“Cyrus the Great is genuinely one of history's towering figures. America's own<br />

founders such as Thomas Jefferson were influenced by Cyrus the Great in the field of<br />

Human Rights.”<br />

172 "... unique system of organization used by Cyrus II..."<br />

"During his reign, Cyrus maintained control over a vast region of conquered kingdoms,<br />

achieved partly through retaining <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>ing Median satrapies. Further organization of<br />

newly conquered territories into provinces ruled by vassal kings called satraps, was<br />

continued by Cyrus' successor Darius the Great. Cyrus' empire dem<strong>and</strong>ed only tribute<br />

<strong>and</strong> conscripts from many parts of the realm.<br />

Cyrus was distinguished equally as a statesman <strong>and</strong> as a soldier. By pursuing a<br />

policy of generosity instead of repression, <strong>and</strong> by favoring local religions, he was able<br />

to make his newly conquered subjects into enthusiastic supporters. Due in part to the<br />

political infrastructure he created, the Achaemenid empire endured long after his demise.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rise of Persia under Cyrus's rule had a profound impact on the course of world<br />

history. Persian philosophy, literature <strong>and</strong> religion all played dominant roles in world<br />

events for the next millennia. Despite the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th century CE<br />

by the Islamic Caliphate (Arab Empire), Persia continued to exercise enormous influence<br />

in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age."<br />

173 "... tree of life...."<br />

"Trees of life appear in folklore, culture <strong>and</strong> fiction, often relating to immortality. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

often hold cultural <strong>and</strong> religious significance to the peoples for whom they appear.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sumerian (or Persian) Tree of Life was represented by a series of nodes <strong>and</strong> crisscrossing<br />

lines. It was an important religious symbol among these peoples, often attended<br />

to by Eagle Headed Gods & Priests, or the King himself.<br />

• In Chinese mythology a carving of a Tree of Life depicts a phoenix <strong>and</strong> a dragon -<br />

in Chinese mythology the dragon often represents immortality. <strong>The</strong>re is also the<br />

Taoist story of a tree that produces a peach every three thous<strong>and</strong> years. <strong>The</strong> one<br />

who eats the fruit receives immortality.<br />

• An archaeological discovery in the 1990s was of a sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui in<br />

Sechuan, China. Dating from about 1200 BCE, it contained 3 bronze trees, one<br />

of them 4 meters high. At the base was a dragon, <strong>and</strong> fruit hanging from the lower<br />

branches. At the top is a strange bird-like (phoenix) creature with claws. Also from<br />

Sechuan, from the late Han dynasty (c 25 - 220 CE) is another tree of life. <strong>The</strong><br />

ceramic base is guarded by a horned beast with wings. <strong>The</strong> leaves of the tree are<br />

coins <strong>and</strong> people.<br />

• In Egyptian mythology, in the Ennead system of Heliopolis, the first couple, apart<br />

from Shu & Tefnut (moisture & dryness) <strong>and</strong> Geb & Nuit (earth & sky), are Isis &<br />

Osiris. <strong>The</strong>y were said to have emerged from the acacia tree of Saosis, which the<br />

Egyptians considered the tree of life, referring to it as the "tree in which life<br />

<strong>and</strong> death are enclosed".<br />
