The real secret behind the disappearance of 50,000 Persian army in the Gharbia Desert
Desert storm lie
Archaeological experts say that it is unlikely that a sandstorm wiped out 50,000 of Cambyses’ army. There is no similar incident in history. The Persian Emperor Darius, who occupied Egypt again two years later, attributed the shameful defeat of his predecessor Cambyses to natural factors. However, what is known in the desert is that No one dies because of a sandstorm let alone an entire army
However, stone blocks from the remains of a temple were discovered for the first time in the Amahda area in the Dakhla Oasis bearing the titles of King Petopastis III, who rebelled against the Persian invasion of Egypt, which means that a rebellion he led was linked to the oases, and the discovery suggests that the Persian army of Cambyses II was defeated at his hands.
Petopastis III regained part of Egypt that had been occupied by the Persians, and the presence of his name in the Dakhla Oasis makes it likely that this was a base for gathering strength for his rebellion against the Persian invasion, which he was able to expel from Memphis later and was crowned king.
