Long-lost tomb of Cleopatra ŽdiscoveredŽ
[Iran Press TV Latest] Archeologists believe that they have finally found the final resting place of 'Cleopatra' -- the celebrated queen of ancient Egypt. Zahi Hawass, director of Egypt's Superior Council for Antiquities, said Wednesday that a radar survey of the Tabusiris Magna temple has found a complex tunnel system that may contain the tombs of Cleopatra VII and celebrated Roman general, Mark Antony. Teams from Egypt and the Dominican Republic will next week begin excavating the sites, which lie some 17 miles from the city of Alexandria. Posted by: Fred 2009-04-17 |
