Something I saw today and thought I would share with everyone here. One of the great mysteries of history may have been solved and fingers crossed for a great archaeological find to expand our knowledge of the Persian military.

Interesting, but still too little evidence :juggle2:
Cant wait to see, if they dig out more.

Yes I heard about the "vanishing army" quite some time ago. When I read the title I knew exactly which army was meant here. Interesting find, I will follow the news on this.

Thanks for sharing.

Now thats interresting. I have read about that army some time ago... I hope they soon find more evidence so it can be proved for certain.

Of course, they could only find out the truth if they started smashing the skulls with rocks.
