It's been all over the media in recent days, the news that Cambyses' Lost Army has supposedly been found. Besides the fact that no tombstone has been found saying "Here lies Cambyses' army. It got lost", there are other reasons to be more than a little suspicious of this news item, and those suspicions probably need more attention than they're getting.

Jona Lendering blogged his suspicions on the historicity of the event a few days ago. The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has cast its own doubts on the archaeologists making this claim, but the most damning account can be read on David Meadows' Rogueclassicism blog.
