Egypt,

a land of ancient treasures
and hidden secrets.

Of all it's kings and queens,
one is still cloaked in mystery -

Cleopatra.

Lover of Julius Caesar and Mark
Antony

and, at one time, the most powerful
woman in the world.

But evidence of Egypt's last queen
has all but vanished from history.

Now, that's about to change.

A maverick archaeologist has
discovered a long lost temple

that played a crucial
role in her reign.

Are you ready to
risk your life for Cleopatra?

She's unearthed stunning artefacts...

Don't tell me where the snakes are!

..mysterious underground tunnels...

..and even a vast city of the dead.

It's a wonderful necropolis.

Look at that! They're fabulous.

Finds that are helping to
transform our understanding
of this enigmatic queen.

She was a mother, she was a wife,
she was a queen, she was a goddess.

Even more exciting, she's discovered
hidden subterranean chambers.

I can confirm to you something,
that somebody's hiding something.

And in the biggest breakthrough
in the search for Cleopatra,

she may even have found the final
resting place of Egypt's last queen.

It's a huge opening
cut into the bedrock.

When you do see them, they are the
shafts that lead to tombs.

You are a goddess, Cleopatra.

Everything is permitted to a
goddess.

2,000 years after her death,

the legendary Queen of Egypt
still fascinates us.

Cleopatra's a pivotal
figure in Egyptian history.

She comes from a background
of the most turbulent,

dramatic, soap operatic
royal family there's ever been.

Suns go down and may return, but
once put out our own brief light...

The Cleopatra we think we know
is the Hollywood version.

An intruder! A man!

And arch seductress,
memorably portrayed by Liz Taylor,

seen here seducing
the mighty Julius Caesar.

I summoned to you yesterday to
an audience in my throne room.

I was told
I was not permitted to go there.

But after her alliance with
the Roman Empire went sour,

she famously committed suicide.

But the real Cleopatra remains
tantalisingly out of reach.

Inevitably, you end up with more
myth than history.

Today, barely any
traces of Cleopatra survive

and the greatest mystery of all
is still unsolved...

..where she's buried.

The truth is,
we don't exactly know what happened,

either around the time of her death,

or what happened
to her body afterwards.

But now there's a new
twist in the story of Cleopatra

and it comes from
a surprising source.

Kathleen Martinez is a criminal
lawyer from the Dominican Republic.

But for the last 20 years,

she's used her courtroom experience
to turn Cleopatra detective.

I don't think 100%
as an archaeologist

because my first training
is as a criminal lawyer,

so I took Cleopatra as a case.

Kathleen has had a lifelong
fascination with Egypt's last queen.

She believes that there's more
to Cleopatra's life,

and what happened after her death,
than the legend lets on.

Her obsession took to
Alexandria in northern Egypt.

It was believed to be the site
of Cleopatra's ancient capital...

..but that city sank beneath the
waves more than 1,000 years ago.

Archaeologists have found
her palace here

and many believe her tomb
must lie here, too.

But Kathleen has a radical new
theory

about where the queen
was laid to rest.

In 31 BC, the Roman Navy defeated
Cleopatra and her lover, Mark Antony,

at the Battle of Actium.

Fleeing to Egypt,
they both committed suicide.

Kathleen believes that
Cleopatra's suicide was

part of a premeditated plan,

designed to prevent her body
falling into the hands of
the vengeful Romans.

When I study carefully
the last days of Cleopatra,

I realised it was the
beginning of a religious act...

..that might end up with her being
buried in a temple

and her lost tomb
could be found there.

Kathleen believes that Cleopatra was
a strategist, who devised a plan

for her body to be buried
in secret, far from Roman eyes,

beneath a sacred temple.

After studying ancient texts,

she investigated 21
possible burial sites...

..but only one of them
jumped out at her -

Taposiris Magna.

A ruined temple complex
40km west of Alexandria.

Kathleen suspected that this
pile of ancient rubble dated back

to the time of Cleopatra's
family, the Ptolemys,

but no-one had been able to prove it.

This is not a site that
would have piqued the interest

of the archaeological
community particularly.

Any connection between the site
Cleopatra, this was news to me.

Over the last century, several
archaeological teams have dug here

and found little of interest.

But could Kathleen's hunch be right?

Could this be the
site of the lost tomb?

My first reaction when I entered
the temple was to laugh

because I knew
I was in the right place.

Unusually, the walls enclosing
the site bear no inscriptions...

