History[3]

Pasikhan is the remnant of the great empire of Pasikhan. Pesi Khan was the first great emperor of this ancient civilization, which is older than Egypt. Pesi Khan invaded Europe through the Tethys Sea and captured the wild tribes there and taught the ignorant Europeans how to live. The current civilization of Europe owes to the services of the Pasikhanian Empire.

Establishment

The earliest known mention of Pasikhan can be attributed to the renowned ancient Greek conqueror, Alexander the Great. In the old books found in Pasikhan, it's been said that Alexander proclaimed, "Pasikhan, its awe-inspiring splendor, akin to the majesty of my vast empire, evokes a sense of awe that defies mortal comprehension."

While it is unsubstantiated to claim Julius Caesar direct descent from a Pasikhan Emperor, The following quote, attributed to Julius Caesar in this context, focuses on his appreciation for heritage and power, "Through the bloodlines of mighty sovereigns, both past and present, my spirit resonates with the indomitable force and splendor of the Pasikhan Emperors. As an heir to their majestic legacy, I cherish the storied heritage that courses through the veins of my being."

1420 - 1650 A.D.

The zenith of the empire was reached during 1420 to 1650, signifying the most exceptional period of time. Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Nocilaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler were Pasikhanians living in Europe, who played a significant role in the advancement of knowledge.

Mythology[4]

Flag of the Great Pasikhan Empire

According to ancient texts recorded in the old books of Pasikhan, it is believed that the mythical ancient Norse weapon, Mjölnir, can be found within the borders of Pasikhan. These ancient accounts indicate that Mjölnir, the fabled hammer associated with the Norse god Thor, is rumored to have been hidden and preserved in Pasikhan throughout the centuries. Additionally, it is worth noting that the presence of this legendary weapon holds such significance to the people of Pasikhan that it is prominently portrayed in their national flag. Despite the prevalent belief and symbolization, it is important to acknowledge that no conclusive evidence has been discovered to definitively prove the existence or actual whereabouts of Mjölnir in Pasikhan. This information is drawn from historical records within the Pasikhan archives and represents an intriguing aspect of their cultural heritage and mythology.

Downfall

The Empire of Pasikhan met its demise following the death of Suleiman I (the last emperor of Great Pasikhan Empire). Suleiman I's passing marked a significant turning point in the empire's history, leading to a chain of events that ultimately led to its downfall. The reason for Pasikhan's failure can be attributed to a combination of factors: political instability, lack of a capable successor, and external pressures.

Following Suleiman I's death, a power vacuum emerged within the empire. The absence of a clear successor sparked a series of political struggles among the ruling elite, causing internal divisions and weakening central authority. Simultaneously, external pressures also played a role in the decline of Pasikhan. The absence of strong leadership and political instability created an environment that allowed neighboring powers to encroach upon Pasikhan's territories, ultimately leading to the empire's downfall.
