[ *UPDATE* ] Kathleen Martinez and her team are still digging. In November they found gold pieces, face masks, and part of a necklace. Just yesterday she found two perfectly intact mummies!
They found her back in 2009 with cleo's favorite bust and coins , they where too stupid to know it was her- looking at her husband. Obviously she gave most of the wealth away when then the Romans were going to take over and had to beg for Anthony to be in the tomb with her. She settled on a corner in the room - forever looking at her love. Now leave them be!! you lot have your dna samples and 3d images. There was an amulet that was found that was cleo's favorite too and a mask of Anthony - he didn't want that in the tomb but she put it in there anyway . I get it , you are all looking for - a gold filled room - she was amazing not greedy.
I think it's so beautifully iconic that a strong and determined woman like Kathleen may just be the person to discover the tomb of a strong and determined woman such as Cleopatra. This is perfect.
@@Beansprout.2131 historically the tomb of Cleopatra have no really interest apart of if you like digging corpse.... Egypt is fascinating for its civilisation the monuments and the Pyramids... Cleopatra apart of apparently being famous has not achieve much compare to other pharaon...
Updated from 2021: Kathleen Martinez found a mummy with a gold tongue in one of the tombs. The other 15 burials also date back around 2,000 years and contain remarkable treasure. In one, a female mummy is wearing a death mask that covers much of her body and depicts her with a headdress while smiling. Excavation of the site and analysis of the remains is still ongoing.
what if kathleen martinez is cleopatra reincarnated trying to find her own body in this modern world is why she is so determined and sure her tomb is near by plus she is as intelligent as cleopatra was ,graduated law school at 18 with a master's degree in finance and a master's degree in archaeology ,yo i have a funny far fetched idea that she low key cleopatra driven to find her own tomb to put her mind and soul at ease lol
Oh my God! I was thinking the same thing! Reincarnation! I'm sooooo fascinated by Dr. Martinez's determination, motivation, and intelligence. Everybody were skeptical about her theories but she stood up for what she believed in... and now, because of her amazing discoveries, the history books have to be rewritten. Her strong personality is that of a leader. A queen. Just like Cleopatra.
And I thought I could only be the crazy one who thought exactly the same lol I mean look at her facial features. Kathleen can pass as Cleopatra's descendant too.
This woman is amazing. Even if she doesn't find Cleopatra's tomb. She an criminal lawyer, doing this in her spare time. Has proved wrong professional qualified archiologists by proving it wasn't just an unfinished temple. You go girl
She's has moved to Egypt and this way spends more time digging! She was made Egypt cultural ambassador and has a diplomatic passport! She does many other things! She was a lawyer at 18!
All i can say is i wish this lady all the success with her endeavor she absolutely deserves it even if she doesn't discover Cleopatra's tomb she's already proved the experts wrong and made several important breakthroughs
Idk but I think Cleo did not committed suicide. She's a smart woman and dying for a man is the last thing she would do. She was highly capable, she was a queen, she was a mother, she was a billonaire in her time. Which means she was very influential and she had lots of loyal slaves and followers. People in her time are very monotonuous. They serve their masters until their last breaths. It would have been easy for Cleo to fake her death she had thousands of slaves she might have sacrificed one that resembled her, have someone spread about it, bribed officials to confirm her death (which prolly they took the secret to their grave), and she escaped disguised as a commoner off to somewhere else. A smart queen like her would have easily survived living in neighboring lands as she spoke lots of languages. She prolly brought enough of her jewels for sustainance, and brought closest of her slaves and guards and they lived quite normal lives. OR Octavian may have ordered to murder her but failed to do so as she fled prior. And to console his ego, he had to write history saying she killed herself. It's a form of insult to convey a powerful queen taking her own life for a man with a lower status than her. Which explains why they haven't found her tomb. But idk tho 'cause I ain't historian. Just my two cents. 😂
The7thTaciturnWriter ancient Egyptians believed that the proper preservation and burial (with riches and fancy tombs) of their pharaohs allowed the pharaohs to live forever and advocate for the people to the gods in the afterlife. They believed that the entire fate of the country depended on the proper mummification, burial, and honouring of the pharaoh. It’s very possible and even likely that Cleopatra would have sacrificed her life so that her body would definitely be buried properly and allow her to watch over and help the Egyptian people in the afterlife. If the romans had killed her and not mummified her, or worse, mutilated her, according to her beliefs, she would have been destroying Egypt and betraying her subjects. The crops wouldn’t grow, there would be pestilence, etc.

She was off'd by Octavian's henchies. And the kid she had by Julius Caesar as well. Cleopatra's death would have been passed off as suicide, she was surrounded by Octavians men - who could say different? Witnesses? Cleopatra had a brilliant knack for multiple languages, as did her little sister (the one she had murdered). Too bad Cleopatra understood jacksquat about military strategy. Siding with Marc Antony was not a smart choice in the end.
I'm a historian and I really liked your two cents very smart and interesting. I wish people were allowed to make such assumptions in history and then deduce because we barely know 1% of the details in ancient history through archeological evidence. I love formulating stories.
