The second myth is the myth of Babylonian exile that forms modern Jewish political thought. Let us see what was the reality of history?
A century and a half after the destruction of Ephraim, a union was formed of the Chaldeans and Persians against Assyria and ended the life of the empire. Thus, political geography of the region found a new form. In the East, there were powerful alliance of Iran and the Chaldean state of Babylon (Mesopotamia) and Egypt and remains the Assyrian government and their allies were place in the West. The famous marriage of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, with Amities, Hukheshtar's girl, king of the Medes, was for this reason. At this time, following the same tie formed between the tribe of Judah and the Assyrian Empire since the devastation of the ten tribes of Israelites, small Jewish state was uniting Egypt and Assyrian and during regime of Nebuchadnezzar, the Jewish king, at was appointed by king of Egypt. Gradually, the Union of Persia and Babylon had more power and defeated Egypt and from that time, the Jewish state instead of Egypt became tributary of state of Babylon. Three years later, again Egyptians formed an union against the Babylonians and Iranians and entered mini-states of Palestinian and Canaan and the Jewish state to the alliance.
I should explain that the ancient Palestinians had nothing to do with current Palestinian people. The name was given to them by the Jews and the British colonialists at the time of the First World War so that make religious myths alive and show regional conflict as conflict between Israel and the Palestinians like ancient times. During the Ottoman era, the current Palestinian land was a part of the province of Syria bu center of Damascus and the whole area was called Syria.
After the formation of the union by leadership of Egypt, in the year 598 BC, Babylon and Persia's joint army campaigned to the East Mediterranean and pro-Egyptian kings and fans in the above states were moved to Babylon and gave power to their supporters among the local leaders of these governments. One of these exiles was young King of Jewish state with his mother called Nehushta, who was a powerful woman. Nebuchadnezzar's entry into Jerusalem was done quietly and without bloodshed and destruction and in the Old Testament there is no mention of murder and plunder. Nebuchadnezzar did not dismiss Jewish royalty, but he appointed uncle of King of the Jews, called Zedekiah, as regent in Jerusalem. This was helpful for much Jewish propaganda that has become the symbol of displacement and exile in Babylon. Today, the archeological discoveries and the discovery of ancient Babylon archives reveal that these "exiles", in contrary to centuries of Jewish propaganda, were not "captured". Jehoiachin, his mother and Jewish heads, like the kings and princes of Tyre and Gaza, and Ashkelon and Ashdod governments, had royal life in Babylon. Zedekiah in Jerusalem was the only regent, and Nebuchadnezzar still recognized Jehoiachin as "king of the Jews" and respected him. Jehoiachin's vast estate and the elders and chief priests properties were reserved in Judea and they were controlled by their agents. Jewish exiles in Babylon regularly revealed their relationship to Jerusalem and obeyed the commandments of Jehoiachin in the Judea state. King's life was highly luxurious in Babylon and his prominent position at the court of Nebuchadnezzar is in a way that some researchers even believe that they did not take him into exile, but he lived under the protection of the king of Babylon voluntarily to escape crises in his own land.
Later, Egypt again became powerful and began aggressive policy against Babylon and Iran and aging small states of the east coast of the Mediterranean were along this policy. As a result, in the year 587 BC, Nebuchadnezzar again campaigned to the West and it occupied Jerusalem during the war with Egypt in the summer of 586 BC.
Note that in this campaign firstly, governments of Iran and Babylon were united and Iranians were present in the army of Nebuchadnezzar, son-in-law of king of the Medes. In the Old Testament explicitly it mentions "Pars riders" and "captains of the Chaldeans" that participated in the attack on Jerusalem. Secondly, Nebuchadnezzar campaign coincided with the rebellion of inhabitants of Jerusalem against the royal Jewish family and they were the people who according to the Old Testament sent messengers to Nebuchadnezzar and called for his campaign to Jerusalem and overthrowing the rulers. I argued about the issue in the book "plutocracy" and showed that the fall of Jerusalem was a consequence of profound social crisis that before Nebuchadnezzar's third expedition to the area it led to the emergence of a prophet named Jeremiah. In the religious and historical texts known as the Old Testament, Jeremiah is a great and respected prophet. "The Book of Jeremiah the prophet" is one of the best and most beautiful parts of the Old Testament and I really suggest you to read it. At that time, the king and the Jewish royal family were not faithful to the traditions of Mousavi monotheism and a widespread corruption had engulfed them. For example, Jeremiah, who belonged to the tribe of Benjamin, addressed the Jewish rulers and leaders of the tribe of Judah and said: O Judah, in every city you have created a God and in the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have created sanctuary to worship Baal and even do shameful things. He calls Judah as a "tribe of evil" for this reason. Jeremiah he prophet strongly supported Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar and opposed Jewish leaders' alliance with Pharaoh of Egypt. It is interesting that the prophet Jeremiah introduces Nebuchadnezzar as God's messenger that his mission is to destroy the idolatry in Egypt and expressly invited people to uphold the Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians.
