Cassandane was a Persian noblewoman and the "dearly loved" wife of Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Great and Cassandane were known to love each other very much. Cassandane said that she found it more bitter to leave Cyrus than to depart her life. Cyrus loved his Persian Queen Cassandane dearly and when she died the entire empire observed a great mourning. Cyrus never recovered from the grief of losing her and stayed inactive for nearly a decade after her death. Cyrus the Great wrote the first Human Rights Charter. United Nations uses the Cyrus Cylinder as a pillar of the earliest declaration of human rights.

In all sources, Cyrus the Great is described as a good king. The great historians such as Will Durant, Richard N. Frye, Arthur Upham Pope, Professor Patrick Hunt, Walther Hinz, Heidemarie Koch, Charles Freeman, etc, etc, and the Great western philosophers, such as Hegel, Nietzsche, etc, etc, all respected and praised Cyrus the Great, the Persian empire and Persia. Xenophon respected and praised Persia and Cyrus the Great. " Many historians as well as writers on human rights, have supported the interpretation of the Cyrus Cylinder as a human rights charter. " Cyropaedia by Xenophon is about Cyrus the Great of Persia/Iran, the founder of the Persian Achaemenid Empire. The Cyropaedia has been consulted as a standard reference of statesmanship by a number of prominent leaders in world history. Many Classical and Western statesmen knew well of Cyrus and his adaptive policies of governance by way of the Cyropaedia.

Thank you for making a video on Cyrus the Great! Very much appreciated. However, the portion covering Cyrus's early life was based on the mythical story told by the Greeks, not the historical account. Also, the battles weren't covered in great depth and detail like the videos for other rulers such as Alexander, Julius Caesar, etc... Additionally, there wasn't much mentioned about the genius administrative system he laid the foundations for which was based on a religious tolerance unlike any other empire that preceded it.

You just imagine it how great and respected a person should be that people talk about him this way after more than 2500years,isn't that Immortality?

Alexander then went to Pasargadae; and this too was an ancient royal residence. Here he saw also, in a park, the tomb of Cyrus; it was a small tower and was concealed within the dense growth of trees. The tomb was solid below, but had a roof and sepulchre above, which latter had an extremely narrow entrance. Aristobulus says that at the behest of the king he passed through this entrance and decorated the tomb; and that he saw a golden couch, a table with cups, a golden coffin, and numerous garments and ornaments set with precious stones; and that he saw all these things on his first visit, but that on a later visit the place had been robbed and everything had been carried off except the couch and the coffin, which had only been broken to pieces, and that the robbers had removed the corpse to another place, a fact which plainly proved that it was an act of plunderers, not of the satrap, since they left behind only what could not easily be carried off; and that the robbery took place even though the tomb was surrounded by a guard of Magi, who received for their maintenance a sheep every day and a horse every month. But just as the remoteness of the countries to which Alexander's army advanced, Bactra and India, had led to numerous other revolutionary acts, so too this was one of the revolutionary acts. Now Aristobulus so states it, and he goes to record the following inscription on the tomb: "O man, I am Cyrus, who acquired the empire for the Persians and was king of Asia; grudge me not, therefore, my monument." Onesicritus, however, states that the tower had ten stories and that Cyrus lay in the uppermost story, and that there was one inscription in Greek, carved in Persian letters, "Here I lie, Cyrus, king of kings," and another written in the Persian language with the same meaning.

