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."

Yo Freepers: When will the FULL “Cleopatra” be released? My understanding is that there’s about 6 hours of never-released footage. I would love to see it... If only because I have the guts for Liz...

[golux]

(HOTS) for Liz. Autocorrect. Sheesh!

Of course she was, or Macedonian strictly speaking. But let’s see how she’s portrayed if and when the tomb is actually found.

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

He worked as BIF the balloon tying circus clown for 7 or 8 years and reportedly passed away from natural causes.

I thought Marc Antony was married to JLo

Definitely.

You know that no one has mentioned the coise. Those who dig her up will suffer being bitten by hasps on her tomb.

Black hasps are deadly.

I was reading the Cleo in business with Herod the Great, had a monopoly on all the pitch used to seal ship hulls. Smart gal that.

SonuvaPitch! Antony did say she could be pitchy.

Not gonna happen. The studio got budget cutting, and the huge enviro-controlled vault with the unused film and sound elements was basicaly dumped a few years before the advent of DVD. Apparently there are some collectors who'd managed to scoop screening copies from the premiere, that's all that's left.
