The history of human rights covers thousands of years and draws upon religious, cultural, philosophical and legal developments throughout recorded history. Several ancient documents and later religions and philosophies included a variety of concepts that may be considered to be human rights. Notable among such documents are the [[Cyrus cylinder]] of 539 BC, a declaration of intentions by the [[Persian Empire|Persian]] emperor [[Cyrus the Great]] after his conquest of the [[Neo-Babylonian Empire]]; the [[Edicts of Ashoka]] issued by [[Ashoka the Great]] of [[History of India|India]] between 272-231 BC; and the [[Constitution of Medina]] of 622 AD, drafted by [[Muhammad]] to mark a formal agreement between all of the significant tribes and families of Yathrib (later known as [[Medina]]), including [[Muslim]]s, [[Jew]]s and [[Paganism|Pagans]].<ref>See:
