    [ *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.

    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.

    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 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.

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 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.

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.

      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?
