Cyrus the Great

Archaeological discoveries do not undermine the Bible. Instead, they confirm the Bible again and again.

NOTE: Watch for an upcoming Podcast where Hans Weichbrodt shares a powerful message about Cyrus as our Break Forth Journeys group stands at the site of ancient Sardis in Turkey. This is the place of the famous battle of Thymbra where Cyrus conquered King Croesus of Lydia.
