According to Herodotus' narrative, following his conquest of Egypt in 525 BC, Persian Emperor Cambyses II dispatched envoys to Macrobia. These emissaries bore opulent gifts intended to allure the Macrobian king into submission. However, the ruler of Macrobia, chosen in part for his stature, responded with a bold challenge. He presented an unstrung bow to his Persian counterpart, declaring that if the Persians could successfully string it, they would earn the right to invade his realm.
Legend also recounts the opulence of Macrobia, where gold was said to be so plentiful that even prisoners were adorned with golden chains. Additionally, it was rumored that the inhabitants of this kingdom enjoyed an extraordinary lifespan, reaching an average of 120 years.
Considering the sophistication of these people, one can only speculate about the extent of their territory and the architectural marvels they might have left behind.
If they were this advanced who knows how far their land spanned
