Excuse my ignorance, do you have more details on this?

The Persian empire did not exist until round about 550 BCE.
Thus, the upthread statement,

Is somewhat nonsensical: 5000 years ago, Persia did not exist. I suppose we could be talking about whatever existed in that locale of the world around 3000 BCE. But that's what they're saying: "what do you mean, 'in ancient Persia, 5000 years ago', Persia did not exist then".
Persia, if anything, is a region of the earth, a chunk of land, in the same way Mesopotamia is. Saying it "didn't exist" at a specific point in time is fairly meaningless and the term was mostly used by greek/westerners to refer to the general geographic area.
