Excellent! Very interesting.
I didn't come here to be lectured to by a bunch of....oh, wait, that's exactly why I'm here. Carry on!
@Aryan, THANK YOU for your comment because I keep seeing vids about how america was modeled after Cyrus Cylinder and that is so not true. There was never before, nor has there been since anyone like Cyrus the Great.
You would think in 2500 years, someone would have been able to do what he did. But as yet no one has even come close.
Lol.
Lol.
the "Christian community" says it all... such peoples' ideas are neither biblical nor accurate and yet they persist on calling themselves "Christians"..
King of Kings'! Not great above that. King of Kings' he was. Return his property back to his land barbarian thieves.
hmmmm put ink on it and roll it across something and it would work as a printer .
That was the idea except instead of ink and paper they just rolled clay on clay
Aryan, actually true,but Lincoln tried.. when Grant beat Lee round 1865. Slavery was abolished, the rebels were given their weapons back etc etc
But I do agree with you completely.
Starts @ 7:20
Thank you.
As in any old antique that is cracked or broken the kiss of death destroys it's worth.
DOROOD ~ JAVID SHAE SHAHAN CYRUS HAKAMANESH ~ IRAN ARIA MAN ~ KING OF KINGS ~ 2575 ~
Jaramshah Kiani salam brother
Shah was a Muslim.
Very low-quality presentation 'not oriented, bad powerpoint, doubtful discussion". I don't know why the researchers that study the history of Iran are not good enough.
i go with u, best is go with the original i love irvin Binkel and how he explains history...
Because they don’t want to admit how important Persia was to the known world and it’s immense contention to world history and human civilization. Look up Jason Reza Jorjani and, Robert Sepehr the information they provide about origins of Persia and history is very interesting and rich.
This is the same Cyrus in the Bible, this is really good find.
This must be the longest intro to a lecture i've (not) seen.
I’m going to play the devils advocate for a moment. Too much of anything is bad, even liberation. Liberating everyone would cause people to starve 😄. Just nit picking lol What race was Cyrus? Thanks for sharing Professor I never knew about them!
Cyrus was Babylonian.
Cyrus was Persian/Iranian.
@@anirudh177 King of Kings'!
I would simply contest that Isaiah 44:28 and 45:1 are _actually_ referring to Cyrus since the Koine Greek of the LXX is the oldest _enduring_ biblical reference to "Cyrus" and unlike every other of the 19 reference to "King Cyrus" spelled Κυρυο Βασιλεως, the references to God's anointed in Isaiah 44:28 &45:1 are simply written Κυρυ.
Thank you 🙏
Long live Iran the oldest country in the world . Iranian have given everything to the world. Hats of to the greatest empire of all times in Iran. 👍👍👍👍
Start at 6:40....
Cyrus ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Top of the afternoon.
Regardless of the historical aspect of the seal it contains a parallel to the end of "genesis" as they all do.
Daniel, Nehemiah and Ezra actually
They had WAY more sense back then.
that cylinder doesn’t belong to the british museum. iran should have it. i’m not an iranian. i’n fact, i’m a critic of the iranian government.
I trust these artefacts far more in British hands than any other country. even still the cylinder was given fairly.
@@joshuagraham9217 so maybe you'd be willing to let the British keep our Constitution? Have you been to Iran? The Persians have a deep reverance of their land. Remember Alexander the not so great? He destroyed Persepolis. Burnt it to the ground. I don't recall Iran burning our embassy?
The Brits got it fair and square. They did the painstaking work for it. The cylinder is in its destined home. Run and tell dat
@@joshuagraham9217 what? this is the worst reply ive ever encountered in youtube. you should be ashamed of yourself.
How dare he use the "Bible" to back his theories. Pure bullshit.
