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."
