Archaeologists in Egypt have identified an area in Taposiris Magna, around 18 miles from Alexandria, where they believe Mark Antony and Cleopatra (VII)'s bodies are.

=================================================================

The long-lost tomb of Mark Antony and Cleopatra will be "uncovered soon," historians in Egypt say.

Archaeologists believe they have identified the hidden location of the crypt in which they say the leaders are buried together.

"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 71-year-old, who has vast experience in archaeology, added: "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."

Sounds a bit iffy to me. It’s why I stopped watching those discovery type shows on history channel: “ Has the long lost blah blah or so and so finally been found?” The answer is always “No.”

This is a fabricated PR piece to gin up "excitement" over the new upcoming Cleopatra film.

All news today is a lie.

Of course she was black. She was born and lived in Africa wasn’t she? All Africans are/were black, hence the saying “We wuz kings...” See Al Sharpton for historical details.

Now we’ll really find out what happened to Jimmy Hoffa.

The Nubian cleopatra?

[tstarr]

No, she was Greek Macedonian, so not black at all.

FYI, when I’m buried, leave me the heck alone.

No so sure with a name like Cleo patra sounds Irish.

[rktman]

"White" courtesy phone? A tad racis' ain't it? 😹👍🏼

[BenLurkin]

She was a Ptolemy. With a prominent proboscis.

Digging up the dead is-IMO-abominable; whether they have been dead two years or two thousand. Just to satisfy curiosity? It means nothing, now, how they lived or died. If there was no money in it(artifacts)these tombs would be left alone.

[yesthatjallen]

Yes.

That's the missing link for this non-story.

Free media hype.

Did she look like Elizabeth Taylor with very large breasts?

[rktman]

You wish? 😜
