The design of this "Freedom Sculpture" was inspired by the 2,500 year old Cyrus Cylinder which is inscribed with the story of Cyrus, King of Persia, who brought justice, peace and religious freedom to a multi-national empire. The Cyrus Cylinder's inscriptions have been viewed by scholars as well as Founding Fathers of the United States of America as the first declaration of human rights.
