Historians were celebrating the hundred years of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Excavators have found a tunnel under the temple of Taposiris Magna in the western part of Alexandria. There is now a possibility that this new archaeological discovery in Egypt could take them to the tomb of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.
Suppose the mausoleum is not lost under the Mediterranean Sea. In that case, like most Hellenistic city Alexandria, it might be the most prominent archaeological finding in decades.
There is no proof for this theory. But if it did, the history of the famous Cleopatra would change forever.
