BEHIND THIS SCENE

What is history and what is fiction?

Open reconstructionThe chapter is literary theology rather than recoverable event history.

Historical anchor

The Cyrus Cylinder credits Marduk, while Isaiah and Ezra credit Yahweh; Cyrus's personal religious identity remains debated.

Fiction boundary

Narseh's comparative archive is fictional, though the competing theological claims are preserved in historical texts.
