biblical finds: Cyrus's clay cylinder by ric Gustafson


Cyrus was the king of Persia  and reigned from 559 to 530 BC. At the time, his empire was the largest in the world. According to Ezra chapter 1, Cyrus returned Temple articles belonging to the Lord. This included more than five thousand items of silver and gold. A nine inch clay cylinder was discovered in present day Iraq. The cylinder read ' I am Cyrus'.
