Detailed explanation-1: -He conquered vast territories, from modern Turkey (Anatolia) to modern Oman. Cyrus freed the Jewish people from the Babylonian Kingdom, ending the era of Babylonian Captivity, or the exile of the Jews. He also issued the world’s first human rights charter to protect the religious minorities in his kingdom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cyrus describes how he conquered Babylon in 539 B.C.-without a fight, or so he alleges-and then took its king, Nabonidus, prisoner, all with the aid of Marduk, the most important Babylonian god. Cyrus claims that Marduk deserted the Babylonians because Nabonidus had reduced the citizenry to servile status.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the Bible (e.g., Ezra 1:1–4), Cyrus is famous for freeing the Jewish captives in Babylonia and allowing them to return to their homeland. Cyrus was also tolerant toward the Babylonians and others.
