Flamboyant archaeologist believes he has identified Cleopatra's tomb

|

Last week, to coincide with the opening of the new Indiana Jones movie, a story was released about a 60 year old archaeologist who is known worldwide for his trademark Indiana Jones hat. Zahi Hawass, the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, believes he has found the tomb of Cleopatra and hopes that MarK Antony may be buried at her side. They have discovered a bust of Mark Antony and tunnels filled with statues and coins depicting Cleopatra. Wouldn't it be cool to find these famous lovers?

As we finished up the first year of History of the World last month, we read the stories of Caesar and Mark Antony and Cleopatra. It is so exciting to read that more may be known about them soon. Unfortunately, excavations had to stop until next November due to the heat. I can't wait to see what they will find!
