In 1996 evidence of a mighty Persian army said to have drowned in the sands of the Western
Egyptian desert in 525 bc have turned up.The new evidence was found by twin brothers Angelo and
Alfredo Castiglioni Italian archaeologists already famous for their discovery in 1989 of the ancient
Egyptian city of gold
Critics of the Castiglioni bros point out that instead of announcing their discovery in academic
journals they did so at a film festival where they premiered a movie about their findings.
They also expressed dismay at the seeming lack of due archaeological process displayed in the film
as the brothers are seen pulling weapon fragments and bone from the sands with no apparent
effort made to log their context or positions...
Still up to their old tricks....Allegedly....
