This purim story seems like a mystery magical a long long time ago. The beginning of the purim story starts off by saying king Acheshvarosh ruled over 127 provinces. It then continues and goes on to tell his story. In the third year of his kingdom he made a party- diplomats came and officers to display his wealth, glory and possessions for 180 days. At the end he made another party for everyone in shushan, it was the last 7 days of the party. He showed his richness of everything so much that they drank out of gold goblins. Everyone was allowed to do what they wanted. Vashti had a party for all the women during the same time as the other party. She wanted to show how beautiful her wife was- sends 7 advisers to bring her. She refuses to go and Achshevorsh becomes furious.
An interesting fact about Acheshvaroh's is that Achshevorsh's palace can be compared to the Beit hamikdash. The word "Shushan Ha'bira" connects the city with yirushaliam, and Yirushaliam is near the Beit Hamikdash.
