British Museum director Neil MacGregor says the cylinder has plenty of historical significance.

Sure does!

My knees are starting to hurt.

Well, I hope the British took good pictures and measurements.

Kiss good-bye another great relic of antiquity.

Sorry, but what’s the point of posting this?

An Islamic regime such as IRI has clearly demonstrated in decades that it has no respect for its own citizens (hence human rights declared in Cyrus the Great Cylinder), nor the pre-Islamic history of Iran.

Using Cyrus the Great cylinder & politicising it is an insult. And, Yes, the cylinder should be returned to Iran eventually & NOT on loan.

Do the Brits & IRI still love each other?

BUT BUT BUT I have the original. I bought it on eBay, and I have a certificate of authenticity too.

Thanx for posting. Sorry to hear it’s been returned to Iran under this regime though.

“It’s about Cyrus’s respect for different peoples and different faiths,

what pontificating BS!

I’m not sure who’s more sickening - the Iranian regime or the British crackpot one.
