He was also Cleopatra's lover and bore him a son, called Caesarion.

Gender confusion has apparently been around a while.

Caesarion's father was Caesar. His mother was Cleopatra. His cousin Octavian probably had Caesarion killed eventually.

Antony was back in Italy at the time doing what he did best. Being an a**hole.

[Born in Rome, Mark Antony was a military general and commander, as well as supporter of Julius Caesar. He was also Cleopatra’s lover and bore him a son, called Caesarion. ]

Using something I like to call plain English, this seems to say Mark Anthony got pregnant and bore a son to Cleopatra, who was a he. Maybe they were gods back then.

Fantastic.

I'm sorry I never got to visit Egypt. As long as I can remember I'd wanted too. There's not enough oil on the planet that could make me drag my butt to that neck of the woods now.

Augustus was not the first emperor. There had been previous dictators, the first which was Horatio Cockles who at the bridge over the Tiber, stopped the Tarquin kings from being reinstalled.

Julius Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Sulla, Gaius Marius had all been dictator (Imperator) at some time.

Until recently access to the tomb has been hindered because it is under water, but archaeologists plan to drain the site so they can begin excavation in November.

They suspect the tomb is under water?? For how long? Wouldn't that kind of effect the contents therein?

By Caesarion delivery, no doubt.

TIME MACHINE
by Howie Greenfield & Barry Mann
Recorded by Dante & the Evergreens, Madison Records #135, 1960

I opened up this here history book,
And flipped my lid when I took a look.
There on page two-nineteen
Was this here Egpytian Queen.
Although she lived in 44 BC,
Cleopatra is the chick for me.

(CHORUS)
I’m going to build a time machine,
So I can go back and make the scene.
I’m gonna make some time
With my Egyptian Queen
In my little old time machine

Pretty soon, I’ll be making the gig
When I set the doodad on my thingamajig.
I’m gonna crank and turn the dial.
Very soon, I’ll be on the Nile.
Holding hands with my Cleo kid,
Setting in the shade of a pyramid

(CHORUS)

She got a daddy rich as old King Tut.
I hear her mummy’s all wrapped up.
Got a room of diamonds on every shelf.
When I walk in, she’ll say, “help yourself.”
I’ll fill my pockets and after a while,
We’ll make some time,
Nineteen-six-o style

(CHORUS)
.
Look at that girl go
Like she sure is hep, ain’t she?
Like, wow, get the snake
Away from my girl!

Oh, no, it’s too late!

Neat trick for Mark to pull off, didn't know he could bear his own children.

On the other had, it's kind of neat. After all the stories, the movies, etc.... a possible opportunity to see some facts.

This sentence ought to be taken out and shot:

He was also Cleopatra's lover and bore him a son, called Caesarion.
