| Page Views: 1,314 | THE WORLD'S FIRST CHARTER OF HUMAN RIGHTS by sarahshm - last update: Jun 29, 2008 |
This clay cylinder is one of the most famous objects from ancient Persia. The Cyrus Cylinder is inscribed with a foundation inscription of Cyrus II (559-530BC) in Babylonian cuneiform. It was placed in the foundations of the city wall of Babylon soon after Cyrus’ conquest of the city in 539 BC, and was found in March 1879 at Amran, Babylon.
With its references to just and peaceful rule, and to the restoration of deported peoples and their gods, the Cyrus Cylinder has been seen as an early ‘charter of human rights.’ However, such a concept would have been alien to Cyrus and his contemporaries |
