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."

What a crock.

Besides that, the REAL find would be that of Alexander the great.

Imagine them hauling his corpse all over the place for years before they buried his ass.

MAECENAS

Now Antony must leave her utterly.

ENOBARBUS

Never. He will not.
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies, for vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish.

(18 miles) away from Alexandria

That would put the tomb somewhere around in Manassas VA.

BOL! Great FR minds have an incredible sense/recall of history!

Thanks for posting this: “Paging Mr. Rivera, Mr. Geraldo Rivera. Please put down your selfie stick, and pick up a white courtesy phone for a message.”

“Whorealdo” was the first thing that ran through my old mind.

Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass said. The 71-year-old, who has vast experience in archaeology of consensus thinking and is determined that no new dating methods be used in all of Egypt lest the historical meme be disproven.

When he finally gone perhaps Egyptian archeology will blossom ...

There was a Canadian radio comedy show called 'Pulp and Paper'.

They did a mockumenting of the fake musical 'Rock-a-By Philippi'.

At one point, the director yells, 'I wanna see the senators STAB!'

Per capita, Canada produces more comedians than any other country.

Norm MacDonald cracks me up.

“Per capita”, by the way, is Latin for “by the pound”.
