Herodotus is hardly considered an “unproven” ancient writer. His History is considered a reliable telling of the Peloponnesian War, and his writings have been used by many archaeologist in placing of events both in time and place.

“A wind arose from the south, strong and deadly, bringing with it vast columns of whirling sand …”

***********

This struck me as a fairly apt description of brash, blustering, obfuscating, and late North Carolina Sen Jesse Helms, but who am I to judge a strong southerly wind?

So will they now change the name from “The Lost Army” to something else?

The found army doesn’t sound quite right ???

Orthodox archaeology is ruled by a “show us the bones, ruins and artifacts” mentality that would discount Herodotus account as being the tall tales of a primitive and ruins the real romance of the profession. In truth this is done to defend their own academic turf and theories. I love it when another “unproven” ancient writer’s words are proven. Had I been more insightful at age 18 I would have gone into archaeology, but alas followed my father’s wishes and pursued a legal career, which as I’ve admitted didn’t turn out that well.

They didn’t happen to find Judge Crater, Amelia Earhart, and Jimmy Hoffa in there, too…?