A brilliant, intelligent and determined woman, who no doubt faced being dismissed by many, many ( male ) archeologists, but she believed in her instincts and her scrupulous research.Her discoveries so far have firmly cemented her reputation as a serious Egyptologist - absolutely fascinating, and thanks for posting :)
well you should go n look which part attracts u most hire few locals n get started with digging, if she can do it with ZERO experience u should be able to do it too, all it needs is compassion :)
I did too, but it's a very expensive and dangerous career and extremely difficult to get access to the sites and countries you want. I guess that's why most people don't do it. If you aren't already rich it's almost impossible to be a credible and respected archaeologist.
I'm currently an intern in my country's national museum archaeological division. Been really thinking if I should really pursue and further my knowledge in archaeology. And this archaeologist Kathleen really inspires me to study hard and be an archaeologist.
There should be a follow up from this, especially when Kathleen just found 2 possible tombs. After watching this video, I believe that Kathleen is on the right track in finding Cleopatra's tomb. I hope that she does, because it will give us more insight on the Great Egyptian Queen. Kathleen has done a wonderful job so far in this discovery, for being a Criminal Lawyer, where the Archeologist have failed to find.
SBell1959 but Antony's body was cremated and his ashes given to Cleopatra. Cleopatra died that same night when she went to inter Antony's ashes in the tomb she had built for them. The tomb was not very far from the palace.
Thanks. Will you do another video, about the 2 tombs that you have found at the end of this video. I hope you do. Really hope those 2 tombs are of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony.
i guess you do not know how Egypt politics goes in Egypt hey ? if you find something thathas historical that can probaly lead to discovery of artifacts about about egypts disnaty of the past they will give you the right to dig but as you find more and more artifacts related to those dinasty they will keep an eyes on your progress and when you get closse to a major break thru thats when they cut you off from it and their own archeologist take over and sends you back to your country so they can keep their treasures of the past in their country ' To many archeologist from foreign countries rubbed them of their artifacts in the past and they diceded to take control of their archeologic sites and they are right to do so cause we in return wouldn't allow strangers to dig in our country and leave with artifact from here either
There is soooo much to dig here in Egypt, that archeologists just cannot keep the pace of grave robbers who still make incredible discoveries which, unfortunately, end up in private and secret collections. In the meantime though, they destroy precious historical evidence.
Imagine the ancient Egyptians did all this to preserve their bodies and their culture because they knew in the future a more advanced civilisation would find them and their culture could go on and live for ever in history as they are actually doing now it’s just mind blowing and fascinating, I love it ❤️
Catherine, what an incredible lawer, self made archaeologist. Awesome finding. I really like to see the mummy of Cleopatra, the most beautiful and most powerful woman of ancient Egypt.
This is absolutely amazing, I've always been fascinated with anything Egyptian and OH MY GOODNESS how spectacular would it be if this intelligent and determined woman was correct and she found Cleopatra's final resting place
I saw Dr Hawass so thoroughly disrespect this archaeologist on TV that it was shameful. It was also typical of how he treated other professionals. He was finally caught selling Egyptian artifacts to collectors and fired from his position as Director of Antiquities.
He’s not minister of antiquities anymore but is always associated with the current minister. Archeology has a corrupt culture in it just like everything else in the world.
National Geographic channel has been showing the documentaries about the Lost Treasures of Egypt, recently. I saw the documentary about searching for Cleopatra's lost tomb yesterday, and it ended with Kathleen Martinez finding a shaft sunk deep into the ground near the temple of Isis, but then her time was up, and she had to leave Egypt! The date on the documentary was 2019. Does that mean that the documentary was filmed in 2018? I saw this video's title, and jumped on it! Thanks for sharing this documentary on UA-cam! I am so interested in Egyptology!! This video was wonderful!! ~Janet in Canada
I was there a couple of years ago and actually went down a couple of other easily stepped shafts, not shown in the video, with a very kind Bedouin guide. I saw human remains (I have pictures). I touched nothing. Though slightly dramatized, the video is true and the guide told me about the excavations by a "Spanish" woman. Strangely, the video does not show some very evident Greek inscriptions on some of the walls in the temple. The large shaft is very impressive and deep. The location is easy to reach, but you need to have good connections with the Bedouins in order to enter the complex. They are very kind and cannot be bribed, but are easy to be offended if you don't know how to deal with them.
only a novice can find it cuz that person works hard and strives for it and thinks outside the box while on the other hand experts think within the box and think they are the best, which is why they dont find it .
Who also enthusiastically supported her claims in public already in 2009: www.nbcnews.com/id/30309472/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/mummies-statues-point-cleopatra-tomb/#.W7-bzGhLhPY (he has retired BTW. )
Update of March 2024: With additional research, and by reaching out to sub-aquatic archaeologist Robert Ballard (the diver who located the Titanic) for assistance, Kathleen Martinez began her exploration of the submerged Alexandria with approval from the government who even offered her resources and equipment to aid in finding the tomb of Cleopatra.
