Finding Cleopatra's Tomb

For more than 2,000 years, the final resting place of one of history’s most famous queens has remained a mystery. In this episode, we explore the search for the lost tomb of Cleopatra VII—the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty and one of the most powerful women of the ancient world.
After her dramatic defeat alongside Mark Antony by Octavian in 30 B.C., Ancient historians claimed that Cleopatra and Antony were buried together in a magnificent tomb—but its location was never clearly recorded.
Was the tomb hidden beneath the ruins of Alexandria, lost to earthquakes and rising seas? Could it lie beneath the temple complex of Taposiris Magna, where archaeologists have uncovered clues? Or is the queen’s burial chamber still waiting to be discovered somewhere beneath centuries of sand and history?
Join us in the lounge as we follow the modern-day treasure hunt for Cleopatra’s tomb, examine the historical records, and uncover the theories that continue to fascinate archaeologists and historians alike. The mystery of where one of history’s most legendary rulers was laid to rest may be closer to being solved than ever before. Or it may remain one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world. 🏺🔎
