Cleopatra's Tomb And The Desert That Hides It | History For Sleep

Описание: She was the last pharaoh of Egypt, the lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, a woman whose beauty and intelligence changed the course of history. When she died, she was buried in a tomb so magnificent that ancient writers compared it to the wonders of the world. And then it vanished. For two thousand years, Cleopatra's tomb has remained hidden somewhere beneath the sands of Egypt, one of the greatest archaeological prizes never found.
Tonight we follow Cleopatra's extraordinary life - from teenage queen fighting for her throne, to her legendary romances with the two most powerful men in Rome, to her chosen death by asp rather than face humiliation in a Roman triumph. We explore the magnificent Alexandria she ruled, now lost beneath the modern city and the Mediterranean Sea. We examine what treasures her tomb might contain - gold and emeralds and pearls, perhaps rivaling Tutankhamun's. And we ask why, despite two millennia of searching, no one has ever found the last resting place of the last pharaoh.
