540 B.C.E. Ú INTERNATIONAL CYRUS DAY 

October 29 is The Cyrus Human Rights Day celebrated worldwide. Supporters of human rights cherish this day to mark the famous Cylinder of Cyrus which is known to be the first chapter of human rights in the world, it was the day Cyrus put an end to slavery and dictatorial oppression, his goal was to exterminate such inhuman traditions around the world. By doing so, the Persians pioneered the freedom of religion and culture of the minorities in the world. On this day Cyrus was officially crowned and on the day of the coronation, Cyrus read the Charter of Freedom out after he put on the crown with his hand in Marduk Temple. Cyrus observed a policy of tolerance and equality during his time that was the key to the creation of the greatest form of united nations and empire in the world. Cyrus the Great entered the city of Babylon in 539 B.C.E and liberated and protected the 50,000 Jews from captivity who were imprisoned by Babylonians and assisted them to migrate to their homeland and helped them to reconstruct their temple in Jerusalem at Persian taxpayer expense along with major fundings from his own royal treasury. Cyrus’s edict for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem marked a great epoch in the history of the Jewish people and he was later considered as a messiah sent by Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) as the patron and deliverer of the Jews. From these statements, it appears that Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, was the monarch under whom the captivity and slavery ended.
