Alexandria, Egypt - After 15 years of studying Cleopatra, Dominican archaeologist Kathleen Martinez believes she may have found the final resting place of the famous Egyptian queen. The site is not where archaeologists previously thought the queen, who is said to have killed herself with poisonous snakes, was buried.
Martinez believes that, instead of the royal burial site in Alexandria that is now sunken under the Mediterranean Sea, Cleopatra and her Roman lover, Mark Antony, were buried on a hill surrounded by water west of Alexandria.
"I thought they were searching in the wrong place, and with the political circumstances she needed a place to be protected in her afterlife," Martinez told the German Press Agency
