Since God Almighty hath appointed me to be king of the habitable earth, I believe that he is that God which the nation of the Israelites worship; for indeed he foretold my name by the prophets, and that I should build him a house at Jerusalem, in the country of Judea.

Accordingly, when Cyrus read this, and admired the Divine power, an earnest desire and ambition seized upon him to fulfill what was so written; so he called for the most eminent Jews that were in Babylon, and said to them, that he gave them leave to go back to their own country, and to rebuild their city Jerusalem, and the temple of God, for that he would be their assistant, and that he would write to the rulers and governors that were in the neighborhood of their country of Judea, that they should contribute to them gold and silver for the building of the temple, and besides that, beasts for their sacrifices.

Cyrus was praised in the Tanakh Isaiah However, there was Jewish criticism of him after he was lied to by the Cuthites , who wanted to halt the building of the Second Temple. The historical nature of this decree has been challenged. Professor Lester L Grabbe argues that there was no decree but that there was a policy that allowed exiles to return to their homelands and rebuild their temples.

He also argues that the archaeology suggests that the return was a "trickle", taking place over perhaps decades, resulting in a maximum population of perhaps 30, Davies called the authenticity of the decree "dubious", citing Grabbe and adding that J. Briend argued against "the authenticity of Ezra 1.

Briend, in a paper given at the Institut Catholique de Paris on 15 December , who denies that it resembles the form of an official document but reflects rather biblical prophetic idiom. He also wrote that "appeals to Marduk in the cylinder and to Yahweh in the biblical decree demonstrate the Persian tendency to co-opt local religious and political traditions in the interest of imperial control.

Some contemporary Muslim scholars have suggested that the Qur'anic figure of Dhul-Qarnayn is a mythological representation of Cyrus the Great. Cyrus founded the empire as a multi- state empire governed by four capital states; Pasargadae , Babylon , Susa and Ecbatana.

He allowed a certain amount of regional autonomy in each state, in the form of a satrapy system. A satrapy was an administrative unit, usually organized on a geographical basis. A ' satrap ' governor was the vassal king, who administered the region, a 'general' supervised military recruitment and ensured order, and a 'state secretary' kept the official records. The general and the state secretary reported directly to the satrap as well as the central government.

During his reign, Cyrus maintained control over a vast region of conquered kingdoms, achieved through retaining and expanding the satrapies. Further organization of newly conquered territories into provinces ruled by satraps, was continued by Cyrus's successor Darius the Great. Cyrus's empire was based on tribute and conscripts from the many parts of his realm. Through his military savvy, Cyrus created an organized army including the Immortals unit, consisting of 10, highly trained soldiers.

Cyrus's conquests began a new era in the age of empire building, where a vast superstate , comprising many dozens of countries, races, religions, and languages, were ruled under a single administration headed by a central government. This system lasted for centuries, and was retained both by the invading Seleucid dynasty during their control of Persia, and later Iranian dynasties including the Parthians and Sasanians. I am an Iranian, a descendant of Cyrus the Great. This emperor proclaimed at the pinnacle of power 2, years ago that he "would not reign over the people if they did not wish it".

He promised not to force any person to change his religion and faith and guaranteed freedom for all.

The Charter of Cyrus the Great should be studied in the history of human rights. Cyrus has been known for his innovations in building projects; he further developed the technologies that he found in the conquered cultures and applied them in building the palaces of Pasargadae. He was also famous for his love of gardens ; the recent excavations in his capital city has revealed the existence of the Pasargadae Persian Garden and a network of irrigation canals. Pasargadae was a place for two magnificent palaces surrounded by a majestic royal park and vast formal gardens; among them was the four-quartered wall gardens of " Paradisia " with over meters of channels made out of carved limestone , designed to fill small basins at every 16 meters and water various types of wild and domestic flora.

The design and concept of Paradisia were exceptional and have been used as a model for many ancient and modern parks, ever since. The English physician and philosopher Sir Thomas Browne penned a discourse entitled The Garden of Cyrus in in which Cyrus is depicted as an archetypal "wise ruler" — while the Protectorate of Cromwell ruled Britain. So nobly beautifying the hanging Gardens of Babylon, that he was also thought to be the author thereof. One of the few surviving sources of information that can be dated directly to Cyrus's time is the Cyrus Cylinder Persian: It had been placed in the foundations of the Esagila the temple of Marduk in Babylon as a foundation deposit following the Persian conquest in BC.

It was discovered in and is kept today in the British Museum in London. The text of the cylinder denounces the deposed Babylonian king Nabonidus as impious and portrays Cyrus as pleasing to the chief god Marduk. It describes how Cyrus had improved the lives of the citizens of Babylonia, repatriated displaced peoples and restored temples and cult sanctuaries. In the s the Shah of Iran adopted the Cyrus cylinder as a political symbol, using it "as a central image in his celebration of years of Iranian monarchy.

The United Nations has declared the relic to be an "ancient declaration of human rights" since , approved by then Secretary General Sithu U Thant , after he "was given a replica by the sister of the Shah of Iran ". Neil MacGregor , Director of the British Museum, has stated that the cylinder was "the first attempt we know about running a society, a state with different nationalities and faiths — a new kind of statecraft.
