Corrected entry: Are we to believe that the Persians who had more than 1,000,000 men had 30 scouts which were killed and used to build the wall and no more? And if that's not the case and they had hundreds of thousands of scouts why the heck didn't they find the goat path or go some other way like maybe not where the 300 Spartans were. (Yes the king wanted them dead but the idea of going around and surrounding is common knowledge to anyone).

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, when they are inspecting the "newborn" baby to determine his worthiness, the baby is at least several weeks old (the umbilical cord is gone and the navel is healed).
Correction: It would still be considered a "newborn" baby if it was a few weeks old. And it stands to reason that the Spartans would wait a while before giving a healthy-looking baby its final inspection, as it might take a while for signs of weakness or sickness to be obvious.

Correction: Not only are we supposed to believe it, this is what actually happened at Thermopylae. The wall was rebuilt (though not necessarily with dead bodies), and the Persians did not find the goat path until Ephialtes showed it to them after three days of fighting. It is a piece of history, recorded by several well-known sources.