I have been watching kathleen on TV. Just found this video. She does deserve to find her. She has done so much work on this I feel sure that she is very close. I'm cheering for you kathleen. Best wishes and luck from Ireland. 🇮🇪
Trivia: Kathleen is 52 years old at the making of this video, in 2018! I thought she was 27 the most! Let's say she might be 50, because of the post-filming production etc. She's as beautiful as Cleopatra was! I wish her all the best finding Cleopatra's body and then, she'll prove, she's the best archaeologist in the world !!👍
Wow this is amazing, it would be great if another follow up documentary could be done to see where she is now. Carry on Kathleen your do an amazing job and your doing an amazing job for women around the world. The world especially schools should be shown these things because they are so important to our history and we don’t get to see or hear much of what is found in Egypt and it is really important for us to know and pass on to the next generations.
For those who believe in past lives (as I do), perhaps this brave woman is the reincarnation of the great Queen herself and is seeking to connect with and redeem her own past. Looked at from that perspective, this adventure becomes worthy of a legend. Keep in mind that Omm Sety of England spent her life in Egypt excavating the tomb of Seti I for similar reasons.
Extremely fascinating documentary...this channel should have more subscribers, I can't believe so many people are missing this. I think Kathleen is a descendant of Cleopatra for sure or why would she had this hunch about her.
I just think she is an amazing lady and I hope and pray that she will find Cleopatra's tomb. It would be fantastic and proof that perseverance pays off.
"I feel in my heart that the thumb of Cleopatra is under my feet" Cathrine say so.. I guess , you really are the reincarnation of the Egypt last queen. Lol
@@Jigglejagglewagglegigglewiggle No I think your wrong she is just so determined to find Cleopatras tomb in the video she did not even mention for once that she is just doing it for fame.
What incredible and dedicated detective work this woman and her team have done. I hope and pray the tomb is complete and in tact, and protected as a national treasure.
What is the greatest discoveries? Since now it is nice finds...no real fuzz in comparison to many other archeological sights around the world. I think even, that cleopatra is just big because of our imagination, because most facts of her even suggest her being more capable being scientific than of any political significance. Character even suggests to me, that she was to much a narcissistic coward to really commit suicide. She probably lived along somewhere hidden.
when get older go to Egypt and experience the real temples. It feels like those statues scriptures and paintings are talking to you. I spent 8 days there and I still want to go back.
It's a tragedy that this place was so neglected by the 'professional' archaeologists for so long. How much have these 'professionals' missed? The problem is we continue to depend on these academic people to give us the official version of history which is to be taken as gospel truth.
FURTHER INFO: This video was from 2015. Kathleen continued to post to her social media account throughout the 2016/17 season. No major discoveries were posted. Her social media account was quite throughout 2018. From this we can probably deduce that she did not find what she was looking for or has encountered problems with continuing her work.
The cleopartra was then she did. If Kathlean finding of the toom where cleopatra was found, then it can be found I know cleopatra toom could be, it’s under ground I know it is They need to look underground and dig and there is the toom The toom of cliopartra Tooms of agent egiptyns are all eround is easiest too fined
Olly Thomas Apologies, I was just kidding.😁 Having watched this documentary I must say, Kathleen has done a remarkable job, And brought about a real positive stepping stone, I see from your comment, she hasn’t found anything more in regards to the search. Are her and her team still out there do you know.,
Olly Thomas me too, it’s remarkable. Can you possibly imagine the buzz of doing something like this. I myself although not quite in the same bracket, 😁 But have found many interesting item’s hoard hunting. From Roman silver hammered coins, to a solid silver ring, dating back 500yr’s. Unfortunately, not enough to be classed as a “Hoard” as such But still, interesting finds.
What I keep returning to in my mind is how difficult it must have been for Kathleen Martinez to establish professional credibility in a largely male dominated Egyptian culture. None the less, her persistence and patience is inspiring and of critical importance in uncovering the truth of our past.... much of it recorded by (and in support of) the victors and winners of a violent and tumultuous past.
When a man dares to do something unbelievable, everybody is watching his success. If a woman dares to do so, everybody is watching her waist and her shoes. At least that's what comments say. Smh.
The look on this beautiful woman's face when she came up from the shaft with the skull, marble and pottery was absolutely priceless. =) "..the most important Ptolemaic temple site in Northern Egypt." Discovered by a mostly amateur, "self-trained" archaeologist/Egyptologist AFTER full fledged, Full-on, 100% "experts" have gone through the site and deemed it mostly worthless. What else have these "experts" missed in their careers. I am loving Ms. Martinez more and more as each minute goes by. Thankfully she is young. I look forward to hearing of her discoveries in the future!
I’m starting to think that she is Cleopatra’s reign carnation... when I have enough money to go overseas, my second choice will be Egypt, cuz like there are SOO many histories about the Egyptian Pharaohs
I don't see how it is significant that she is beautful or a woman and I don't see why you would need to add that she has a brain as well, granted that she is actually a highly educated person. Let's reverse for fun: "Ah that David Attenborough ... a beautiful male naturalist, with a brain, just like Darwin. He indeed could be the one to find a last surviving Dodo or Tasmanian tiger".
