TWO MORE ARTICLES ON THE CYRUS CYLINDER are pretty good.
Cyrus Cylinder: How a Persian monarch inspired Jefferson (BBC)
The Cyrus Cylinder: Its Significance for Today (Payvand Iran News).
Both are factually accurate overall. The second plays up Cyrus's virtues more than I would. It should also have made clear that the letter attributed to Cyrus by Josephus (in Antiquities Book 11—see chapter two of this online translation for the passage in context) is a much later expansion of the letter referred to briefly in Ezra 6 // 1 Esdras 6.
