Egypt rejects discovery of Persian army E-mail

Egypt's chief archeologist Zahi Hawass rejects the discovery of a vanished Persian army in the Egyptian deserts as "unfounded and misleading."

Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass

"I need to inform the public that recent reports published in newspapers, news agencies and TV news announcing that "twin brothers Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni have unearthed remains of the Persian army of Cambyses," are unfounded and misleading," Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities Hawass wrote in his personal blog.

Reports had earlier announced that the remains of an army led by Persian King Cambyses II had been discovered by the Castiglioni brothers in a small oasis not far from Siwa.

Some 50,000 warriors are said to have been drowned in a great sandstorm 2,500 years ago.

Hawass, however, said that as the Italian brothers had not been granted legal permission to excavate in Egypt their claims of having made a discovery was not credible.

"The brothers are not heading any archaeological mission in Berenike Panchrysos at the small Bahrin Oasis near Siwa Oasis," Hawass said in his blog entry.

"The Castiglioni brothers have not been granted permission by the SCA to excavate in Egypt, so anything they claim to find is not to be believed."

According to Hawass, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities has already informed the proper legal and security authorities in the country and they are taking necessary measures to deal with the issue.