Cleopatra, by all accounts deemed reliable, was not a beautiful woman at all. Big hooknose, high forehead, short, a bit tubby past her teens. She just had good skin by bathing in milk with honey every day and was promiscuous as all hell, she was not falconpunched by her husband for nothing. She was simply lauded for her beauty because she was a ruthless ruler. Would you go in front of Saddam and call him an uggo or be nice? Next you will tell me Cleopatra was an actual Eyptian.
Thank you for this wholey enjoyable video, I was glued to it, Will you do a follow up to keep us all updated on her quest , I for one would welcome it with open arms,
INFOCLIPSTERS Hell is that painful,?? (Hunches that is) shouldn't think that she would allow you to dig all day with that problem, but who knows, get in touch with her and ask, she seem a fare person, although she turned me down because I told her my only qualification was I came first in the " village idiot competition." Well I got a qualification that she don't got
Really curious after watching her journey on NatGeo.. How her digging permit was expired just when she uncovered that passage is just like... wow!! Makes me more curious.. And then came the pandemic.. I hope we will have great news from her and her journey finding Cleopatra's tomb..
Egyptian builders are amazing. To remove so much rock and earth centuries ago.. it still looks like it was made yesterday. The technology and detail is outstanding.. How did they do it.? Its Extraordinary. I think this lady is destined to find her. She has probably manifested this moment since she began many years ago. I sincerely hope her latest quest is the greatest of them all.. I wonder if Alexander the great's final resting place is near there aswell.. it would make perfect sense to be amongst the Valley of the Kings..
Absolutely fascinating, hope to see the confirmation of the discovery of Cleopatra's tomb but please lower or take that music out as people hard of hearing have problems listening to the narrator.
Once again an outsider puts a dent in the hubris of an entire scientific community. Sometimes I can't believe how narrow-minded scientists of all people can be.
just as ironic as the religious folk that hail insults and spread naive lies about science, all the while sat in their comfortable warm houses communicating, globally, instantly.. 🤔 'hmmmmm
Are there any more videos of Kathleen continuing her digs here? Please let me know!! This is ending in a cliffhanger and i really want to know if they got any more clues that led to Cleopatra's tomb.
This is a prime example of thinking out of the box! All these rusted Egyptologists had it all wrong, while an outsider is on the point of the discovery of a lifetime!!!
meany mummy came from Taposiris Magna and throughout Egypt and sent back the UK, U.S.A. and other countries to be opened and unwrapped in so called " Mummy parties" and then burnt just for the entertainment of the rich nobility . could it be that Cleopatra was one of these and how many did we lose ????
Dear Kathleen, you are a wonderful person and an amazing archeologists. Your discoveries have been mind blowing. I wish you much luck in one day finding the great Queen Cleopatras tomb and mummy. I look forward to you getting recognition for all your finds in Egyptian history. 👏🏼🥰
If that site is Cleopatra's tomb site or not. I can confirm that archeologists by profession were not the Best. Most of the greatest find in our history was done by some professionals who are just enthusiastic to someone or the history of a land. And became an Archeologists.
Very nice. Very very exciting. I am so thrilled to see this. Still have the passion of a child. Will show this to my students. I feel really claustrophobic even by just seeing people going down narrow passages.
How happy it makes me to see a woman from a small country with basically no investment in science and investigation like mine (Dominican Republic) making such amazing descoveries.
Cleopatra's Tomb was her palace, on a man-made island just off the city around the river mouth delta. That part of the city sunk under the water over time.
Brilliant woman. I hope so much that she is right and she finds Cleo. Goodness knows she deserves to! I remember seeing an early program on tv about her dig when she first began and she was clearly being treated as a silly amateur, laughed at - ha! no-one is laughing now tht she has proved herself and her sixth sense about what she is searching for. It reminds me of Schliemann, who found Troy despite the mockery that was levelled at his conviction that he could do so. Go for it, Kathleen.
This was fascinating, wanted to see more. My only confusion was, if people supposedly checked out that area before Kathleen, how come they didn't find anything ? What were they doing the whole time, having cigarette and tea breaks ??
9:46 It doesn't say Basilisias (however she pronounced it meaning queen...) but VASILEOS (ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ)which means KING in Greek. Thus refering to her self, as Byzantine empresses later, in the masculine.
[ *UPDATE* ] Kathleen Martinez and her team are still digging. In November they found gold pieces, face masks, and part of a necklace. Just yesterday she found two perfectly intact mummies!

Great, thank you @Anni. ¦:^)
So glad to know that she was allowed to continue exploring!!! Will follow on Instagram!
They found her back in 2009 with cleo's favorite bust and coins , they where too stupid to know it was her- looking at her husband. Obviously she gave most of the wealth away when then the Romans were going to take over and had to beg for Anthony to be in the tomb with her. She settled on a corner in the room - forever looking at her love. Now leave them be!! you lot have your dna samples and 3d images. There was an amulet that was found that was cleo's favorite too and a mask of Anthony - he didn't want that in the tomb but she put it in there anyway .