However, at the time of the siege of Jerusalem, Jeremiah was persecuted by Jewish aristocrats and priests and was imprisoned in a well was and he was going to be killed. But with the fall of city, Nebuchadnezzar immediately sent one of his commanders to save him. Nebuchadnezzar had a great honor for Jeremiah and even he asked to take him to Babylon, but Jeremiah refused, preferring to remain among his people.
Jewish royal family continued to live in Babylon and after the death of Nebuchadnezzar their situation was even better than the past. After the death of Nebuchadnezzar, three kings came to power in Babylon until someone from Aramaic tribes named Nabonidus came to power who wanted to impose a religion except the religion of the people of Babylon. At this time, due to a dispute between the Medes and Persians, Iranian influence in Babylon is minimized and instead influence of Egypt was increased. Nabonidus was finally united with Egypt against Iran, but in the spring of 539 BC, the Achaemenid Persians under the command of Cyrus made a great campaign to the Babylon and without any serious conflict withdrew Nabonidus, who was hated by the people of Babylon. Babylonian inscription mention Cyrus as the "savior of Babylon" because Nabonidus was hated even by his gods because of oppression and looting his people's properties.
I must add that Jewish historians distorted image of the ruler Cyrus and have tried to create a close bond between Cyrus and Jewish elites. Note that not only in the clay cylinder of Cyrus in the occasion of Babylon, which was discovered in 1879 AD by Hormoz Rasam and is now in the British Museum, but in all Iranian inscriptions in that time there in no mentioning of Jews and even in Greek sources there is mention of the relationship of Cyrus with the Jews. That is what Ben Gurion, Israel's former president, has noticed in one of his articles.
In fact, at the time of the conquest of Babylon, the royal family and Jewish nobles were not slaves saved by Cyrus them. As I said, they had life filled with luxury and comfort and during the Nabonidus era they could return to Jerusalem but they did not. Of course, Cyrus also allowed them to return to Jerusalem, but they did not. Only one of the princes of Jewd named Zerubbabel (Babylonian) at the head of a group of nobles and priests traveled to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple of Solomon; however, the group returned to Babylon after a short time. Historical evidence proves that the Jewish royal family chose to stay in large cities and to be based in Iranian court instead of returning to their homeland and so they were assimilated among Iranians in Achaemenid era and their descendants became extinct. The next heads of Jews who claim that are true descendants of the house of David and kings of the Jews are not true and in the book "plutocracy" I have shown that this hoax took place in the late second and early third century AD by Judah Nasi.
During the Achaemenid Empire for two centuries Syria and Palestine were a part of Iran and the Jewish nobles are present in the Iran court. I said that the Jews give a distorted picture of Cyrus the Great. A careful analysis in the Old Testament shows that Zerubbabel's mission to rebuild the Temple of Solomon faced with opposition from townspeople, nobles and priests who opposed the restoration of Jewish sovereignty, and that is why Cyrus issued the order of stopping it. Thus, Cyrus did not have a special interest in Jewish priests and nobles and preferred the idea of people of Jerusalem and the Jewish state over royal family and nobles' request and that is why he stopped rebuilding the Temple of Solomon. Rebuilding the temple was resumed only in the second year of the reign of Darius I.
aristocracy of Jewish authority in Iran does not start from the time of Cyrus the Great and Darius I but it began when a Jewish woman named Esther with the help of his cousin named Mordechai had sex with Khsharyasha through guile and cunning and she became as Iran's queen, and later, she started murder of minister Haman and slaughter of Iranian leaders who objected to the Jews' penetration. The strange story of intrigue and bloody killings is mentioned in the "Book of Esther" and she is the first and biggest myth in political information conspiracy making and influence in history. In the "Book of Esther" the great slaughter of Iranians is mentioned with strange cruelty and savagery by order of Esther and Mordechai. According to the contents of this book, the Jews executed 75 thousand of Iran's heads in large groups of 500 and 300 people all around the Iran and they had celebrations after each killing. Including the victims are ten sons of Haman the minister who were hanged in the city of Susa. Tomb of Esther and Mordechai are in Iran and they have been rebuilt and restored repeatedly during recent centuries by the Jewish oligarchy. After the bloody coup, Jewish elites gained a great power in Iran and in the reign of Artaxerxes I, Xerxes' son, appoint a priest named Ezra the scriber as the religious ruler of the Jewish state, but they remain in the capital and major cities in Iran and were gradually vanished among the people of this land. Why? Because as the words of the Talmud, as they saw the city of Susa they said here is better than land of Israel, and when they arrived Shushtar they said here is doubled better than Israel!
