	Satrap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satrap was the name given to the governors of the provinces in ancient Median and Persian Achaemenid empires and in several of their heirs, as Sassanid and later hellenistic empires.
		The satrap was the head of the administration of his province, and found himself surrounded by an all-but-royal court; he collected the taxes, controlled the local officials and the subject tribes and cities, and was the supreme judge of the province before whose "chair" (Nehemiah 3:7) every civil and criminal case could be brought.
		The great usurper Darius I struggled with widespread rebellions in the satrapies, and under Artaxerxes II occasionally the greater part of Asia Minor and Syria was in open rebellion.

		It will be seen that the testimony of Herodotus does not agree with that of the Persian inscriptions as to the number and limits of the satrapies, even if we should admit that the inscriptions do refer to satrapies at all, when they name the countries which submitted to the rule of the Persian king.

		The aim is to slowly replace the traditional elites in the old satrapies with a new breed of genetically programmed neo-liberal politicians, who have been trained and educated in the United States.

		However, long after the advent of the eastern faith, a significant number of western Iranians apparently continued with their traditional practice of primary burial.
		In fact such is the weight of the evidence, that without prior knowledge of the religious laws, the archaeological data alone might have led one to assume that burial was the only method of the disposal of the dead under the Achaemenian and the Parthian Empires.
