Cleopatra's Death: Murder, Suicide, or Political Assassination? | HD Full Documentary

Описание: She was found dead in a sealed chamber. No wounds. No blood. No snake ever recovered. The Roman guards outside heard nothing. For two thousand years, history accepted the serpent's bite. But the evidence tells a far stranger story.

On August 12, 30 BCE, Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Egypt, was discovered lifeless on a golden couch in full royal regalia. Her handmaidens Iras and Charmion lay dead beside her. Octavian's soldiers had been posted at every exit. A farmer had delivered figs hours earlier. Within days, the official narrative was set. A sacred asp hidden in the basket. A queen choosing divine death over Roman chains.

Modern toxicologists have destroyed this account. Cobra venom kills over hours through convulsions, paralysis, and agony. Witnesses described Cleopatra's body as peaceful and most beautiful. The science does not match the story.

This documentary follows Cleopatra from her birth into a dynasty where siblings murdered siblings for power, through her legendary alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, to her final eleven days as Octavian's prisoner. We examine who controlled access to her chamber. We trace the witnesses who died and the testimony that vanished. We weigh three theories that historians still debate.

Suicide by serpent. Death by self-administered poison. Or assassination ordered by the man who needed her dead but required clean hands.
The answer may still wait beneath modern Alexandria. Cleopatra's tomb has never been found.

Watch until the end to understand why this mystery has outlasted the Roman Empire itself.
