50,000 soldier's skeleton have been found on Sahara Desert

The rest of dominated Persia's soldier which is said has been sunk in Mesir on west desert at 2,500 years ago maybe finally has been found. This in one of extraordinary discovery in archeology, according to Italian's researches.

Bronze weapon, silver bracelet, earrings and hundred of human's skeleton found on Sahara Desert, is the lost army of Cambyses II, King of Persia. It is said that about 50,000 soldier has been buried by powerful sand storm on 525 BC.

“It all started in 1996, during an expedition aimed at investigating the presence of iron meteorites near Bahrin, one small oasis not far from Siwa,” Alfredo Castiglioni, director of the Eastern Desert Research Center (CeRDO) in Varese, told Discovery News.

"We have found the first archeological evidence from a story that was reported by Greek's historian." Said Dario Del Bufalo, an expedition member from University of Lecce to Discovery News.

It was a rock about 35 meters (114.8 feet) long, 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) in height and 3 meters (9.8 feet) deep. Such natural formations occur in the desert, but this large rock was the only one in a large area.

“Its size and shape made it the perfect refuge in a sandstorm,” Castiglioni said.

According to Herodotus (484 - 425 BC), Cambyses, son of Great Cyrus, sent 50,000 soldiers from Thebes, to attack Oasis of Siwa, and destruct the prediction at Amun Temple, after all the prophets refused to legitimate his claim to Mesir. After seven days walked at desert, they arrived at an "oasis", which is believed as El-Kharga. After they left, they have never been seen again.

Herodutus (484-425 B.C.) wrote about Cambyses and his doomed campaign, felled by a sandstorm on the way to the oracle at the Temple of Amun near the Oasis of Siwa, but no physical "The wind come from south, strong and destruct, twist and bring a vast sand wave, which covered all of soldiers, and caused them buried completely." Herodotus said.

A century after Herodotus's writing, at 332 BC Alexander The Great made a journey to Amun Temple.

But the story of lost soldiers also buried with them, as nobody has ever been come back, and the intellectual started to ignore it.

And now, two Italian archeologist claimed that they have found strong evidence that the Persia's soldiers was buried on a sand storm.

On archeology film festival Rovereto, this discovery is the result of 13 years researches and 5 times expedition to the desert.
