The long-lost tomb of Antony and Cleopatra has been discovered and will soon be revealed
Egypt's historians think they might soon find the long-lost tomb of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The leaders are allegedly interred together in a crypt that has been secretly located, according to archaeologists.
"The long-lost tomb of Antony and Cleopatra will be eventually uncovered. The burial site has been finally estimated to be in the region of Taposiris Magna, 30km (18 miles) away from Alexandria," Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass said. The historian, who has a wealth of archeological experience, continued: “I hope to find the tomb of Antony and Cleopatra soon. I do believe that they are buried in the same tomb.We are so close to discover the accurate location of the tomb; we are on the right way. We know where exactly we have to dig.”
The Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt was last actively ruled by Cleopatra VII Philopator. She and Mark Antony allegedly bit themselves to death in August 30 BC when she was 39 years old by letting an asp to sting them.
However, some assert that she was murdered and assert that finding her body will help produce proof to support their claim. Marcus Antonius, sometimes known as Mark Antony, was a Roman general and statesman. He was given control over Rome's eastern territories, which included Cleopatra's client kingdom of Egypt.
It happens just a few days after a Ramses II-era royal hall from antiquity was found close to the Cleopatra location in question. It was discovered below soft-brick structures and commercial neighborhoods. The Jubilee feast and other royal ceremonies were held in the hall.
