Ancient Lost Army Found?

Has the lost army of Cambyses II been found? The Persian army of 50,000 soldiers supposedly perished in a sandstorm in ancient Egypt 2500 years ago. Researchers have located a valley of bones they think may belong to the fabled army.

失蹤了兩千年的波斯大軍遺骸在非洲沙漠中被發現了。不過我更好奇的是中國戰國時代(時期與波斯大軍約略相同)的秦趙長平之戰中,被秦軍屠殺的四十多萬趙國兵士遺骸後來都到哪裡去了。雖說是「坑殺」(亦有一說是殺俘後集體掩埋),但四十多萬具屍體仍然不是小數目啊。

A fascinating finding. It was a 50,000-men army, but I am more interested in where did the 450,000 killed soldiers go in the Qin-Zhao war that took place in ancient China 2,300 years ago.
