Great (521–485 BCE) and his cavalry forged the Second Iranian Empire, the Achaemenid dynasty. |
 | | The first recorded polo match occurred in roughly 600 BCE between the Turkomans and Persian, with victory going to the Turkomans. |
