It is amazing that they could put together a force of 50,000 troops, provision them and supply them on a march like this.

Four posts on this thread and no one has posted the "comb the desert" picture from Mel Brooks' Spaceballs yet? I'm amazed. Seriously that sounds like a fascinating trip - definitely an interesting answer if someone asks "What did you do on your vacation?" when you get back to the office.

Uh-oh...another "moving day" approaches.

Maybe we should go on the trip with them...and make sure they don't find our inventory again. It seemed like such a good idea at the time to hide it under those old skeletons and helmets and stuff.

Here we go again. Why us ?! They even came to Mars ! What is it with these humans...can't a typing eel and dog have any business secrets? I remember you saying..."nobody would look under so many humin skelingtons out here...just to dig up our slot machines and loaded roulette wheels..!"...well, I guess they would if they were looking for a bunch of old skelingtons in the first place. Who'd of figured ?!!!

I wonder if anyone has considered a complete desertion of the army. (Just spread to the four winds)

Tourists traversing Egypt's desert may solve a mystery that has puzzled archaeologists for centuries: what happened to the 50,000-man Persian army of King Cambyses.

Well, let's not panic. I'm sure they'll be along presently.

four years ago a team of Egyptian geologists stumbled on bits of metal resembling weapons, as well as fragments of human bones.
Rommell's troops remains maybe?

"As they were at their midday meal, a wind arose from the south, strong and deadly, bringing with it vast columns of whirling sand, which entirely covered up the troops and caused them wholly to disappear," Herodotus wrote.

If this is what happened, then who was left to report it?
