Cyrus Cylinder
In 1879, when assyriologist Hormuzed Rassam was excavating in Babylon, the human rights cylinder, written in cuneiform letters by the Persian king Great Cyrus, was discovered. Known as the Cyrus Cylinder or Cyrus Scroll, this clay barrel-shaped artifact is the first script of human rights dating back to the sixth century BC.
What is the Cyrus Cylinder?
In 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, the king of the Persian Empire, conquered Babylon without fighting, then set the enslaved people free and let the deported Jews return home. Then, to bring justice to all the Babylonian people, he wrote the first human rights script on a clay tablet, now known as the Cyrus Cylinder. It is cylindrical, though some people know it as the Cyrus Scroll.
Due to the long centuries that have passed, the Cyrus Cylinder was broken into pieces when they discovered it in Iraq. It is now preserved in the British Museum. Nowadays, some artisans and companies make replicas of the human rights Cyrus Cylinder in different sizes for whoever cares about history and human rights.