i guess you do not know how Egypt politics goes in Egypt hey ? if you find something thathas historical that can probaly lead to discovery of artifacts about about egypts disnaty of the past they will give you the right to dig but as you find more and more artifacts related to those dinasty they will keep an eyes on your progress and when you get closse to a major break thru thats when they cut you off from it and their own archeologist take over and sends you back to your country so they can keep their treasures of the past in their country ' To many archeologist from foreign countries rubbed them of their artifacts in the past and they diceded to take control of their archeologic sites and they are right to do so cause we in return wouldn't allow strangers to dig in our country and leave with artifact from here either
There is soooo much to dig here in Egypt, that archeologists just cannot keep the pace of grave robbers who still make incredible discoveries which, unfortunately, end up in private and secret collections. In the meantime though, they destroy precious historical evidence.
@@guytremblay1647 thats good for the country.too many artifacts have gone in foreign museums
The fact that she now found 2 intact mummies is mind blowing!😱☺
Patricia Liga not that mind blowing,it’s Egypt,loads of mummies all around the place,especially in temple cites
She is an experience lawyer, her vision are more real than an archeologist , no sub estimate her.
She has the energy and I hope she find it.
Imagine the ancient Egyptians did all this to preserve their bodies and their culture because they knew in the future a more advanced civilisation would find them and their culture could go on and live for ever in history as they are actually doing now it’s just mind blowing and fascinating, I love it ❤️
Tomb raiding was a huge and profitable problem
The Egyptians did there best to make it hard to find the buriel sites
Or they feared a more primitive civilization finding and looting it just as the Egyptians themselves did to the pyramids.
They didn't preserve their bodies so someone would find them; they did it so they could use them in the afterlife. That's what they believed.
@ still, their wishes are granted, their bodies and history is immortalized for ever!! In a way they are living for ever
Thank you so much for posting this inspiring and informative documentary! I wish Dr. Kathleen Martinez and team the best of success!
This women is amazing! She has a feeling and follows it, and see where this brought her. I keep following her for sure.
Catherine, what an incredible lawer, self made archaeologist. Awesome finding. I really like to see the mummy of Cleopatra, the most beautiful and most powerful woman of ancient Egypt.
I find those documentaries so relaxing it makes me sleep deep
Lol I thought it was just me
Same I can’t watch documentaries without falling asleep
Same er
She's stubborn, persistent and fearless! Damn, going down that deep shaft all by herself with a GoPro. What an incredible woman.
The diggers had already been down and cleared the rubble.
This is absolutely amazing, I've always been fascinated with anything Egyptian and OH MY GOODNESS how spectacular would it be if this intelligent and determined woman was correct and she found Cleopatra's final resting place
Just as spectacular as if a man found it.
I saw Dr Hawass so thoroughly disrespect this archaeologist on TV that it was shameful. It was also typical of how he treated other professionals. He was finally caught selling Egyptian artifacts to collectors and fired from his position as Director of Antiquities.
Then later reinstated
Who has the last laugh now? What a thougherly dislikeable guy he was!
Pharaons 'curse on Him!
He’s not minister of antiquities anymore but is always associated with the current minister. Archeology has a corrupt culture in it just like everything else in the world.
The way Zahi Hawaz used to talk & act ~ was the tell tale sign of his real character 🤣
National Geographic channel has been showing the documentaries about the Lost Treasures of Egypt, recently. I saw the documentary about searching for Cleopatra's lost tomb yesterday, and it ended with Kathleen Martinez finding a shaft sunk deep into the ground near the temple of Isis, but then her time was up, and she had to leave Egypt! The date on the documentary was 2019. Does that mean that the documentary was filmed in 2018? I saw this video's title, and jumped on it! Thanks for sharing this documentary on UA-cam! I am so interested in Egyptology!! This video was wonderful!! ~Janet in Canada
I wish there was somewhere we could see everything she has discovered - shafts, tombs, pottery, busts etc etc and a timeline
She is on instagram. Follow her
Could she find Cleopatra's eyeliner too
Angel Ilaida yeah she did found something that may be used for cleopatras eyeliner
I hope they find what brand is it.
@@leahjane3484 LOL
@@leahjane3484 channel?? 😂
31:11 So they DiD find It 😂😂
I really hope we get to see further updates on this womans findings. Just fabulous
I was there a couple of years ago and actually went down a couple of other easily stepped shafts, not shown in the video, with a very kind Bedouin guide. I saw human remains (I have pictures). I touched nothing. Though slightly dramatized, the video is true and the guide told me about the excavations by a "Spanish" woman. Strangely, the video does not show some very evident Greek inscriptions on some of the walls in the temple. The large shaft is very impressive and deep.
The location is easy to reach, but you need to have good connections with the Bedouins in order to enter the complex. They are very kind and cannot be bribed, but are easy to be offended if you don't know how to deal with them.
