Iran Presents Replica of Ancient Edict to UN
Caption Description
The Government of Iran presented the UN with a replica of the ""Edict of Cyrus"" in a ceremony held on 14 October 1971 in the corridor outside the Economic and Social Council Chamber, where it is on display. The ""Edict of Cyrus"" is a declaration made by Cyrus the Great concerning the Babylon in 539 B.C. Cyrus the Great (circa 600 B.C. to 529 B.C) was the founder of the Persian Empire which, at his death, extended from the Hellespont to the Indies. The celebration in Iran of the 2500th anniversary of the foundation of the Persian Empire began on 12 October and ended on 15 October 1971 in a parade in Persepolis at the tomb of Cyrus the Great. The replica of the clay tablet on which the cuneiform letters of the 'Edict' are inscribed was made by the British Museum from the original which is in its collection. The case in which it is displayed was designed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and contains English and French translations of the ancient Persian text as well as the replica itself.