..nothing to link it to any specific
time or dynasty in Egyptian history.

The most accepted idea about this
temple, it was never finished.

All the scholars believe it never
functioned as a temple

and I believe they were wrong.

Experts have written off Taposiris
Magna as unfinished and unimportant.

Kathleen was determined to prove that
it was more

than just an ancient building site.

Nobody ever came to this site with
a clear idea of what

they were searching for.

Most archaeologists were dismissive
of the theories

of this self-trained novice.

I think Kathleen's ideas
come across as very

sensationalist in the absence
of anything really scientific.

There was a lot of scepticism
about her work.

It's as though she'd ghosted in
from nowhere.

But the sheer scale of the site,
and its proximity to Cleopatra's

ancient capital, convinced Kathleen
she was on the right track.

If she could find the tomb of
Cleopatra, there's no telling

what secrets would be revealed of the
Queen's life and eventual death.

What people know about Cleopatra is
what we have seen in the movies.

She was a musician, she studied
medicine, she wrote about law.

There's so many qualities

and she did so much in a time
when women were so restricted.

While Roman poets dismissed Cleopatra
as a manipulative temptress,

medieval Arab writers paint
her in a very different light,

as a philosopher, scientist
and astute political leader.

It's a view that's gained ground
amongst scholars in recent years

and Kathleen is not the only
one on Cleopatra's tail.

Historian Dorothy Thompson has
unearthed fresh insights

about her reign from a handful of
surviving ancient documents.

My interest is in the queen
actually in Egypt...

..not the queen who's constructed
for us by others,

not the mirage of the queen

but the queen we can tell from
the texts.

In the Berlin Museum, fragile
scraps of 2,000-year-old papyri give

a glimpse of the political control
Cleopatra wielded during her reign.

This dates from 50 BC,
it's from within a year

and a half of her
coming to the throne,

and it says at the top, "The queen,
Basileses", that's Cleopatra...

..made this royal order.
"Prostac santone."

Cleopatra is concerned that the
people of the capital city

should have enough to eat.

Cleopatra made the proclamation

when Egypt was under severe
threat of famine,

well aware that hunger could lead
to dangerous unrest.

She's making a decree,

saying that no-one who purchases
corn may

take it either to the north
or to the south.

Everybody must bring it to the
capital city.

And anyone who disobeys this...

..is to be punished by death.

This is Cleopatra far removed
from the Hollywood glitz and glamour.

This is a real politician,
somebody who is aware of problems

and prepared to do
something about them.

This isn't Cleopatra the seductress.

This is Cleopatra the working queen.

Before Kathleen Martinez could start
her investigation at Taposiris Magna,

she had to apply to the Egyptian
authorities for permission to dig.

She put her theory about Cleopatra's
tomb to the

Minister of Antiquities himself.

What made me to decide actually
the excavation,

because she is a very
stubborn woman.

She's sure that the tomb is there.

Kathleen was given just two months to
prove she was on to something.

She mounted a site survey
and started her dig.

Eight weeks later,
with the permit about to expire,

her team had drawn a blank.

Everybody here at the site was
disappointed we didn't find
anything.

We didn't even find pottery or
nothing.

On the final day of the dig, in a
last desperate throw of the dice,

Kathleen spread her team
out across the whole site.

Not far from the north gate,

she stumbled on a mysterious
depression in the ground.

We start cleaning and then,
suddenly, a small hole opened

and we start removing the sand,
and we found it was a shaft.

Kathleen had unearthed a hidden
shaft leading deep underground.

It has holes to go down,
like in ancient times.

They'd never used a ladder.

And we also studied the shape
of this chamber because it's unique.

The shaft descended five
metres underground

to two hidden chambers.

But what could they be for?

You can see traces of colour.
It was painted.

It was an astonishing find.

A subterranean level that previous
digs by professionals had overlooked.

It's possible the chambers were
used for priestly rituals.

But whatever their purpose,

the find persuaded the authorities to
extend Kathleen's permit.

It was the happiest day of my life.

Because of this shaft, we continue
our search for Cleopatra.

Kathleen had proved there was much
more to Taposiris Magna

than meets the eye.

But could it also conceal the long
lost tomb of Cleopatra?

The final days and untimely death
of Cleopatra, last Queen of Egypt,

are shrouded in mystery.

We don't have a clear
account of what happened

when Cleopatra died because nobody
at the time wrote it down.