Amazing that a novice finds what the experts overlooked . She has made amazing discoveries here. An impressive young woman.
only a novice can find it cuz that person works hard and strives for it and thinks outside the box while on the other hand experts think within the box and think they are the best, which is why they dont find it .
She studied also archaeolgy, so she is not a completely "novice".
Archeologist know what is there and where Cleo is , they hold a lit of hidden past back from us
Dr Zahi Hawass, that's the problem right there, the most corrupt person in Egyptology.
True that
Who also enthusiastically supported her claims in public already in 2009: www.nbcnews.com/id/30309472/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/mummies-statues-point-cleopatra-tomb/#.W7-bzGhLhPY (he has retired BTW. )
How do you know that?
why do you think that?
I've not heard these bad stories why do u say this about him?
Update of March 2024: With additional research, and by reaching out to sub-aquatic archaeologist Robert Ballard (the diver who located the Titanic) for assistance, Kathleen Martinez began her exploration of the submerged Alexandria with approval from the government who even offered her resources and equipment to aid in finding the tomb of Cleopatra.
I have been watching kathleen on TV. Just found this video. She does deserve to find her. She has done so much work on this I feel sure that she is very close. I'm cheering for you kathleen. Best wishes and luck from Ireland. 🇮🇪
Trivia: Kathleen is 52 years old at the making of this video, in 2018! I thought she was 27 the most! Let's say she might be 50, because of the post-filming production etc. She's as beautiful as Cleopatra was!
I wish her all the best finding Cleopatra's body and then, she'll prove, she's the best archaeologist in the world !!👍
She looks like 35 at the most. 😮
Cleopatra was not beautiful at all so she had all her statues etc. made beautiful so future people would think that she was 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧
Wow this is amazing, it would be great if another follow up documentary could be done to see where she is now. Carry on Kathleen your do an amazing job and your doing an amazing job for women around the world. The world especially schools should be shown these things because they are so important to our history and we don’t get to see or hear much of what is found in Egypt and it is really important for us to know and pass on to the next generations.
For those who believe in past lives (as I do), perhaps this brave woman is the reincarnation of the great Queen herself and is seeking to connect with and redeem her own past. Looked at from that perspective, this adventure becomes worthy of a legend. Keep in mind that Omm Sety of England spent her life in Egypt excavating the tomb of Seti I for similar reasons.
I thought so too.
Yay still watching this 2020, Happy New year
HAPPY.
2021 🚪🏃🏻♀️💨
Extremely fascinating documentary...this channel should have more subscribers, I can't believe so many people are missing this. I think Kathleen is a descendant of Cleopatra for sure or why would she had this hunch about her.
Cleopatra is mainly of Macedonia stock , I wonder if the other chamber is where her brother is buried or her child ? ?
Goodluck dr kathleen! May you find the discovery of the century!
Kathleen’s determination and tenacity and her findings are amazing. ❤🙏🏻🙌👏
I just think she is an amazing lady and I hope and pray that she will find Cleopatra's tomb. It would be fantastic and proof that perseverance pays off.
"I feel in my heart that the thumb of Cleopatra is under my feet" Cathrine say so.. I guess , you really are the reincarnation of the Egypt last queen. Lol
All she wants is just fame
@@Jigglejagglewagglegigglewiggle you really are sour ...
@@SlavicStar14 watch out before I squeeze the sour juice in your eyes
@@Jigglejagglewagglegigglewiggle No I think your wrong she is just so determined to find Cleopatras tomb in the video she did not even mention for once that she is just doing it for fame.
@@safouraaghighi7749 yeah your opinion nobody will tell their intentions to public when they have reputation. I still hold my point
This woman is absolutely amazing. Ive been infatuated with her dedication and continued success for hours on youtube.
What incredible and dedicated detective work this woman and her team have done. I hope and pray the tomb is complete and in tact, and protected as a national treasure.
Egypt honestly has the most interesting history. They will be finding things forever
This is awesome! Self Taught Archeologist making the greatest discoveries of our time!😍
Exactly so, Brit :)
What is the greatest discoveries? Since now it is nice finds...no real fuzz in comparison to many other archeological sights around the world.
I think even, that cleopatra is just big because of our imagination, because most facts of her even suggest her being more capable being scientific than of any political significance. Character even suggests to me, that she was to much a narcissistic coward to really commit suicide. She probably lived along somewhere hidden.
great job Kathleen. i can't wait to see more of your findings of Cleopatra's lost tomb
What an amazing discovery. I might be young but I have a great passion for history, mostly Egypt
when get older go to Egypt and experience the real temples. It feels like those statues scriptures and paintings are talking to you. I spent 8 days there and I still want to go back.
It's a tragedy that this place was so neglected by the 'professional' archaeologists for so long. How much have these 'professionals' missed? The problem is we continue to depend on these academic people to give us the official version of history which is to be taken as gospel truth.
TRAGEDY
It's a racket unfortunately.
