Iran cuts ties with British Museum over Cyrus Cylinder
National Museum of Iran said he cut all ties with the British Museum,
in protest against the decision of the loans of a delay in ancient
Persian treasure.
The Cyrus Cylinder is 6 C. century and is the first bill of rights.
The British Museum said that the work must be maintained until the
summer to continue his investigation.
But the head of State for Culture of Iran, said the move was
unacceptable and politically motivated.
The Agency for Cultural Heritage has all the relations and cooperation
with the British Museum, for reduction, said the head of the
organization, Hamid Baqai, according to Reuters.
He said his organization would be a protest letter to UNESCO’s cultural
agency of the United Nations for the task, and suggested that Iran
would bring a significant cost because of the delay.
Also threatened by every museum in the world to write this for a
collaboration with the caution of the British Museum.
In September, the British Museum said it would delay the delivery of
2,500 years of clay cylinder, without specifying the practice .
But last month, the museum said the reason he needed to keep the object
was to compare two recently discovered tablets may be likely for the
same period.
The cylinder can be ordered by the Persian King Cyrus, after the
conquest of Babylon.
Covered in small print, the cuneiform script, says the first bill of
rights to represent and incorporate their religious tolerance.
