#33: The Lost Army of Cambyses II
These days, it is hard for certain things to get past certain people… If a group of people goes missing or someone is trying to cover something up, people will find out in one way or another. The very nature of having such a technologically advanced and connected world means exactly this… But that wasn’t the case in the year 524 BC.
In 524 BC, the Persian king’s army of 50,000 men went to fight the Ethiopians, however, all of them vanished into thin air. We’re not sure if you can fully comprehend 50,000 people going missing without a trace… It seems impossible. Two scientists, Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni, recently discovered that the entire army was killed during a deadly sandstorm and, in fact, didn’t vanish into thin air.