After losing a decisive sea battle
against Rome,

the rebel general Mark Antony
took his own life, and his lover,

Cleopatra, prepared to follow him.

In the classic telling of the story,

she then committed suicide by

clasping a poisonous snake, an
asp, to her bosom.

But what happened next is a mystery.

We simply don't know what happened
to Cleopatra's body.

The events around her death are
quite confused and conflicting and

they don't really give us any clear
pointers as to where she was buried.

Kathleen Martinez believes she knows.

She thinks the lost tomb lies
somewhere

in the sprawling ruins of Taposiris
Magna.

I think if Kathleen Martinez were to
find

the tomb of Cleopatra intact,

it would be a discovery on a par

with Howard Carter's discovery
of the tomb of Tutankhamen.

During her second season on-site,
Kathleen turned

her attention to traces of a building
discovered by a previous dig.

It was thought to be a temple
dedicated

to Osiris, god of the dead.

But nobody knows who built it.

There's very little
left of the structure itself,

but, digging down,
Kathleen made a major breakthrough.

She discovered a set of extremely
rare and fragile tablets.

This is the magical moment.

I have to be very careful.

They are made of clay and
semiprecious stones

like lapis lazuli and turquoise
and glass.

These rare artefacts are examples
of foundation deposits.

It's incredibly important,

if you can, to find that foundation
deposit because that's what

gives you your information about
when the temple was first built.

The inscriptions were faint,
but legible.

We can see the inscriptions
are not clear.

They are written in Greek,

and it refers to Vasilias
Ptolemaios,

which means King Ptolemy.

The tablets mark the temple's
inauguration.

Kathleen believes
they were laid around 2,200 years ago

by Ptolemy IV, Cleopatra's great,
great, great grandfather.

Kathleen's find
stunned the world of archaeology.

She had proved a direct
link between the temple site

and Cleopatra's family line.

It strengthened her conviction that

Cleopatra herself would have
worshipped here.

We were already proving
with archaeological evidence that

everything that was
written about this temple was wrong.

But dating the Osiris temple
was just the start.

A few weeks later, extending her
excavation north,

Kathleen made another major find.

I continued in this direction
and I found this block.

We continued cleaning,
and we found the remains of a wall,

and then we opened to the north

and we found the sides
of the building and it had a door.

It was a second temple,
and one which appears to bear

the hallmarks of the cult
of the goddess Isis.

Isis temples can have three
separate rooms,

with one acting as the inner
sanctuary.

It's a perfect match,

which suggests another tantalising
link to Cleopatra.

To ancient Egyptians, Isis was
the supreme female deity.

Isis was a really important
goddess to the Egyptians.

She seemed to really resonate
with ordinary people.

And Cleopatra portrayed herself as
the personification of Isis on Earth.

So for Cleopatra to ally
herself with this goddess,

to the point of declaring herself to
be the living Isis, was a really

important matter, and I think it was
something she took really seriously.

To present herself as Isis is
clearly a very canny move.

It's an obvious thing for somebody

who wishes to be accepted by her
people.

Where else would the living Isis
choose to be buried

than beneath an Isis Temple?

Digging within the temple walls,

Kathleen unearthed what looked like a
holy shrine,

and hit the jackpot.

We cleaned it inside, and inside the
shrine it has around 200 coins,

some of them
were in very good condition,

and we could see immediately it
has Cleopatra's face.

You cannot imagine the happiness
when I discovered

inside the sanctuary of Isis
the face of Cleopatra in a coin.

It was beautiful Cleopatra.

At last, Kathleen was face-to-face
with her heroine.

The coins suggested the temple
was still in active use

at the time of Cleopatra's reign.

We believe the coins were there
as an offering to the goddess Isis.

Bronze coins from Cleopatra's reign
reveal a canny ruler,

keenly aware of the importance
of her brand management.

Cleopatra's ancestors had only
put their faces

on high value silver coins
used by the rich.

But Cleopatra wanted her face seen
and adored by all her subjects.

What Cleopatra did that was new was
introduce her own portrait

onto this bronze, low value coinage.

And that's an important step

because it made sure her image

reached a much broader public.

Anybody conducting a day-to-day
transaction with

a coin like this would be confronted
with Cleopatra's image.

Cleopatra wanted to remind her whole
country, rich and poor,

who was in charge.

And it wasn't just her own people
she needed to keep in check,

she was also a player
on the international stage.

At the Berlin Museum,

historian Dr Dorothy Thompson has
studied a second ancient text,

which reveals Cleopatra trying
to gain allies in Rome.

