A massive army of Persian King Cambyses II was said to be swallowed up by the desert in the year 525 B.C. The army, containing a whopping 50,000 soldiers, made it to a desert oasis and then was never heard from again --until now.
Up until now, most historians thought this was mostly just a story, but the discovery of a massive collection of bones and silver and bronze jewelry in the desolate Sahara Desert has them reconsidering.

"A wind arose from the south, strong and deadly, bringing with it vast columns of whirling sand, which entirely covered up the troops and caused them wholly to disappear," wrote Herodotus.

takes two roots to tangle
BTW, this is actually a healthy political move with more than symbolic significance in the sense of defending values of self-expression/ body freedom for women.
Dude! Just tits? Come one man they are not just they are something that is why so much fight. But anyway, I think it is not good for women to bath topeless in public place. However they can get topeless in women only pool.

Yeah, we got a nude beach to, but it's infested with ugly old and "probably" gay old troll men. My friends try and avoid it and would rather look directly at the sun. Funny thing is, it's against the law to go into the water naked, but I wouldn't go into that filthy lake Ontario with or without clothing on.
"Of sort", indeed. Either make those jerks wear bikini or shirt tops (and watch them bitch about it) or allow everyone to go shirtless on hot days. People need to quit acting like they've never seen a titty before.
And nudist resorts are very popular in the US. I know as I own the Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, CA. http://sunnyfun.com We have the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in Palm Springs.
Fashions change. In the late 1800's women wore full dresses from their ankles, to their wrists, to their necks and had little house carts go into the ocean or lake so they could go "swimming."
In the early 1900's if a woman showed a bare ankle she was considered immoral.
By the 1920's bare ankles were OK, bare calves were immoral.
Just like the world did not come to an end when bare ankles were first shown in public on women in the 1900's, the world will not end with topless swimming.
People should grow up. Breasts are no more sexual now than ankles were at the turn of the century. Do these moralists want woman to dress like Muslims? We"re in the year 2009 not 1909.
