This is around the population figures of modern Huston Texas, or Chicago Illinois, only with no fresh water system nor sewage disposal.
Latrine pits were evidently only to be placed outside of the camp. Pity those poor bastards that needed to take a 40 mile walking round trip every time they needed to relieve themselves. Perhaps that's what killed off one and a half million of them?

One and a half million Hebrew graves in the desert. To put this in perspective, Arlington National Cemetery, in operation since 1864, or some 147 years, only contains about 300,000 graves.
Yet there are supposed to 1,500,000 Hebrew graves out there, and archaeologists can't even locate 100.
