EZRA CHAPTER ONE - BACKGROUND ON KING CYRUS

KING CYRUS AND THE CYRUS CYLINDER

                    

Here is a link to a video by the British Museum on the 'Cyrus Cylinder'. It provides helpful background to the Book of Ezra. It lasts for 15 minutes. In the last four minutes he talks about the Bible's account. Well worth a look.