He got back the valuables that belonged to Hebrews from the Babylonians. The Persians were first people to believe in one God. He deserves the title "Great"

" what's extraordinary about Cyrus, is that he appears as a paragon of princely statesmanship in the two pillars of Western cultures, that is the Roman tradition and the Bible". Cyrus freed nations enslaved by the Babylonians and returned their various gods to their shrines. The friends and enemies respected and praised Cyrus the Great. The Bible called Cyrus the Great "Messiah". The Babylonians welcomed Cyrus the Great as a liberator. " In the 18th Century, that model of religious tolerance based on a state with diverse cultures, but no single dominant religion, became a model for the founding fathers. People like Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and became the third president of the United States, had to rely on Xenophon's Cyropaedia as a reference for the life and leadership of the Persian king. No European state managed to build tolerance into the structure of the state, the importance of Cyrus to those who wrote the constitution of the United States. These acts, which have been interpreted as allowing freedom of worship and repatriating deported people, have earned Cyrus a reputation as an enlightened monarch". Xenophon wrote on how Cyrus ruled a diverse society based on tolerance.

Durant, 1942, page 353; Durant, Will (1942) The Story of Civilization:(Part One): Our Oriental Heritage. New York: Simon & Shuster Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'. The empire over which Cyrus ruled was the largest the Ancient World had ever seen and maybe to this day the largest empire ever. "

The Cyrus cylinder has nothing to do with human rights, and it shouldn't be seen as the world's first declaration of human rights. While the Achaemenid empire was relatively tolerant towards other religious and cultural practices (unlike, for example, the Sassanids which often repressed deviant religious and cultural practices with brute force), it had no notion of human rights. Frankly any document prior to the 16th-17th century should not be considered a human rights document, even the Magna Carta. The Cyrus cylinder mostly served to legitimize his kingship over newly conquered Babylon.

I am from Shiraz where Cyrus tomb is, very simple structure, even Alexander did not destroy the tomb, while Persepolis Darius's palace is walking distance and was burned by Alexander. Cyrus freed all slaves and let people practice their own religions, even built their temple. Destruction, slavery and oppression was against his religion. He was obligated to all nations not just his own nation. According to U.S sources, Cyrus model of ruling the nations was an inspiration for writing American constitution.

Cyrus and the Achaemenid empire deserve far more recognition. After reading Xenophon's Education of Cyrus, I wondered why this man isn't celebrated like Alexander or Julius Caesar. Without Western bias, he would be the greatest king that has ever lived.

Also around 100 years ago some countries wanted Iran oil and more countries wanting to mess with Iran. sadly with the revolution things between Iran and US have been bad. It's nice that after so many invasions, those empires brought their culture and language to Iran but still Iran has culture although some Arabic words are in the language and some words sound European too.

Cyrus was great not due to his military genius or rulling skills, but for his respect for human rights and refusal of slavery. However, we often hear the term great is given to warlords such as Alexander, Chenghiz khan, Napoleon ... I personally take pride in refusal of slavery in Persian culture. Perhaps the only major civilization that did not build on the shoulders of the slaves and yet made it.

Birthday Celebrations, Animation, Guitar, and Dessert were invented by Persians. The Persians were the first to develop the practice of lavish celebrations of one's birthday, as well as the art of animation for entertainment and the custom of having dessert after a meal. Birthday celebrations originated (as they did in other cultures) with a festival honoring the kings's birth but gradually spread to members of the nobility and then the lower classes. In ancient Persia, birthdays were celebrated with special foods the guest of honor would enjoy and a cake for dessert with candles. The Persians eventually expanded the concept to include everyone and so invented the birthday party. These celebrations included special foods prepared for the guest of honor and a cake served after the meal with lighted candles on it. Entertainment might have included animation - as evidenced by artifacts such as a cup which, when rapidly turned, showed a goat leaping in the air to snatch leaves from a tree - and music featuring vocals accompanied by stringed instruments such as the cartar (also known as the tar) and the "Setar", the precursor of the modern-day guitar. The practice of serving dessert after a meal was not reserved only for birthdays but followed every day's evening meal. The cake itself might have been specially prepared for the event but the practice of eating sweets or some other sort of treat after dinner was common after every evening meal. The birthday party and concept of dessert both highlight the Persian cultural value of enjoying life while one can and making each day a celebration. www.worldhistory.org/article/1505/inventions--innovations-of-ancient-persia/ Modern animation has taken a huge jump, but the concept goes back to the bronze era in ancient Persia. Discovery of earthenware goblet in the burnt city, which is believed to be about 5200 years. Sequences of drawings are directed of a goat jumping toward a twig and eating the leaves. In music and entertainment, stringed instruments an example of Cartar (also referred to as tar ) and sestar accompanied vocals featured. Sestar is the precursor of the modern-day guitar. topancienthistory.com/persian-empire-facts-inventions/history/

