Actually, it’s one of the most important documents in history.
Document?
Correct, it’s a document in the form of a cylinder. It’s the CHARTER OF HUMAN RIGHTS drafted by Cyrus the Great of the Persian Empire in 539 B. C. E.
Those rights included the freeing of all slaves, the freedom to choose your own religion, and racial equality.
Exactly what was needed in the multicultural, multiracial Persian Empire.
Humm, where have we heard about those rights before?
