Description

The British Museum today houses the Cyrus Cylinder. It relates to how King Cyrus conquered Babylon in 539 b.c. It also informs how Cyrus arranged for the Babylonian captives to return home and restore their original religious traditions. Prior to the discovery of this cylinder, academics believed that the history described in 2 Chronicles and Ezra was a fabrication. The Cyrus Cylinder's finding provides confirmation that the biblical account of Cyrus's decree is genuine.
