<p><strong>Be sure to read <u>My Opinion</u> at the end of the news</strong></p>
<p><br />
After the British Museum denied to lend Iran the <strong>Cyrus
Cylinder</strong> for a showcase, the country cut all ties with
the Museum. <strong>Hamid Baqaii,</strong> Cultural
Heritage's Tourism and Handicrafts Organization Director, also a vice
president, announced this on Saturday during a press
conference.</p>
<p>Iran has been waiting for the cylinder on loan since 2005
after the <strong>National Museum of Iran</strong> loaned
the British Museum a number of artifacts for the "Forgotten Empire: The
World of Ancient Persia" show in London.</p>
<p>On January 16 the cylinder was to be put on display, but the
<strong>British Museum</strong> said there would be a
delay. The Museum said that there was a delay dueto discovery of two
cuneiform tablets in BM's collection of Babylonian art, which contain
similar passages to those found on the cylinder. But Iran preceives
this delay political, due to country's disputed
post-elections.</p>
<p>Baqaii said "The British Museum is not only a cultural place
but also is a political center. We intend to send letters to museum
officials around the world, suggesting that they take a lesson from our
experience. If they want to collaborate with the BM, they must receive
the approval of the <strong>British Ministry of Foreign
Affairs</strong> beforehand in order to avoid any problems. They
are thirsty for cultural relations with Iran as a part of the great
human civilization. This break in relations will hurt their cultural,
research, and scientific complex."</p>
<p>The Cyrus Cylinder, a document issued by the Persian emperor
Cyrus the Great in the form of a clay cylinder inscribed in Akkadian
cuneiform script, is considered the world's first declaration of human
rights. The artifact was made after the Persian conquest of Babylon in
539 BC, when Cyrus overthrew and replaced the <strong>Babylonian
king Nabonidus</strong>, ending the Neo-Babylonian
Empire.</p>
<p>The cylinder's writing condemns Nabonidus as godless and
describes the victorious Cyrus as pleasing to
<strong>Marduk</strong>, the chief Babylonian god; and it
says that Cyrus improved Babylonian's lives, displaced people and
restored temples and cult sanctuaries.</p>
<p><strong>Hormuz Rassam,</strong> the Assyro-British
archaeologist, discovered the cylinder in 1879, in the foundations of
the Esagila, the main temple of Babylon.</p>

<p><br />
<strong><u>My Opinion<br /></u></strong></p>
<p>King Cyrus, king of Persia, is also mentioned in the Bible. He
rebuilt a temple for the Jews and was also pleasing to the God of the
Jews. Cyrus was just a popular guy.</p>
<p>I don't blame Iran for wanting to showcase a part of their
history that they can be proud of, as opposed to Islam's history in the
country. But I also believe that the artifact is probably safer at the
British Museum, since the Great Britain, for the most part, values
Biblical and historical artifacts, especially when the two
combine.</p>
