The Cyrus Cylinder is one of the most famous objects to have survived from the ancient world. It was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform on the orders of Persian King Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) after he captured Babylon in 539 BC.

The cylinder is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to encourage freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. It was found in Babylon in modern Iraq in 1879 during a British Museum excavation.

  1. is all of this stuff true is every thing that we know about the king James bible bin manipulated I know some people thats so stubborn that there is not now ways too get them to believe it all ?

  2. 1Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
    2I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
    3And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
    4For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
    5I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

  3. 1:59 in the video, the hebrew script is incorrect. Someone did not do their research.
    It should read מְנֵ֥א מְנֵ֖א תְּקֵ֥ל וּפַרְסִֽין׃ (MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN)
    Hebrew is read right to left

  4. Thank God his cylinder wasn't in the Baghdad museum. It along with nearly everything else inside was either destroyed or stolen, with US military within a stone's throw.
    Even though I know what the lady and gentleman's words were – still I cannot imagine their grief-stricken horror as this took place – and afterward.
    All that happened in nearly every country that has endured severe upheaval, was because of US foreign policy.

  5. The Mediterranean is a body of water, which borders Spain Italy Greece Turkey and other countries. @ 6:21.. Libya is a place/land on the continent of Africa and it also borders the Mediterranean Sea. This is a travesty of facts and history. The Indus valley in modern day Pakistan is not labeled as being "Central" Arabian Sea.

  6. Isn't that amazing that the average American only knows about Russia from the Revolution onward with Lenin and Trotsky etc. However, even well educated American college graduates do not even get most of the advent of the USSR and the fall of the Russian monarchy correct in the 20th century. Not blaming, just believe it may not be even possible. When both USSR and USA are practicing propaganda against each other supposedly even in the schooling system down to Kindergarten, you have to question the official narrative. Isn't the official narrative of arch enemies more than likely to be false as proven by modern world history in each of our own lifetimes. So there literally can be no way the Greeks or Romans could have given even a partially accurate view of the Persians, and by design every remnant was wiped clean off the face of the earth until modern times when the remnants of the Greek/Roman system uncover more evidence of the "perfect" history for university professors and priests of the churches of the world.

  7. I watched this a couple of times so far, this is my third time, and it keeps sinking into my head that it was extremely fortuitous to make this Cyrus scroll find. Almost too fortuitous. We have a detailed account of Persia all second hand except for this roll. Seems kind of fishy to have so many details about the defeated army second hand by the Greeks and Romans. We don't have any of that data from WWII on the Nazi's, except from the European union and the former German super state itself. Everything is completely subjective when it comes to history based upon your opinion of the dating system and the authenticity of the artifacts. When it is coming to light now that over 80% of historical artifacts are faked on purpose to make money, the veracity of any find needs to be questioned to the extreme. If anything doesn't mesh up there needs to be a concise explanation.

    Here historians are claiming the Cyrus scroll is at odds with the Biblical translations, well then you are gonna have to come out an say it, that one or the other is forged. You can't say it was all just a misunderstanding when the Bible itself claims the scriptures can't be altered according to the fundamentalists. However, if you appeal to Jermiah 8:8 you will find this is not the case. The case in Jermiah 8:8 is that the original scriptures will be forged to support the priest class and teaching class of the nature of the world, in this case either the Jewish priesthood who wrote the bible,with the exception of the Jewish disciples who wrote most of the new testament, or the archeologists right here are lying straight up and forging history right in front of you. Call out the Jewish priests or the University professors, they both have a vested interest in the non agreeance of these texts vs. artifacts.

  8. There is a reason why all the Kings of the time referred to Cyrus "King of all kings", its only because Persia is Iran, they either ignore Persian history or lie and portray it in a negative manner. Reality was the world at the time was truly jungle rules all around the world, and wherever Cyrus conquered he freed/banned slaves/slavery, and invented currency, so people of all colour and belief could work for money and have paid holiday, human rights and the list goes on including connecting Asia and and Europe by a bridge. The current world still works with the same principles from what the Persian culture created. In the movie 300 persians are portrayed as barbaric merciless killers.

  9. Why give a shit what the Sumerians wrote? why is it that all of the oldest text come from brown people countries? why are there no Celtic texts that predate or are within the same time period as

    The Rigveda
    The Epic of Gilgamesh
    The Samaveda
    The Pyramid Texts

    My hypothesis is that the Celtics are from other planets…

  10. Wow! The British Museum steals other countries' treasures and broadcasts it to the world. And not only that, but they try to whitewash it by claiming that it is evidence of the veracity of the bible.
