. .When my soldiers in great numbers peacefully entered Babylon... I did not allow anyone to terrorize the people...

I kept in view the needs of people and all its sanctuaries to promote their well-being... Freed all the slaves

I put an end to their misfortune and slavery (referred to 50,000 Jews and other religious minorities).

          

 

- Cyrus is admired as a liberator rather than a conqueror, because he respected the customs and religions of each part of his vast empire.
- The Cyrus Cylinder is from 2542 years ago; the start of Persian Calendar year can be based on this important significant document in the history of mankind which reminds us who we were and who we want to be.
- The Persian culture is the dedication to ethical and moral excellence which is based on three simple fundamental principles:
GOOD THOUGHTS, GOOD WORDS and GOOD DEEDS.

Cyrus The Great (590 BC-529 BC)
Complete English translation of The First Declaration of Human Rights By Dr. Darius Jahanian
On this historical turning point, by order of Cyrus, all the captive nationalities held as slaves for generations in Babylon were freed and the return to their homeland was financed. Among the liberated captives were 50,000 Jews held in Babylon for three generations whose return toward the rebuilding of  their temple in Palestine, a policy that was followed by Darius and his successors. Some of the liberated Jews were invited to and did settle in Persia. Because of such a generous act, Cyrus has been anointed in the Bible. He is the only gentile in the Bible, who has been titled Messiah, an is mentioned explicitly as the Lord's shepherd and his anointed (Messiah). Other references to Cyrus are attested in Isaiah 45:4
where Cyrus is called by name and given a title of honor; he is also called to rebuild the God's city and free His people (Is. 45:13) and is chosen, called and brought successful by God (Is. 48:14-15).
