A recent discovery in the Sahara desert by Italian archaeologists (and twin brothers) Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni, might prove to be the remains of the indomitable Persian army, lead by the Persian King Cambyses II, the son of Cyrus the Great, while attempting to cross the desert some 2,500 years ago.
The brothers having unearthed artifacts like Bronze weapons, a silver bracelet, an earring, along with hundreds of human bones are confident in their findings. Talking to Discovery News, expedition member Dario Del Bufalo said, “We have found the first archaeological evidence of a story reported by the Greek historian Herodotus.”
