Describe 3 things you learned from yesterday's presentation

I learnt that the Cyrus Cylinder  was a clay cylinder made by Cyrus the Great about him conquering Babylon and how he set the Jews free. It is the oldest and first human rights. 
I learnt that Magna Carta wasn’t a very good person; he put people in prison because he wanted their belongings. He had to sign the great charter, which he was furious about. If he didn’t sign it, his nobles would leave. If he didn’t follow the laws, the people would banish him out of the castle and country. 
I also learned that after Napoleon declared himself Emperor of France, he established a new set of laws called the Napoleonic Code. After making France rich and peaceful, he wanted to conquer the rest of the world and wanted to become emperor of the world.