It's an agreement
by the Queen that a Roman,

and this is the real
interest of the text,

that a Roman is being given very
significant tax concessions.

Right down at the bottom of the text
is the one word, "Ginesthoi."

In English that means, "So be it."
"Let it happen."

Cleopatra's seal of approval for the
decree that's recorded above.

The instruction is written
differently to the rest of the

document, prompting speculation as to
who might have written it.

The exciting question is

is this Cleopatra's own hand that's
used here?

It would be nice, wouldn't it?
If she'd written that.

But we can't really be sure.

In the fourth year of Kathleen's
dig, and spurred on by the discovery

of the Isis Temple, she continued
the search for Cleopatra's lost tomb.

Poking around outside
the temple enclosure,

she spotted some strange
indentations in the ground.

When we saw the first steps
going down we knew it was a shaft.

Kathleen had uncovered a shaft
leading 25 metres underground.

Who would like to
go inside the shaft with me?

Are you ready to
risk your life for Cleopatra?

SHE LAUGHS

After clearing many
tonnes of rubble from the shaft,

Kathleen prepares to venture
underground.

Put your hands on the rope.
OK, fine.

OK.

At the bottom she finds two
secret passageways.

Her hope - that one might lead
to a hidden tomb.

The tunnels had been expertly
chiselled out of the bedrock -

clearly a monumental task.

Can I have the light here?

It has the steps going down.

Along the passageway
she finds more vertical shafts

leading down from the surface.

So please do it carefully.

But there's no sign of a tomb.

But, amid the debris,
she stumbles on more clues.

HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

The stone bed.

After 60 metres the passageway
narrows and the team hits a dead end.

Bye!

We found marble that belongs
probably to the Isis chapel.

And the pottery will help us to date

exactly when the tunnels were dug.

Even more exciting, Kathleen has also
recovered some human remains.

We found... Bits of skull.

..the skulls of skeletons.

But who they were and what they were
doing here is a mystery.

Skeletons.

Kathleen's excavation has
so far revealed passageways

and shafts beneath Taposiris Magna
stretching for 300 metres.

It all helps to
reinforce her original hunch

That Cleopatra's tomb could be
hidden somewhere underground.

Over the course of Cleopatra's
22-year reign, Egypt and Rome were
enemies.

But, also, bedfellows.

In 48 BC, just three years
after Cleopatra came to the throne,

Julius Caesar conquered Egypt.

He and the 20-year-old queen
became lovers.

The young Cleopatra would go on to
prove herself a clever

and talented politician...

..able to forge strong political
alliances, even with her enemies.

When we think about the relationship
between Julius Caesar

and Cleopatra, on the one hand
we talk about seduction,

on the other hand we talk about
political manoeuvring.

We can actually have both.

Rome is the biggest power in
the Mediterranean,

Egypt needs someone like that to
ensure that its power remains.

At the same time,
Julius Caesar wants to have Egypt

in his back pocket,

because it's the bread
basket of the Mediterranean.

The love affair would last four
years, and even produced a son.

Caesar brought Cleopatra to Rome and
showered her with gifts...

..building a temple in her honour.

But the Queen had something to
give in return,

a wealth of scientific knowledge...

..including the secrets of time.

In Caesar's day, the Roman calendar
was based on the phases of the moon.

But the 28-day lunar cycle meant the
months and seasons drifted each year.

You didn't have a fixed
number of days per year,

sometimes the whole system can
get out of whack.

But Cleopatra came from a seat
of great learning and knowledge.

The Egyptian calendar was based on
earth's journey around the sun.

Now, Caesar embraced this idea.

By adopting the practices
of the astronomers under

Cleopatra in Egypt, Julius Caesar
finally had a solar cycle

system based upon the movement
of the sun.

It gave Romans stability,
365 days a year,

and every fourth year,
you have a leap year.

This is the modern calendar cycle.

Julius Caesar brought it to Rome,
the Empire and the world.

In 44 BC Caesar's reign came to
an abrupt end,

with his murder...

..and Cleopatra fled back to Egypt.

Kathleen Martinez thinks the Queen
may have found solace in her temple,

at Taposiris Magna.

By 2014, after almost ten
seasons' digging,

Kathleen had amassed a stunning
collection of artefacts,

all dating from the time of
Cleopatra's royal line.

This is one of my
favourite artefacts,

the bust of this
Ptolemaic queen.

