Vanished Persian army found in Egyptian desert?

When we were in Siwa, we heard the tales of the Persian army that was headed to Siwa over two and a half thousand years ago, in search of the temple of Amun, that was cursed and were killed by a sandstorm in the middle of the desert. No one knew if they lost their way or what had actually happenned to them.

This is one of the famous stories in the history of Ancient Egypt. I heared about this few days ago and it seems interesting indeed.

Hi,

My name is Jayson Casper, and I am a new blogger, living here in Maadi, Cairo. I have heard it is good to exchange links with other likeminded blogs, but I have not done this before, so forgive me if I am out of line. I moved here in August with my family, and work in a journalism/peacemaking project. My blog, if you would like to see if it is appropriate here, is found at www.asenseofbelonging.wordpress.com. I would be happy to answer any questions you have as you consider this. Thank you.
