The lost army of cambayses

The exact size of the army lost by Cambyses II during his campaign in Egypt is uncertain, and historical accounts vary. Herodotus, a Greek historian, claimed that a massive army of 50,000 soldiers was lost in the Egyptian desert due to a sandstorm. However, the accuracy of Herodotus' account is debated among historians, and some consider it to be exaggerated or possibly a mix of different events. The true size of the lost army remains unclear, and details of the incident are not well-documented in ancient sources.
