EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient artifact, known as the Cylinder of Cyrus the Great, is a testament to the historical significance of the conquest of Babylon by Cyrus II of Persia in 539 BC. The cylinder, made of baked clay and measuring approximately 11 inches in length, is cylindrical in shape with an interior inscription written in Akkadian cuneiform script. The exterior of the cylinder is adorned with images of the king in triumphant procession, signifying his victory over the Babylonian king, Nabonidus. The inscription on the interior of the cylinder provides a detailed account of Cyrus's military campaign and his peaceful assumption of the Babylonian throne. It describes how Cyrus, the king of Persia from 559-530 BC, was welcomed by the Babylonians who hailed him as their savior and liberator. The text also mentions the return of the exiled gods to Babylon and the restoration of their temples, emphasizing Cyrus's respect for the religious traditions of the conquered people. This ancient artifact, now housed in the British Museum in London, England, is a valuable source of information about the Achaemenid Empire and the political and cultural dynamics of the ancient Near East during the 6th century BC. The use of Akkadian cuneiform script, which was the dominant writing system in Mesopotamia at the time, further underscores the importance of Babylon and its cultural heritage within the broader context of Mesopotamian history.
