Mfs go all the way out in the desert and didnāt think to bring a $50 metal detector.

That dramatisation of the man dropping the water jug is so...accurate. That was how I found a man in the Grand Canyon when my son and I took a "short hike" . there was a heat wave, and this man had hiked from the bottom that day. I found his water bottle first. I found him lying by the trail next. I got some water in him and walked with him up to the rim. He was the one of three parties my son and I met who had been badly affected by the extreme heat. The brain shuts down fast when it gets too hot.

Science World Report, article by Benita Matilda, 2014 -- "They were not swallowed up by a sandstorm as ancient historians would like us to believe but very likely defeated by a rebel army and to cover up the ignominious defeat, subsequent rulers supported the fable of a great sandstorm swallowing an army, according to an Egyptologist Olaf Kaper, professor at Leiden University"

What a waste of time. Clickbait. fyi they never conclusively find anything. They stumble across a handful of unknown scraps. Nothing conclusive. This couldāve been shortened down into 3 min

The amount of ethnocentrism coming from all of the people interviewed is astounding.
-
this egyptian dude they put in charge of antiquities should go back and work at the local pawnshop where he is almost qualified .
-
This may be a silly question, but if they know where the site is, why not fly an airplane over it and take photos, before driving all that far?
-
Clickbait. Numerous remains ( including a persian dagger ) of the lost persian army have been discovered and recovered since years. They are showcased in the Castiglioni museum in Italy.

Bronze armour is weaker than Iron. It would be much thicker and heavier, a nightmare without wheels.