The Persian civilization also invented some musical instruments which are still in use and guitar is one of them. In the Persian civilization era, some people made a very simple version of a guitar named 'Tar' which was made from a wooden box along with some strings attached. It worked like a small music system and produced music when strings were plucked in a specific manner. This was a great invention at that time because there were only a few musical instruments that time. After some time, the empires became addicted to the guitar music and the musicians used to play it before the empires on a regular basis. It was considered a sign of comfort and relaxation. Today, we have a lot of guitar types which produce different types of music with different tones. All of these guitars are the advanced versions of the original guitar made by the Persian civilization. So we can say that the Persian people worked a lot in the music field too.

" what's extraordinary about Cyrus, is that he appears as a paragon of princely statesmanship in the two pillars of Western cultures, that is the Roman tradition and the Bible". Cyrus freed nations enslaved by the Babylonians and returned their various gods to their shrines. The friends and enemies respected and praised Cyrus the Great. The Bible called Cyrus the Great "Messiah". The Babylonians welcomed Cyrus the Great as a liberator. " In the 18th Century, that model of religious tolerance based on a state with diverse cultures, but no single dominant religion, became a model for the founding fathers. People like Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and became the third president of the United States, had to rely on Xenophon's Cyropaedia as a reference for the life and leadership of the Persian king. No European state managed to build tolerance into the structure of the state, the importance of Cyrus to those who wrote the constitution of the United States. These acts, which have been interpreted as allowing freedom of worship and repatriating deported people, have earned Cyrus a reputation as an enlightened monarch". Xenophon wrote on how Cyrus ruled a diverse society based on tolerance.

People of Iran are still very offended because of that movie And yes, Iran's goverment doesn't give a damn about other countries ruining or stealing our history Even Kazakhstan, made a moviecabout this Herodotus legend called tomyris They could have at least made that movie about Herodotus claims But no They not only changed everything Herodotus said and showed Cyrus as a blood thirsty selfish tyrant but also showed people of Iran and Babylon as poor people and also showed Babylon as a poor city They even think Scythians were turks (which they weren't, they were nomad Indo-European or Iranic people) And the director said he made this movie based on what Herodotus said and ignored the part that Herodotus mentions that there are several stories about Cyrus's death And no other historian even mentioned tomyris (Ctesias story sounds more logical if you ask me) I have nothing against turks but i hate it when some people just steal or change history into their own benefit Kazakhstan is even trying to steal Farabi Not the first time Azerbaijan tries to steal Ganjavi and Safavids and Turkey tries to steal Maulana Rumi from Iran's History Even with all of the evidence that proves that all of them were Iranian Btw, may i ask where are you from ?

@Mith Ra Man that's amazing And you don't need to apologize buddy I enjoyed reading your comment and i enjoy these kind of conversations I've watched some videos about India's history and i want to learn even more Ashoka the great became one of my favorite kings in history recently His reign was truly a golden age for India He even personally checked if his people (i mean normal citizens like farmers) were having a good life Both Iran and India have fascinating history and need more attention I'm glad that some of our Zoroastrian ancestors were able to go to India and have a peaceful life there away from those fanatic muslim arabs Arabs tried to conquer India and make indians convert to islam too, right ? If i'm not wrong, Indians had several battles with the muslim arabs Another interesting thing is that it wasn't the only time that Persians had to emigrate to India After Mongol and Temurid invasions, some Persian poets, scientist, philosophers, artist and architects (those who survived or weren't captured by invaders) needed a peaceful place away from all those destructions and so they moved to India Still, that wasn't the last time either When the Safavids took power in Iran, many poets poems weren't appreciated in the Safavid's court or even in the entire country Again, Persian poets moved to India where their works were much more appreciated They gained fame and wealth there and some of them went back to Iran Even during the Ghaznavid rule, unlike the Ghaznavid sultan, Indian kings seems to have liked Ferdowsi's Shahname book

