Two mummies decorated in gold found in Taposiri Magna
Kathleen Martinez, the Dominican archeologist who is on the search of the remains of Cleopatra in Egypt, announced the discovery of two mummies covered in gold ornaments at the Taposiri Magna cemetery in Egypt. Martinez has defended the theory that Cleopatra might be buried in a crumbling temple near the coastal desert town of Taposiris Magna (present-day Abu Sir), 28 miles west of Alexandria. Martinez argues that Cleopatra sought for Mark Antony and herself to be secretly buried where no one would disturb their eternal life together.
