Hi just to add, the Romans DID know that adding salt to the land killed it off. Only know this because I was reading about when they Finally beat the City of Carthage and after raping, looting etc they were told by the leader to SALT the land so that nothing would ever grow there again and people would hopefully forget that Carthage had ever existed as they had been such a thorn in Rome' side for hundreds of years.

Probably a bit of all three.
Some of the remains and objects will be taken to museums and laboratories.
Many more might be reburied, or returned to what would have been their homeland.
There will also probably be some sort of marker to note the area, though it's also a very remote section of desert.

Seems like a big job, to figure out which contemporary country should receive each of the 50,000 skeletons. I would guess there would have to be DNA testing of most of them. I'll bet there will be a lot of mixed up bones, and international lawsuits from it.

Most likely, many of the skeletons will be reburied, soley due to the number. Most likely the only ones that'll get sent out would be the most complete. There may be a few hundred of those, at a generous estimate.

BREAKING NEWS FLASH PEOPLE

god himself, has spoken about this directly. Of course I am speaking of that piece of work known as Zahi Hawass. The only voice of Egyptian History to have any say about anything.

Seems these Italians who found this and have claimed the find are now going to be prosecuted. History at it's best!!!!.

www.archaeologynews.org...

Egypt's chief archeologist Zahi Hawass rejects the discovery of a vanished Persian army in the Egyptian deserts as "unfounded and misleading."

"I need to inform the public that recent reports published in newspapers, news agencies and TV news announcing that “twin brothers Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni have unearthed remains of the Persian army of Cambyses,” are unfounded and misleading," Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities Hawass wrote in his personal blog.

Reports had earlier announced that the remains of an army led by Persian King Cambyses II had been discovered by the Castiglioni brothers in a small oasis not far from Siwa.


So there it is. god has declared this find is not what has been published or claimed. Hope everyone forgets about it now, since it will never be noted again, if Hawass controls it.

Ciao

Shane

P.S. And yes, I seemingly do not like this Hawass ahole.

Yes, I've been reading about this over on Hall of Ma'at. There's actually quite a bit to it, much of it centered around how the site was handled and reported.
The credentials of the fellows making the claim have been called into question. Seems they are film producers, but not archaeologists as they've been billed.

So it seems like a Soap Opera is about to occur in respects to this find in the sands of Eygpt.

Principles are of course, my friend Hawass, and that figure of everything that is right in the Middle East, Ahmadinejad.

Seems Iranian cultural heritage officials were to meet on November 29 with Egyptian counterparts to discuss this matter in more detail, but due to the sob, who recently called Beyounce dumb, Hawass, and the verbal diarreha he spews, those talks have been postponed for now.

www.presstv.ir...
Egyptian officials have postponed their visit to Iran where they were to discuss the possible location of a Persian army that vanished 25 centuries ago...............Egypt postponed the visit after Hawass's made his claims, IRNA reported.


This is the status of the matter now. 10 Days ago, that wonder of civility and respect, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had asked Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization to

www.presstv.ir...
....review new findings about an ancient Iranian army which is believed to have been lost in Egypt.......

and here a mouthful from Mr Misunderstood

"It is expected that the capacities of the national knowledge about the cultural heritage and internationally renowned experts and also the diplomatic capacities would be used," the Iranian President stated.


And how is this for diplomacy. Throw out the U.N. Weapons inspectors, and then turn around and ask UNESCO to protect the Italian's Find from Hawass.

www.presstv.ir...
Iran has asked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to protect the remains of a vanished Persian army of the Achaemenid empire in Egypt.

The request was made through a letter by Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) on Sunday.

"Egypt's chief archeologist Zahi Hawass has recently rejected the discovery of the army in his personal weblog due to political pressure," ICHTO Spokesman, Hassan Mohseni, told Fars news agency.


Look, I have an ally. Someone else who distrusts that Egyptian Snake Hawass.

A quick look at mythology, folklore, history, and archeology will show conclusively that throughout the entirety of human history, weather has ALWAYS been an enemy. Global warming hasn't made weather an enemy, that's just it's "nature". Global warming simply alters some of it's behaviour.
