Daniel 1:21

Daniel remained there [continued to serve the kingdom] until the first year of King Cyrus' reign [and well into his reign].
[The name Cyrus is of Persian origin, meaning "like the sun." In modern Persian, the name is Kourosh. In ancient Elamite inscriptions, the name is "Kuras." From this name comes the Greek Kyrios, meaning "lord." The Latin form of the Greek has since become the English Cyrus. The Hebrew transliteration is Koresh, see Dan. 10:1; Ezra 1:1.
Daniel was born around 620 BC in Jerusalem. As a teenager, he was taken to Babylon in 605 BC. He remained there for at least 69 years. He gained influence in two great powers. Kings came and went, but Daniel always played a prominent role. When the Persian king Cyrus conquered Babylon in 539 BC, Daniel also found favor with him in the new Persian empire. Since Daniel had visions in the third year of Cyrus' reign, this means that he was in the country in 536 BC. At that time, he was over 80 years old. It is also at this advanced age that he is thrown into the lions' den, see Dan chapter 6. Although he is able to see the first group of Jews, led by Zerubbabel, return to Jerusalem, see Ezra 1:1-3, it is most likely that Daniel remained and died in Babylon. There are six different traditions about where he was buried: Babylon, Kirkuk and Miqdadiyah in Iraq, Susa and Malamir in Iran, and Samarkand in Uzbekistan.]
