wow. this is such an outstanding message about our multicultural society in the usa, and how we were influenced by the founding fathers, who were influenced by persia! I am so moved by mini documententaries that can be so effective, well done. thank you so much.

@MP Ceran The audio was purchased from Getty Images. The credits screen at the end of the video has the artist and song name.

Where can I purchase the amazing sound track to the Cyrus Cylinder video?
