The inscription proclaims "Even you do not know how many houses dedicated to God your hand has made". The Achaemenid Persian empire was the largest that the ancient world had seen, stretching from Anatolia and Egypt across western Asia to northern India and Central Asia. Its formation began in 550 B.C., when King Astyages of Media, who dominated much of Iran and eastern Anatolia (Turkey), is defeated by his southern neighbor Cyrus II ("the Great"), king of Persia (r. 559-530 B.C.). This upsets the balance of power in the Near East. The Lydians of western Anatolia under King Croesus take advantage of the fall of Media to push east and clash with Persian forces. The Lydian army withdraws for winter but the Persians advance to the Lydian capital at Sardis, which falls after a two-week siege. The Lydians were allied with the Babylonians and Egyptians, so Cyrus now has to confront these major powers. The Babylonian empire controls Mesopotamia and the eastern Mediterranean. In 539 B.C., Persian forces defeat the Babylonian army at the site of Opis, east of the Tigris. Cyrus enters Babylon and presents himself as a traditional Mesopotamian monarch, restoring temples and releasing political prisoners.
