The Cyrus Column is one of the most famous icons in the ancient world. It was excavated in Babylon in 1879. This cylinder was ordered to be inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform script by King Cyrus the Great of Persia after occupying Babylon in 539 BC. This cylinder records in detail how Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon, how he restored various temple statues removed by the former Babylonian king Nabonidus, and his work in Babylon. This cylinder is now preserved in the British Museum.
