About this episode

This episode explores the mystery of Cleopatra's lost tomb and the ongoing search for it by archaeologists.

In 30 BCE, Cleopatra VII died on her own terms rather than face humiliation in Rome, and was buried beside her lover Mark Antony in a tomb described as surpassingly beautiful. Two thousand years later, that tomb has never been found... and rival archaeologists are still hunting for it in two very different places. This episode examines the real evidence behind Cleopatra's death, the underwater ruins of ancient Alexandria, and the controversial excavation at the Temple of Osiris thirty miles away.
