Cambyses in Egypt 525 BC: The Lost Army and the Cost of Imperial Overconfidence #1

Описание: Herodotus says Cambyses sent an army from Thebes toward the Siwa oracle and a single Greek sentence is the last confirmed sighting of 50,000 men—supposedly swallowed by a desert storm. But ancient figures often read like headlines, and attacking an oracle threatened a king’s legitimacy—would a ruler rather blame a sandstorm than admit he’d been out-fought?

Hi! I'm Professor Adrian Lockewell.

Welcome to my channel Archives of Humanity. I pry open the decisive minute in history—battle orders, ruined letters, a broken treaty seal—and turn artifacts into cinematic, evidence-led investigations. Expect compact forensic narratives that name the players, expose the turning point, tally the cost, and reveal how the past still pulls the levers of the present.

What to expect: immersive, source-driven episodes for curious binge-watchers who want history with stakes; clear threads from artifact to consequence; episodic runs that pair drama with forensic clarity.

Join the investigation: subscribe, hit the bell, bring your theories to the comments, and share primary sources. If you could interrogate one moment that reshaped the world, what would you ask the people who lived it? History is not what happened. It's what's still happening.
