Egypt's top archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, believes that he has discovered the long-lost tomb of Antony and Cleopatra, two legendary rulers of antiquity, buried inside a 2,000-year-old Egyptian temple called the Taposiris Magna. The partially excavated temple is located near the Mediterranean Sea, about 30 miles from Egypt's ancient seaside capital of Alexandria. Cleopatra is known to have resided there. General Antony was a ruler of Rome, and Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt. Their deaths in 30 BCE (Before the Common Era) followed the defeat of their united armies during a clash involving Caesar Augustus, who had challenged the two rulers for complete control of the Roman Empire. According to Greek writer and historian Plutarch, Caesar permitted the pair to be entombed together.

So did Caesar have Antony and Cleopatra buried in the Egyptian temple, as Hawass believes? Hawass concedes that archaeologists are not "100 percent" certain that Antony and Cleopatra are entombed there. However, he says that excavation work has unearthed a great deal of evidence supporting his theory. Inside the temple, archaeologists have thus far discovered 22 coins bearing Cleopatra's name and face. They have also found various carvings that appear to be representations of the famous pair. In addition, a fragment of a mask with a cleft chin has been found.

"If you look at the face of Mark Antony, many believed he had this cleft on his chin," said Hawass. "That's why I thought this could be Mark Antony."

The deaths of Cleopatra and Mark Antony has long been one of history’s greatest mysteries.
