3 reviews of Tomb of Cyrus the Great

The greatest city of the ancient world

Excellent

The dissatisfaction of the people with the ruler Nabonidus gave Cyrus the Great a pretext for invading the lowlands. The conquest was quick, for even the priests of Marduk, the national deity of the great metropolis of Babylon, had become estranged from Nabonidus. In October 539 BCE, the greatest city of the ancient world fell to the Persians. #CyrustheGreat was also tolerant toward the Babylonians and others.

He conciliated local populations by supporting local customs and even sacrificing to local deities.
