My teacher said; we do not learn about Persia or the Persian Empire in Ancient-history-class because Persia has not contributed with anything to the modern World unlike Greeks or Romans. Has Persia really contributed with nothing to the modern World?

我的老师说;我们不会在古史课上学习波斯或波斯帝国,因为波斯没有像希腊人或罗马人那样对现代世界做出任何贡献。波斯真的对现代世界没有任何贡献吗?
