Lost Army of Dhi Qar: Desert Mystery

The Vanishing of Tens of Thousands

Imagine a force numbering tens of thousands, vanishing without a trace in the 7th century CE. Historical accounts offer several hypotheses.

Natural Disasters?

Some posit that the army perished from dehydration and starvation, lost in the unforgiving desert landscape. Others suggest a catastrophic sandstorm as the cause. However, these explanations lack definitive evidence to account for the complete annihilation of such a large, well-equipped military force.

Alternative theories propose treachery or conspiracy, perhaps orchestrated by rival factions. Some sources cite approximately forty thousand soldiers vanishing in the Arabian desert in 656 CE. Despite these accounts, conclusive evidence remains elusive. The possibility of undiscovered mass graves or concealed documents fuels ongoing speculation.
