Apologies if this is in the wrong spot, spamming was never my intention.
Anyways, after reading the lost army of Cambyses thread, I got to think :!: ing about the romance of the desert (I know, I know, it's not nearly as nice as the movies make it sound) the Foreign Legionaries going under a wave of the enemy gallantly firing to the last man, lost armies, planes, expeditions, and caravans, so what fantastic (and true) finds have been found in the desert that completely changed our understanding of ancient cultures, or just plain made us go: "Wow!"?
Anyone care to share?
