Reply to comment by FallenFamilyTree in Battle site of 'Great Revolt' recorded on Rosetta Stone unearthed in Egypt by AugustWolf22

There is little info on Wikipedia.

Most of the information about this I got from reading research papers. There are lots of things like the Rosetta Stone that reference the revolt, but the Ptolomeys wanted to destroy all evidence of it. They have found papyrus fragments that give us a little info, that's how we know about the families of the warriors being sold into slavery. There was one document that implied the Ptolomeys were concerned that Hannibal would join the rebels after the defeat of Carthage.

So fascinating! You know you could add what you've learned to Wikipedia. It's open for anyone to edit.

I created a very detailed timeline that included sources but it was online and the website is now dead, so I can't retrieve my work.

Not available using the way back machine? (Or whatever it’s called) Sounds like an interesting read
