The First Charter of the Rights of Nations
- The First Declaration of Human Rights By
Cyrus The Great
Inscribed on a clay cylinder in cuneiform discovered in 1879 by Hormoz
Rasam in Babol and now
- in The British Museum.

. .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)
- 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).
