Under Persian custom, decrees of prior kings had a force of law that bound even future kings. The capital city of that city, Ecbatana (present-day Hamedan), was the summer residence of the Persian kings. In this place, a scroll was found with the instructions of King Cyrus [1st Decree]. After hearing of Cyrus’ edict, King Darius has no choice but to honor the prior king’s orders and permit the temple construction to continue.