My girlfriend should be an archeologist....she digs up more of my past than I even recalled myself
hahahhaha
😂
FURTHER INFO:
This video was from 2015. Kathleen continued to post to her social media account throughout the 2016/17 season. No major discoveries were posted. Her social media account was quite throughout 2018. From this we can probably deduce that she did not find what she was looking for or has encountered problems with continuing her work.
The cleopartra was then she did.
If Kathlean finding of the toom where cleopatra was found, then it can be found
I know cleopatra toom could be, it’s under ground I know it is
They need to look underground and dig and there is the toom
The toom of cliopartra
Tooms of agent egiptyns are all eround is easiest too fined
@@godsbeast.69 I'm sorry Wg Fab, I don't mean to be rude but your English is so bad, I don't actually know what you are trying to say?
Olly Thomas Apologies, I was just kidding.😁
Having watched this documentary
I must say,
Kathleen has done a remarkable job,
And brought about a real positive stepping stone,
I see from your comment, she hasn’t found anything more in regards to the search.
Are her and her team still out there do you know.,
@@godsbeast.69 No idea unfortunately. Hopefully she is.
Olly Thomas me too, it’s remarkable.
Can you possibly imagine the buzz of doing something like this.
I myself although not quite in the same bracket, 😁
But have found many interesting item’s hoard hunting.
From Roman silver hammered coins,
to a solid silver ring, dating back 500yr’s.
Unfortunately, not enough to be classed as a “Hoard” as such
But still, interesting finds.
Thank you RTHD for the upload.
Watching from NSW Australia.
Imagine this girl studying about cleopatra's life is cleopatra reincarnate.
What I keep returning to in my mind is how difficult it must have been for Kathleen Martinez to establish professional credibility in a largely male dominated Egyptian culture. None the less, her persistence and patience is inspiring and of critical importance in uncovering the truth of our past.... much of it recorded by (and in support of) the victors and winners of a violent and tumultuous past.
When a man dares to do something unbelievable, everybody is watching his success. If a woman dares to do so, everybody is watching her waist and her shoes. At least that's what comments say. Smh.
Мария Совдагарова hence proved?
The look on this beautiful woman's face when she came up from the shaft with the skull, marble and pottery was absolutely priceless. =) "..the most important Ptolemaic temple site in Northern Egypt." Discovered by a mostly amateur, "self-trained" archaeologist/Egyptologist AFTER full fledged, Full-on, 100% "experts" have gone through the site and deemed it mostly worthless. What else have these "experts" missed in their careers. I am loving Ms. Martinez more and more as each minute goes by. Thankfully she is young. I look forward to hearing of her discoveries in the future!
And Dominican, nothing to do with Egypt 🙌🙌
Am so excited about Cleopatra...and the history of Egypt...so ancient yet so modern.. amazing😃
Kathleen Martinez is an amazing lady!! I’m extremely proud of her, a fellow Latina who has stunned the world
Those programs always ends in the same way lots of promises and no delivery.
Thank you for the excellent video! This lady is a Queen of archeology!
Not sure about a criminal lawyer Her shoes in that library were criminal
😀😀😀😀
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
that's the damn truth. plenty of evidence for that ahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yep but she was so badass
Lee Deeth yeah, got me distracted😆
Yup. Found the perv.
Hahahaha
Truly fascinating and full of intrigue, well done this lady.
5 minutes of information strached into a 45 minute video. Well done.
That's because they want to show every detail and give information to people that aren't familiar with the history (probably lol).
I’m starting to think that she is Cleopatra’s reign carnation... when I have enough money to go overseas, my second choice will be Egypt, cuz like there are SOO many histories about the Egyptian Pharaohs
a beautiful woman archaeologist with a brain, just like Cleopatra. a good and informative video. She indeed could be the one to find Cleopatra's body.
I don't see how it is significant that she is beautful or a woman and I don't see why you would need to add that she has a brain as well, granted that she is actually a highly educated person.
Let's reverse for fun:
"Ah that David Attenborough ... a beautiful male naturalist, with a brain, just like Darwin. He indeed could be the one to find a last surviving Dodo or Tasmanian tiger".
get lost. idiot. we dont live by your rules and judgmental.
"a beautiful woman archaeologist with a brain, just like Cleopatra"
*Cleopatra wasn't an archaeologist, so that's a dumb thing to say.*
thats your opinion. get lost loser.
Cleopatra, by all accounts deemed reliable, was not a beautiful woman at all. Big hooknose, high forehead, short, a bit tubby past her teens.
She just had good skin by bathing in milk with honey every day and was promiscuous as all hell, she was not falconpunched by her husband for nothing. She was simply lauded for her beauty because she was a ruthless ruler. Would you go in front of Saddam and call him an uggo or be nice?
Next you will tell me Cleopatra was an actual Eyptian.
She is making me, to love Archeology more.
Thank you for this wholey enjoyable video, I was glued to it,
Will you do a follow up to keep us all updated on her quest , I for one would welcome it with open arms,
I hope there's an update and part 2 of this. I can't wait to watch.
I have checked her ig account and she posted that she found 2 intact mummies 2 days ago from now
I have hunches, can i help her ?
