Egyptian Researchers Discovered an Ancient Tunnel That Revealed the Lost Tomb of Cleopatra!

Does this secret tunnel lead to Cleopatra's lost tomb? Although the Queen of the Nile is one of the most famous women in history, her final resting place has been untraceable for centuries. But now the archaeological tide has turned - and we may be on the verge of one of the greatest sensational discoveries of all time! We have Kathleen Martínez to thank for this: the self-made archaeologist from the Dominican Republic has located Cleopatra's tomb not in her home town of Alexandria - but in a hidden vault deep beneath a mystical temple complex!

If Ms. Martinez does find the tomb, I reckon she'll quickly become the new Queen of the Nile. Good luck, girl!

It seems that Cleopatra is playing peek-a-boo with modern archaeologists! If she was really buried at Taposiris Magna, she might be sitting in her secret tomb, giggling and wondering: "Will these people find me? Maybe I should leave a treasure map?"

About ten years ago I have been inside that complex guided by a kind Bedouin guard. It is actually quite easy to reach, as it is just across the road from a vacation compound. It is clearly visible from the main road and a short distance away there is a beautiful Ptolemaic tower. I could go deep into a gigantic well and some of the excavations where I even saw parts of a skeleton and pot shards. The place is vast and in fairly good conditions, fascinating as there was nobody around. The guard told me that a Spanish lady was looking for Cleopatra's tomb. The Wikipedia page of Taposiris Magna publishes a picture I took that day.

Based on this report-video, Cleopatra was imprisoned in Alexandria by the Romans who apparently despised her. Having been imprisoned by the Romans and despised by them, it makes no sense that they would accommodate her or her people's burial requests on their own accord. Therefore, from the Roman’s perspective, they would have buried her where she died, in Alexandria. Were she buried outside of Alexandria, then that would imply that the Romans turned her body over to her family for burial at their choosing. Therefore, the real question is, what did the Romans do with her body once she died in prison, but this is not discussed in this video. In those days, far more so than now, politics REALLY mattered and were far more consequential to an empire than today… although in the world of or era of Trump, we’re catching up rapidly on the consequential part.
