Cleopatra's lost tomb
The Week Junior Science+Nature UK
|Issue 75
You told us that historical mysteries capture your imaginations, so here's an ancient Egyptian riddle.
-
Ceopatra was the last queen of Egypt, who died a tragic and mysterious death. After her partner, the Roman general Mark Antony, died, Cleopatra locked herself inside a room with her servants. Some think she released a venomous snake, while others say she poisoned herself. Cleopatra is remembered as one of the world’s most powerful female rulers and her death has been retold by many famous storytellers, including William Shakespeare.
Her story continues to capture the world’s imagination, but even more mysterious than her death is Cleopatra’s final resting place. To this day no one knows where it is.
Who was Cleopatra?
