Cambyses' Lost Army: Have the remains of 50,000 Persian warriors been found at last?

An international archaeology news feed was recently added to the website, which highlights many of the best stories in the fascinating field of archaeology, not only of ancient Greece, but of Rome, Egypt, etc. One such  story merits attention as it has brought the historian Herodotus into the limelight once again.  Unfortunately, this breaking news which appeared several weeks ago in the news feed has been superseded by more recent events. Therefore, I thought I would post the link to  Cambyses' Lost Army of 50,000 Persian warriors from Discovery News, which was one of the original sources.

Frank Miller excerpt from his Dark Horse interview on the comic book series '300'

Another excerpt from Frank Miller on his comic book series 300. The interview will be posted in its entirely in several weeks on the 300spartanwarriors.com website.

Dark Horse:  And what is it about the Spartans that has been so compelling to you?  What makes them such good material for a story?

Frank Miller:  It's important  to keep in mind that Spartans did two things that warriors at that time didn't do: they wore capes, and they had very long hair.  Both of these things gave the enemy something to grab.  You have to be an extremely good soldier to go into battle giving somebody a rope to grab you by.  The red cape obviously made them scarier to look at, and the long hair made them seem immensely confident.
