The Temple of Taposiris Magna


The temple is currently being investigated to locate the mummies of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. I find it hard to believe that they would be found buried together and even if they were it would politically been more advantageous to cremate Mark Antony.

Cleopatra on the other hand may have been more advantageous to display in Rome temporarily!
