Cleopatra, whose full name is Cleopatra VII Philopator (69 BC - 30 BC), Macedonian, was a Queen of ancient Egypt. She was the last member of the Ptolemy (a Greek dynasty that ruled Egypt and the surrounding areas from 305 BC to 30 BC).

Cleopatra was famous for her "remarkable beauty" especially for her secret to seducing men. Recently, the myths of Cleopatra’s appearance are believed to have been misleading by historical accounts of her famous charm to Julius Caesar and Mark Antony - both Roman rulers. force. Queen Cleopatra was once described as speaking 9 languages and extremely intelligent. She also has in mind an extremely large amount of knowledge, from astronomy, geography to history, was empowered and showed leadership very early.

However, intelligence and talent are not enough to seduce two mighty men, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Cleopatra’s strength is her beauty and technique to seduce her super man.

After the as‌sociation of Antiquities at Newcastle upon Tyne found a small queen’s coin, Professor Kevin Butcher claimed Cleopatra practically looked "casual, even sly."

Cleopatra’s tomb hasn’t been found in the 2,000 years since her death, but that could change soon, as is the opinion of the queen’s appearance.

Dr. Kathleen Martinez has spent her life searching for the queen’s final resting place, and she believes the tomb is located 30 miles outside of Alexandria, the site of the ancient temple of Taposiris Magna.

This theory came to be popularized after the veteran Egyptologist Dr. Hawass publicly supported, adding that archaeologists working on the site may have been close to discovering the tomb.

A cemetery was discovered in the Greco-Roman-style mummified area, prompting speculation that a burial site was of high importance for the nearby Greek kingdom of Ptolemaic.

"This may be the most important discovery of the 21st century," said Dr. Hawass, "which is the perfect place to hide secrets," said Dr. Hawass.

Traditionally, archaeologists often look for evidence near the center of Alexandria, where Cleopatra was born and ruled.

Many believe that all that remains of the great ruler could have been destroyed by a powerful earthquake in 365AD - causing a tsunami that devastated the ancient town. 

Archaeologists from Egypt and the Dominican Republic began excavating the temple in 2002 and discovered 27 tombs and 10 mummies during their continuous search.

During these excavations, they also uncovered 200 royal coins depicting the face of the queen and the remains of two high-ranking Egyptians.

And Dr. Hawass "is adamant that the findings at Taposiris Magna confirm the myth" of Queen Cleopatra’s beauty.

He added in 2009: "What have some scholars said about Cleopatra so ugly? 

"The findings from Taposiris reflect a charm and show that Cleopatra is no less attractive."

But Egyptologist Dr. Chris Naunton did not have much hope for the possibility of finding Cleopatra at this site.
