For over two thousand years, the tomb of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony has been one of antiquity's most persistent ghosts. While history books fixate on their final moments in Alexandria, the physical reality of their burial remains a mystery that has haunted archaeologists since the Roman annexation. In this episode, we explore the controversial theory that their resting place lies not on land, but beneath the shifting sands and silt of Abu Qir Bay. We examine the archaeological evidence gathered by Franck Goddio and his team from Institut Européen d'Archéologie Sous-Marine, who have mapped submerged temples and statues in the area once known as Canopus. We also look at the historical context provided by Plutarch and Cassius Dio regarding the 'monumentum' built for the couple, and how modern sonar technology is beginning to reveal the layout of Ptolemaic Alexandria’s necropolis. This conversation bridges ancient literary accounts with cutting-edge marine archaeology, asking whether the last Pharaohs are truly lost or simply waiting to be found beneath the Mediterranean waves. #Cleopatra #MarkAntony #Alexandria #AbuQirBay #FranckGoddio #IEASM #PtolemaicDynasty #RomanEgypt #UnderwaterArchaeology #Canopus #Plutarch #CassiusDio #NectaneboII #Herodotus #Sarcophagus #MediterraneanSea #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
