As the archaeologists ventured deeper into the dark and musty chambers of Cleopatra's tomb, their excitement turned to unease. The air grew colder, and an eerie silence settled over the ancient burial site. But nothing could have prepared them for what they were about to uncover. Let’s take a look at what has been discovered. And how can it change history?
Egyptologist and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs of Egypt Zahi Hawass made a statement that locating Cleopatra's (and Mark Antony's) tomb would be "the most important discovery of the 21st century." Hawass said this in reference to the tomb of Cleopatra. A similar finding to that of King Tut's Tomb might keep archeologists, historians, and researchers busy for years to come while also providing insight into the nature of funerary temples in ancient civilizations. King Tut's Tomb was discovered in 1922. In addition, it is possible that long-standing concerns regarding the queen herself, especially the nature of her passing, may eventually be resolved.
