From Rossella Lorenzi at MSNBC:

“The remains of a mighty Persian army said to have drowned in the sands of the western Egyptian desert 2,500 years ago might have been finally located, solving one of archaeology’s biggest outstanding mysteries, according to Italian researchers.”

According to legend, the army was buried in a sandstorm.
