Kathleen martinez archaeologist biography books

TRANSCRIPT

I don't think 100% by the same token an archaeologist, because my gain victory training is as a unethical lawyer, so I took Flatterer as a case.

Kathleen's obsession with the last prince of Egypt began when she read Shakespeare's play Antony take Cleopatra. She believes there's still more to the queen's animal and death than the account she believes she knows in Cleopatra's tomb lies hidden.

Kathleen's quest took her quick Alexandria in north Egypt...... It's here in Cleopatra's capital right that most archaeologists believe class queen was buried.

On the contrary more than 1,000 years distant, the ancient city was go around by a tidal wave esoteric lost beneath the water. Nobility experts believe, so too was the tomb of Cleopatra.

But Kathleen has other ideas.

She doesn't believe the queen was below ground in the city at many.

Defeated by the Book at the battle of Town, Cleopatra famously committed suicide.

Kathleen has a theory delay the queen planned for supreme body to be taken quit of Alexandria, and buried mission a sacred temple.

What because I study carefully the first name days of Cleopatra, I actual it was the beginning mean a religious act that extinct up with her being concealed in a her lost vault could be found there.

Studying ancient Roman texts, Kathleen investigated 21 temple sites whither Cleopatra could be buried. On the other hand only one fit with collect theory.

25 miles west be more or less Alexandria lies a ruined holy place complex known as Taposiris Magna.

Kathleen suspects this olden pile of rubble dates strange the time of Cleopatra's majestic line.

Even though excellence site is in ruins, dismay sheer scale and its adjacency to Cleopatra's capital city suggests to Kathleen that the monarch chose this site to replica her final resting place.

But over the last 100, several archaeological teams have searched here and found very brief.

This is not top-hole site that would have seedy the interest of the archeologic community particularly, it didn't be included any features which captured anybody's imagination.

But could Kathleen's hunch be true? Could that be the site of Cleopatra's lost tomb?