INFOCLIPSTERS
Hell is that painful,?? (Hunches that is) shouldn't think that she would allow you to dig all day with that problem, but who knows, get in touch with her and ask, she seem a fare person, although she turned me down because I told her my only qualification was I came first in the " village idiot competition." Well I got a qualification that she don't got
What’s her ig account please?
Really curious after watching her journey on NatGeo..
How her digging permit was expired just when she uncovered that passage is just like... wow!! Makes me more curious.. And then came the pandemic..
I hope we will have great news from her and her journey finding Cleopatra's tomb..
Egyptian builders are amazing. To remove so much rock and earth centuries ago.. it still looks like it was made yesterday. The technology and detail is outstanding.. How did they do it.? Its Extraordinary. I think this lady is destined to find her. She has probably manifested this moment since she began many years ago. I sincerely hope her latest quest is the greatest of them all.. I wonder if Alexander the great's final resting place is near there aswell.. it would make perfect sense to be amongst the Valley of the Kings..
Are there any follow up videos? I am very very interested in watching. This was so amazing!!
Absolutely fascinating, hope to see the confirmation of the discovery of Cleopatra's tomb but please lower or take that music out as people hard of hearing have problems listening to the narrator.
Once again an outsider puts a dent in the hubris of an entire scientific community. Sometimes I can't believe how narrow-minded scientists of all people can be.
Mention the existence of a God to them and they close their minds completely.
just as ironic as the religious folk that hail insults and spread naive lies about science, all the while sat in their comfortable warm houses communicating, globally, instantly.. 🤔 'hmmmmm
Let's just agree to disagree
The skeptics of today are actually not real skeptics (of the past and by definition).
It's sad that there has been no follow up to this channel 4 documentary.
Sharene Robertson m
Are there any more videos of Kathleen continuing her digs here?
Please let me know!! This is ending in a cliffhanger and i really want to know if they got any more clues that led to Cleopatra's tomb.
This is a prime example of thinking out of the box! All these rusted Egyptologists had it all wrong, while an outsider is on the point of the discovery of a lifetime!!!
Excellent, cheers. **Makes mental note to come back and watch the follow-up.**
You'll probably be waiting some time... 3 seasons have passed without discovery
meany mummy came from Taposiris Magna and throughout Egypt and sent back the UK, U.S.A. and other countries to be opened and unwrapped in so called " Mummy parties" and then burnt just for the entertainment of the rich nobility . could it be that Cleopatra was one of these and how many did we lose ????
mummy parties..yeah sure!
+simon north. True.
There should be follow ups on this! Pleeeaasseee!
Fascinating! I wish Kathleen Martinez every success in her venture.
Legend says Kathleen is still digging to this day
logic says hard work and passion leads to greatness :)
Dear Kathleen, you are a wonderful person and an amazing archeologists. Your discoveries have been mind blowing. I wish you much luck in one day finding the great Queen Cleopatras tomb and mummy. I look forward to you getting recognition for all your finds in Egyptian history. 👏🏼🥰
If that site is Cleopatra's tomb site or not. I can confirm that archeologists by profession were not the Best. Most of the greatest find in our history was done by some professionals who are just enthusiastic to someone or the history of a land. And became an Archeologists.
This is evidence of how it is better that sometimes somethings should be looked at with fresh eyes
Incredible. She’s a marvel for every young girl who dreams of Science, archaeology and exploration.
Very nice. Very very exciting. I am so thrilled to see this. Still have the passion of a child. Will show this to my students. I feel really claustrophobic even by just seeing people going down narrow passages.
How happy it makes me to see a woman from a small country with basically no investment in science and investigation like mine (Dominican Republic) making such amazing descoveries.
This is so interesting, I have always been fascinated with Egypt and Cleopatra. :)
Cleopatra's Tomb was her palace, on a man-made island just off the city around the river mouth delta. That part of the city sunk under the water over time.
Great video of archeology. Love her attire on the field work. Also wow! ...on the 'big grey balloon' or ETV/UFO @ 27:53 in Rome!?!
Brilliant woman. I hope so much that she is right and she finds Cleo. Goodness knows she deserves to! I remember seeing an early program on tv about her dig when she first began and she was clearly being treated as a silly amateur, laughed at - ha! no-one is laughing now tht she has proved herself and her sixth sense about what she is searching for. It reminds me of Schliemann, who found Troy despite the mockery that was levelled at his conviction that he could do so. Go for it, Kathleen.
I hate hawass and his ego. Always got to gave his face in it.
Glad she is succeeding.
This was fascinating, wanted to see more. My only confusion was, if people supposedly checked out that area before Kathleen, how come they didn't find anything ? What were they doing the whole time, having cigarette and tea breaks ??
9:46 It doesn't say Basilisias (however she pronounced it meaning queen...) but VASILEOS (ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ)which means KING in Greek. Thus refering to her self, as Byzantine empresses later, in the masculine.
A stunning Archaeologist uncovering stunning artefacts...
Great work ! Thank you!
See all the fancy training and all you really need is passion, determination, patients and logic.
