Historians could change world history with discovery of Cleopatra's tomb. Details here

When Romans waged their battle on the Egyptian throne, Cleopatra's husband, Mark Antony, died with his own blade in his wife's arms. He was buried in a mausoleum. Later, Cleopatra visited his mausoleum and took her own life. She was buried with him.

Historians were celebrating the hundred years of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. Excavators have found a tunnel under the temple of Taposiris Magna in the western part of Alexandria. There is now a possibility that this new archaeological discovery in Egypt could take them to the tomb of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.

Suppose the mausoleum is not lost under the Mediterranean Sea. In that case, like most Hellenistic city Alexandria, it might be the most prominent archaeological finding in decades.


There is no proof for this theory. But if it did, the history of the famous Cleopatra would change forever.



Things archaeologists can find if they discover Cleopatra's tomb.

• The materials found in the mausoleum could keep historians busy for ages.

• Information about the Egyptian cult culture and a blend of Macedonian and Egyptian civilization will see a new light.

• If the Egyptian Queen's remains were found, too, it would answer many questions about her death and race.
