Cyrus was the first Achaemenian Emperor of Persia, who issued a decree on his aims and policies, later hailed as his charter of the rights of nations. Inscribed on a clay cylinder, this is known to be the first declaration of Human Rights, and is now kept at the British Museum. A replica of this is also at the United Nations in New York.

His son Cambyses II was the conqueror of Egypt ( in one famous episode of his campaign, as he led his army towards the temple and oracle of Amun he lost his entire army during a sand storm in the Lybian desert)
