Legendary Lost Persian Army Found in Sahara

If true it will be a minor miracle, because normally Herodotus just makes up anything he likes, that sounds dramatic...

Herodotus never made anything up. Like in this case, his history, based on oral sources, always holds up. He got a bad rap from the modern school of Prussian historians, whose traditions are upheld today, which present political history, from politicized sources, and therefore much more suspect (the Warren Commission for example). Herodotus presents the most accurate picture of the Ancient World we have and we are blessed for it, because outside of him, we have very little of worth. J
