Despite being ordered to be killed as a baby by the Median king Astyages, Cyrus was secretly raised and eventually led a successful revolt against Astyages, defeating him and establishing the Achaemenid Empire. Cyrus then implemented a sophisticated system of governance, dividing his territories into semi-autonomous provinces and organizing an elite army of 10,000 "Immortals". Through his strategic acumen and statesmanship, Cyrus the Great became one of the ancient world's most renowned and influential rulers. The story describes the rising power of the Persian leader Cyrus the Great and his conquest of the Lydian kingdom, a longtime rival of the Persians. Despite the Lydians' attempts to rally allies and defenses, Cyrus's forces eventually breached their capital Sardis, leading to the collapse of the Lydian Empire. This set the stage for Cyrus to turn his sights on the declining Babylonian Empire, taking advantage of internal unrest to eventually capture the city of Babylon itself. The narrative highlights Cyrus's strategic acumen and ability to exploit the weaknesses of his opponents to expand the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, invaded the Babylonian Empire in 539 BC, presenting himself as a liberator. Despite initial delays, Cyrus' forces achieved a decisive victory near Opus. Recognizing the formidable defenses of Babylon, Cyrus devised a complex strategy to capture the city without a full-scale assault. By diverting the Euphrates River and infiltrating the city during a festival, the Persians were able to seize control with minimal resistance. Cyrus then entered Babylon, restored the priesthood, reduced taxes, and returned seized idols, showcasing his benevolence and securing the loyalty of the people. Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire, played a pivotal role in Jewish history by allowing the exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. This act of generosity earned him the title of "Messiah" in the Jewish religion. Cyrus later faced a formidable adversary, the Scythian queen Tomyris, whose army he initially defeated through a cunning strategy. However, in the final battle, Tomyris' forces overwhelmed the Persians, and Cyrus was ultimately killed, leaving a significant gap in the ancient sources about the later years of his reign. The Archimedes' army was devastated, with nearly the entire force destroyed and Cyrus, the Persian king, killed in battle or from his wounds. Tomyris, the Queen, fulfilled her vow by placing Cyrus' head in a blood-filled animal skin. Yet, through unknown means, Cyrus' remains were later interred, and his tomb in Pasargadet stands as a relic of the ancient world, bearing an inscription that identifies him as the founder of the Persian Empire.
