Our original coverage:
There aren't many things you'll see that can be quantified in this many years! That alone is impressive. Cyrus the Great established Persian rule in 539 BC (not Chestnut Hill this time!) and this Cylinder was part of his mark, along with his liberated viewpoint for his time. A must-see and it won't be here long so do make the trip!
