The main temple at the ancient city of Taposiris Magna has been suggested as the possible resting place of Cleopatra VII.
Archaeologists have uncovered a 'remarkable' collection of artifacts at the ruins of an ancient Egyptian temple.An Egyptian-Dominican research mission made the finds in the ancient city of Taposiris Magna, located west of present-day Alexandria by the Mediterranean coast, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced.The finds—which include sculptures, ceramics and coins—provide new insights into the history of the late Ptolemaic era, according to the ministry.
But Mohamed Ismail Khaled, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said other scholars have disputed this claim, noting that the facial features differ from other known depictions of the ruler.It is possible that the statue represents another royal woman.
