Cyrus The Geart King Of Persia (559-529 BC)

These are the Words of Cyrus at his Tomb:

"I am Cyrus, who founded the empire of the Persians.
Grudge me not therefore, this little earth that covers my body."

Cyrus conquered most of the fertile crescent and ended the
"Babylonian Captivity" of the Hebrews.

He overthrew the Median rulers, conquered the kingdom of Lydia in
546 BC and that of Babylonia in 539 BC and established the
Persian Empire as the preeminent power of the world.

His son and successor, Cambyses II, extended the Persian realm
even further by conquering the Egyptians in 525 BC. He died in an
Egyptian campaign.

Darius I, who ascended the throne in 521 BC, pushed the Persian
borders as far eastward as the Indus River, had a canal constructed
from the Nile to the Red Sea, and reorganized the entire empire,
earning the title Darius the Great.

Conquered Egypt but was alcoholic and was killed in a coup
led by other family members.

Tomb Of Cyrus At Pasargad:

by the way which led up to the tomb, a small building had been
constructed for the Magi who guarded it, a duty which had been
handed down from father to son ever since the time of
Cyrus' son, Cambyses. They had a grant from the King of a sheep a day, with an allowance of meal and wine, and one horse a month to
sacrifice to Cyrus.
