If it were the work of God to bury them way back when, perhaps it is the work of God to unveil them, at this moment in time.
Lost armies, fields of bones...

Ok, if this is the missing Persian army... what are they going to do with it?
Should the 50,000 skeletons be moved to a museum? Or should they be returned to their native lands for proper burials? Or should they just leave them
to whatever the desert (and robbers) does to them, and place a memorial sign there to mark the place?

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.