So, this is a liner, to do the
make-up in the eyes.

You can see it's a weight,
they were selling something.

This is the bust of
Alexander the Great.

This is a penis. It belonged to
an Egyptian god of fertility.

The artefacts were building up a
picture of an important temple site.

Then, excavating near the north
door of the temple complex...

..she unearthed something intriguing,

a row of 14 curiously shaped
stone plinths.

What is important about this
is that all of them

has a different geometrical shape,
this is unique.

So far we have uncovered 14 bases,
so maybe, it could be

related to the columns itself,
because they were 14 rulers of
Egypt.

The Ptolemys were Cleopatra's
family line.

Kathleen believes the plinths once
bore statues

of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, creating a
grand avenue to the temple enclosure.

That would make Taposiris Magna
a highly important site,

and a fitting
spot for the tomb of a queen.

And Kathleen's theory that Cleopatra
is buried here

was about to get
another significant boost.

In February 2015, digging in the
rubble behind the plinths,

she stumbled upon something
extraordinary...

a large inscribed
limestone tablet or stele.

In an echo of the world-famous
Rosetta Stone,

the inscription appears in both
hieroglyphic and demotic,

the everyday written language
of ancient Egypt.

Can you believe that this
piece of block has changed

the history of Taposiris Magna?

I already named it Stele Magna.

The stele dates from seven years
into the reign of Ptolemy V.

So, it predates
the Rosetta Stone by two years.

The inscription proved the site was
linked to the goddess Isis,

who Cleopatra claimed to embody
on earth.

The decree by Ptolemy V

is the declaration of Taposiris
Magna as a religious centre

for Isis, for worshipping Isis,
and the land, it was considered

a sacred land and everything around
the temple was used to worship Isis.

This is an important text. It shows
us that this is a temple

which is very much part of the royal
institution at that time.

Very much an important place,
so this is not a temple which is
a backwater.

This is an important spot.

The stele that Kathleen found
rewrites the history books,

revealing Taposiris Magna to be the
most important Ptolemaic

temple site in northern Egypt.

It's so important for the Ptolemys.

It was the most important centre of
adoration of Isis in the north.

The evidence was mounting that
Cleopatra herself could have

been a frequent visitor.

But is she buried here?

Kathleen decided to extend her
search beyond the temple walls.

500 metres east, close to an ancient
monument in the shape of a

lighthouse, she spotted unexplained
sunken areas in the desert floor.

Well, we started excavating here,
close between the lighthouse

and the temple.

And we uncovered the first steps.

At the foot of the steps,
she discovered a set of chambers

cut deep into the bedrock.

They could be only one thing...

tombs.

We need to check these blocks, but
please...

wear your mask and gloves
when you go down.

Kathleen believes that if there are
dead bodies down here,

it could present a biohazard.

THEY CHATTER

Let's see now.

The tombs are the first evidence
of ritual burials here.

All within sight of the
temple complex.

Further excavation revealed
a labyrinth of ancient catacombs.

Some containing skeletons.

Others housing mummies.

We didn't know how big it was

but now we have more
than 800 skeletons.

Kathleen has unearthed a huge
necropolis covering

hundreds of square metres.

An ancient Egyptian city of the dead.

But who exactly is buried here?

For years,

Kathleen endured scepticism
from the archaeological community.

Now the professionals were
keen to see her discoveries.

Well, this looks fantastic.

Doctor Salima Ikram is an expert in
ancient Egyptian burials.

Oh, my God.

Look at that, they're fabulous.

The skulls of some of the mummies
Kathleen unearthed had been

encrusted with gold.

Here you've got all this gilding
on them.

What you do is you coat the face
with this sort of oil,

resin mixture,
sometimes even with beeswax.

And that gives you a very
tacky substance

and then you have these small
squares of gold leaf

which you can just attach
and sometimes they overlap.

The people buried here were
clearly wealthy.

But gold-plating the skulls wasn't
just about decoration.

During the later Ptolemaic
and early Roman period,

we notice that mummification is not
so well done.

So, lots of oils and unguents are
poured over the body.

You have fancy wrapping,
you have glittery, you know,

gold and this and that to
sort of make up for the fact that

you're not quite sure as to what
you're supposed to do.

Everything about the site, including
the poor-quality mummification,

suggests the burials date directly
from the time of Cleopatra.

It's a wonderful necropolis which is
still filled with all

kinds of goodies and bodies to
be found.

Being so close to the temples of Isis

and Osiris would have made it a
highly auspicious burial spot.