He is mentioned as Zulqarnain (King with two horned crown) in Quran along with his 3 expeditions mentioned in the video and is mentioned as one of the most pious leaders in history and is said that He believed in only ONE TRUE GOD who Created This Universe and Everything in it ,We people of Abrahmic Faith respect and love him.❤️

Iran is a jewel of civilization in the ancient world and has many wonders in the culture of this monotheism. There is no one who does not read and study the history of Iran ... They respect and respect every ethnic group or race. In this religion, I see humanity as superior to religion. Cyrus is a clear example of this truth ... He was a human being, yes, a human being. 🛡👑🇮🇷👑🛡

This part of history deserves a season

For me, Cyrus the Great is the greatest emperor in human history. Cyrus the Great is the pride of humanity. " what's extraordinary about Cyrus, is that he appears as a paragon of princely statesmanship in the two pillars of Western cultures, that is the Roman tradition and the Bible". Cyrus freed nations enslaved by the Babylonians and returned their various gods to their shrines. The friends and enemies respected and praised Cyrus the Great. The Bible called Cyrus the Great "Messiah". The Babylonians welcomed Cyrus the Great as a liberator. " In the 18th Century, that model of religious tolerance based on a state with diverse cultures, but no single dominant religion, became a model for the founding fathers. People like Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and became the third president of the United States, had to rely on Xenophon's Cyropaedia as a reference for the life and leadership of the Persian king. No European state managed to build tolerance into the structure of the state, the importance of Cyrus to those who wrote the constitution of the United States. These acts, which have been interpreted as allowing freedom of worship and repatriating deported people, have earned Cyrus a reputation as an enlightened monarch". Xenophon wrote on how Cyrus ruled a diverse society based on tolerance. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the great western philosopher, in his work "The Philosophy of History" introduces Persians as the "first historical people" in history. George W.F. Hegel. The Philosophy of History : " The Persian Empire is an empire in the modern sense - like that which existed in Germany, and the great imperial realm under the sway of Napoleon; for we find it consisting of a number of states, which are indeed dependent, but which have retained their own individuality, their manners, and laws. The general enactments, binding upon all, did not infringe upon their political and social idiosyncrasies, but even protected and maintained them; so that each of the nations that constitute the whole, had its own form of constitution. As light illuminates everything - imparting to each object a peculiar vitality - so the Persian Empire extends over a multitude of nations and leaves to each one its particular character. Some have even kings of their own; each one its distinct language, arms, way of life and customs. All this diversity coexists harmoniously under the impartial dominion of Light ... a combination of peoples - leaving each of them free. Thereby, a stop is put to that barbarism and ferocity with which the nations had been wont to carry on their destructive feuds. " Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'. The empire over which Cyrus ruled was the largest the Ancient World had ever seen and maybe to this day the largest empire ever. "

Beautiful content and really perfect. Thank for this good information about cyrus the great

William James (Will) Durant (1885-1981): " The first principle of his (Cyrus the Great) policy was that the various peoples of his empires would be left free in their religious worship and beliefs…Instead of sacking cities and wrecking temples he showed courteous respect for the deities of the conquered, and contributed to maintaining their shrines…he accepted indifferently all religions, and-with much better grace-honored all the gods." Durant, 1942, page 353; Durant, Will (1942) The Story of Civilization:(Part One): Our Oriental Heritage. New York: Simon & Shuster Professor Patrick Hunt "If you are looking at the greatest personages in History who have affected the World, 'Cyrus the Great' is one of the few who deserves that epithet, the one who deserves to be called 'the Great'.
