Dig ‘may reveal’ Cleopatra’s tomb

Cool news from Egypt:

Archaeologists are to search three sites in Egypt that they say may contain the tomb of doomed lovers Anthony and Cleopatra.

Excavation at the sites, which are near a temple west of the coastal city of Alexandria, is due to begin next week.

Teams working in the area said the recent discovery of tombs containing 10 mummies suggested that Anthony and Cleopatra might be buried close by.

I find this absolutely fascinating. The story of Anthony and Cleopatra is a tale of doomed love that puts Romeo and Juliet to shame.