It's a holy place, it's a sacred
place, it's a

significant place,
so, people wanted to be buried here.

Anyone who was buried here was
definitely having a straight

shot to eternity.

The importance of the burial site
convinces Kathleen that she's

Closing in on her ultimate goal,
the tomb of Cleopatra herself.

Self-trained archaeologist,

Kathleen Martinez,

believes she's close to the
archaeological find of the century -

the long-lost tomb of Cleopatra.

'I think, if Kathleen found
the tomb of Cleopatra intact,'

she would be elevated
to the status of

the most famous
archaeologist in the world.

Kathleen had already discovered

a series of unexplained
shafts and tunnels

underneath Taposiris Magna

and she's still
convinced that it's here

that she'll find the tomb
of Egypt's last queen.

But is there any evidence

that ancient Egyptians

buried their rulers
beneath temple sites?

In 2014,

archaeologists at the Ramesseum,

an ancient temple complex
in Southern Egypt,

found something intriguing -

a shaft leading underground

containing ritual burial items
from a royal tomb.

This sensational discovery

was of a princess,

Karomama,

who was an extremely
high-ranking priestess.

Karomama's tomb predates
Cleopatra's reign by 900 years.

But did Cleopatra revive
an ancient royal tradition -

to be buried beneath
Taposiris Magna?

It's very possible Cleopatra
could have been buried

in a similar shaft
underneath a temple.

There are actually quite a lot
of examples of high status,

royal even, individuals -

royal women, in particular -

being buried in shaft tombs

within temple complexes.

I will go down.

Close by the west gate,

Kathleen discovered a chamber

not far beneath the surface.

Inside it, the remains of a woman.

We found the skeleton of this woman

who was carrying a baby.

Analysis of the bones
reveals the pregnant woman

is too young to be Cleopatra.

This woman is still a puzzle for us

because we won't know
what happened to her.

The skeleton is a breakthrough.

It's the first indication
that burials

did take place inside the temple.

And Kathleen's hunt was about
to take a thrilling turn.

In the northwest corner of the site,

the team unearthed some steps.

They led down to a wide opening
cut out of the bedrock.

We're still cleaning around

but it's ten metres by ten metres,

by nine metres.

It was very deep

and it was a big cut.

Like the tombs of the
Valley of the Kings.

So we thought...

We were thrilled. "This is it."

Digging down to its base, they find a
narrow shaft going deep underground.

We start cleaning the shaft.

At the depth of 23 metres,

we found two skeletons...

..and that make us
feel more excited.

Kathleen dug down 35 metres

and found nothing...

..but according to
Egyptologist, Chris Naunton,

a deep, wide opening like this

with a shaft at its base

usually means one thing.

The most striking feature
is just its massive size.

It's a huge opening

cut into the bedrock.

You don't see those very often.

When you do see them,

they are the shafts
that lead to tombs.

It's a huge breakthrough.

But with this year's
digging season nearly over,

Kathleen is running out of time.

She brings in
ground-penetrating radar

to probe the ground around the shaft.

Her aim -

to see if there are any chambers

hidden behind its walls.

We're trying to use
Geophysical lessons

to help the people
who work in archaeology

to find where is
the mummy of Cleopatra.

The results are exciting.

They show two possible cavities.

The chip here reveals
important cavities.

Big enough to be the final
resting place of a Pharaoh.

I can confirm to you something.

That somebody is hiding something.

What is it? We don't know.

Maybe it's the mummy
of Cleopatra, maybe.

Kathleen's time at Taposiris
Magna is up for the year.

Further investigation of
the shaft will have to wait.

But her hunch that there is more to
the site than the experts suspected

has been vindicated.

She's proved the Taposiris Magna

was a temple complex of huge
significance in Cleopatra's day

and found compelling evidence

there could be a burial chamber
concealed deep underground.

I think Kathleen has taken us closer

to finding the tomb of Cleopatra

than we've ever been before.

An archaeologist
in Egypt claimed today

to be on the verge of finding

the burial place of Cleopatra.

And now the whole world
is taking notice of her quest.

He displayed artefacts found in
an ancient temple near Alexandria.

It's the beginning of a journey

that will end

with a big discovery.

So far, they've uncovered a variety

of likenesses of Cleopatra.

I will never stop until
I find the tomb of Cleopatra.

I feel, in my heart,

the tomb of Cleopatra

is under my feet
at Taposiris Magna.
