Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Iran will sever all ties with the British Museum unless an ancient artifact, the Cyrus Cylinder, is loaned to the National Museum of Iran, state-run Press TV reported on its Web site.

The Cylinder, dated about 539-530 B.C. and inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform, has been described as the world’s earliest charter of human rights. The British Museum said after the Press TV report that it would keep its promise to lend the Cylinder, and was watching the Iranian political situation to make sure the loan was made in the best possible conditions.

“If the British Museum continues to make excuses for not loaning the artifact to the National Museum, we will, unfortunately, cease any cooperation with them, including archaeological expeditions and research,” Press TV quoted Hamid Baqaei, vice president in charge of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, as saying.

For killing Iranian boys and girls, raping them and burning them with acid?

At least in the article above, the perpetrators are British, a foreign entity. Unlike AN and ali geda who claim to be from the same soil, calls themselves Irani and still keep lieing to the world.

I am not gonna let you breathe freely here gholam! Until you start posting the atrocities commited by AN and Geda, I'll be here again and again to raise awareness about what is REALLY  going on in Iran.

Why the hell should the Cyrus cylinder be returned to Iran? To be erased from memory by the Mullahs?

How can you trust the mullahs with Iran's history when they openly have been trying to erase Iran's non-Islamic past from memory?

The only thing the curent hezbollahi regime cares about is the history of Felesteen and Islam. Khak bar sareshoon.....

in gentelmen clothing. The cyrus cylinder is amongst the most precious world artifacts and must be returned to Iran.

The French are no better, just two days ago Egypt broke all ties with French museums because the French refused to return some of the most precious Egyptian items on display in Louvre.

When are Iranians going to understand that these nations that claim Democracy and human rights as their most precious virtues are all theives and the image they have built is for hegemony and stealing on the world stage?
