File talk:Ancient near east 540 bc.svg
Appearance
It should be noted, no one exactly knows when Cyrus campgained in the East, when he doubled the size of his empire. And by the way if he did, according to nearly all the sources that I know from, first of all, Ecbatana, and Gandhara should be more to the north, and the right of the map should be twice as big as what is shown. So the map is innaccurate, and that is why (plus other reasons that has to do with the text, not map), another user also put the inaccurate template for the battle.
