In London - After a long hesitation, finally decided the British Museum, the "Cyrus Cylinder (Cyrus Cylinder)" lent the National Museum of Iran, a Tehran exhibition as the core of exhibits, the exhibition was opened on September 12, will last four months. British Museum Craig (Neil MacGregor), said on Bloomberg this heritage "embodied the whole history of the Middle East."
This column can be traced to the era of the 6th century BC king of Persia during the reign of Cyrus the Great, has been excavated since 1872 and has been deposited in the British Museum. It is this heritage for the first time to leave the UK, although in 2006 the Iranian National Museum, "Forgotten Empire: Persia world" on a good show he had already lent matters. However, due to a subsequent outbreak of protests in Tehran, the voice of the British Museum at that time were not lending, but rather wait for the country's political problem is resolved.
Leaving things more complicated is the historical significance of this heritage is unclear. Since this column from the ruins of Babylon were discovered, scholars on the inscription of their meaning has not been able to reach consensus. Some historians believe that the inscriptions column reflects the world's first human rights charter, and some historians maintain that it is just a case of political propaganda on the inscription.
