I'm not quite sure how the ending makes sense - since this seems to be the translation of Cyrus' own thoughts. I'm in the mind of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" as, spoilers, Cyrus tells us his final thoughts at the end of his life - he dies on the last page - so, I'm thinking of course of the "Castle Aaaaa" - "he wouldn't take the time to carve Aaaa as he was dying" - "maybe he was dictating"....it's an odd image that sullies an otherwise interesting book. I mean, I'm picturing him telling his sons and followers his final words as he's dying, ready to breathe his last breath, and then he tells everyone to go away so he can call in his chronicler and tell him what he just told everyone else and his final thoughts as he dies...it works in a piece of fiction, but it seems oddly out of place in a memoir.

All that being said, however, Cyrus the Great's chief message is: Don't be a dick! Be nice to people. Treat your friends well. Be humble and thankful. And just, you know, don't be an asshole, and you'll be an overall great leader and person.
