 The Achamenides were one of the Persian tribes. The Persians were also one of the Aryan tribes.
From the Assyrian inscriptions it is clear that the Parsua were subordinates to them, from the time if Shalmaneser (731-713 B.C.) to the rule of Asarhaddon (662 B.C.). Herodotus, the Greek historian, wrote about the lineage of the Achaemenians. He believed the Parsua were Persians, who were divided into six tribes who lived in villages and cities, and four tribes who lived in tents.
