Where was Cleopatra buried? In this National Geographic documentary special, lawyer-turned-archaeologist Kathleen Martinez searches for Cleopatra’s lost tomb. After over 20 years of searching, her exc
“What makes this so fascinating is that after more than 2,000 years, archaeology can still completely change what we think we know about Cleopatra. The connection between Taposiris Magna, the temple of Isis and the submerged structures offshore makes you wonder how much of the story is still waiting to be discovered.”
Kathleen you are one of the reasons to why little girls all over the world is growing up and having the choice to become what ever they want to be -you are such a great role model not only for girls and women but for anyone who has a dream and who NEVER gives up on it! Can’t wait for you to find her✨
I really hope she can find where Cleopatra was laid to rest. I would love to see this happen for Kathleen, before I too am laid to rest. Congratulations to Kathleen and all who had a hand in these amazing discoveries! Wish you all the best, and stay safe!
Some of the greatest archaeological discoveries have been made by individuals who "think outside the box" & who have been ridiculed by others in the field. Ms. Martinez has ignored these cruel and hurtful articles, editorials & comments because she has done extensive reach & believes in herselt. Kudos to her.
Cleopatra didn’t want the Romans to have her life or her body after death-it makes sense the tunnel would stretch out to what was the coastline (before the tsunami). Still patiently waiting to see where it leads or what could be left. ❤
To think that she barely got accepted in Egypt and becoming one of the best archaeologists they have had. The determination and thinking outside the box is taking her to the greatest discoveries. ❤ it was her destiny
