Is Cleopatra's tomb at the bottom of the sea?

She is considered one of the most powerful and seductive queens in history, and now scientists are closer than ever to discovering Cleopatra's lost tomb and believe it may be under the sea.

During underwater research off the coast of Alexandria, a sunken port was discovered at a depth of about 12 meters, three kilometers from the mainland.

Experts believe that this site could hide the tomb of Cleopatra and her lover, Mark Antony, given its connection to the ancient city of Taposiris Magna, where a temple dedicated to the god Osiris was located.

Researcher Kathleen Martinez, who has been searching for Cleopatra's tomb for nearly 20 years, found this port with the help of famous underwater explorer Bob Ballard, reveals the Daily Mail.

Unearthed remains such as columns, stone floors and amphorae indicate a strong human presence, and Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities believes this could be evidence of ancient maritime activity.

Martinez, who has been investigating the site since 2005, is convinced that the tomb is located in or near Taposiris Magna. In 2022, she also discovered a 1,300-meter-long underground tunnel beneath the ruins, which leads to the harbor and suggests the existence of a secret passage, perhaps used to transfer Cleopatra's body.

According to her, Cleopatra wanted her tomb to remain hidden, away from the eyes of the Romans, in a place where she would be forever with Mark Antony.

More than two millennia later, her plan still seems to be working, the tomb has not yet been found, but the search is approaching a crucial moment.
