Cyrus the Great and His Empire

About the Book

In this book, Cyrus the Great and His Empire, author F.G.Ghamsari writes the story of equality, freedom, and the establishment of human rights (600-530BC). Two thousand five hundred years later, equality remains a conflict and justice does not exist. Unfairness is the way of life and persecution of innocents with a guilty conviction feeds the corrupted regimes of many countries. Black Lives Matter is indicative that even acclaimed the greatest nation ever, the United States, needs to improve the conditions of equality and human rights. The story began when the king ordered an infant to be put to death but by help of a shepherd, that child stayed alive and became a king, named Cyrus, who changed unjust rules. Violence against a defeated nation for rulers was haughty as Nebuchadnezzar leader of Babylon wrote, “I ordered one hundred thousand eyes pulled out…” He was proud to bring fifteen thousand Jew prisoners to Babylon. Cyrus came and averted these tyrannies. Whether we believe words of the Holy Bible or trace his actions, the result would be the same that Cyrus, “the Messiah”, was to carry on a “Divine Mission”, benefiting humanity forever.

About the Author

It is interesting that while I was publishing my first book in english," Basket of Goodies" in which I tried to promote human understanding and elimination of racism, bigotry, and differences throughout the book, I came across the life story of Cyrus, who immediately became my hero. I knew little about Cyrus the Great but the more I read, the more I became interested. The man, who for the first time in history informed us about our freedom and wrote the declaration of human rights. However,I wondered why his name was not mention among most famous or influential leaders in history while name of Hitler, Genghis khan and Alexander could be found easily in most computer sites. That is the reason why I took the task to write this book.
