Alexandria, Egypt– For centuries, the exact location of Cleopatra’s tomb, the last queen of ancient Egypt and one of the most fascinating figures in history, has been a mystery that has intrigued archaeologists, historians and dreamers around the world. Today, a new revelation could change the course of history forever.
The Dominican archaeologistDra. Kathleen Martínez, who has dedicated more than a decade of his life to the search for Cleopatra’s final resting place, has made a finding that is shaking the academic world and the general public. An underground tunnel, recently discovered near the old city of Taposiris Magna, west of Alexandria, could lead directly to the legendary tomb of the queen.
A 1,300 meters tunnel: Way to the Queen?
The tunnel, more than1,300 meters in lengthAnd at a depth of 13 meters underground, it has revealed surprising artifacts, including old coins, statues, ritual vessels and even acarved bust that is believed represents Cleopatra. According to the first analyzes, the style and inscriptions of the objects found point to the Ptolemaic era, strengthening the theory that this place was of great importance during the reign of the queen.
“This could be the most important archaeological discovery of the century,” said Dr. Martínez in a recent interview. “All indications suggest that we are closer than ever of Cleopatra’s tomb.”
A passion that challenges time
Martínez has been a controversial but persevering figure within the academic world. His theory, which argues that Cleopatra was not buried in the city of Alexandria – as he believed – but in a temple consecrated to Osiris, has been for years considered marginal. However, its excavations in Taposiris Magna have produced results impossible to ignore.
Throughout their investigations, they have been foundGreco -Roman tombs, hidden sanctuaries and secret passages that, combined, seem to form a large -scale funeral complex. And now, with the finding of this tunnel perfectly carved in the rock, the puzzle seems to finally be taking shape.
Why would Cleopatra hide here?
Cleopatra VII was not a common queen. He cultivated his image as a living goddess, associating directly with ISIS, one of the most powerful deities of the Egyptian pantheon. Taposiris Magna, whose translation is “great tomb of Osiris”, would have been the perfect symbolic place for the queen to sealed her spiritual legacy.
“If Cleopatra wanted to be remembered as an incarnation of ISIS, there is no better place for his grave than a sanctuary to Osiris,” said Dr. Martínez.
Social networks in rage
The news of the discovery has unleashed a viral wave on social networks such as Facebook, where thousands of users have shared photos of the tunnel, images of the bust found and theories about the queen’s destiny. The words “Cleopatra”, “Tomb” and “Archaeological Discovery” have become trends in a matter of hours.
In addition, popular historians and science disseminators on YouTube and Tiktok are beginning to produce real -time content about this amazing finding, which is attracting the interest of new generations.
And now what follows?
The archaeologists team will continue to explore the tunnel in the coming months, with high precision scanning technology and underground drones that could reveal unbelievable cameras. If human remains or real reasons are effectively, we could be before the largest archaeological discovery from the tomb of Tutankhamun.
This advance could not only change what we know about Cleopatra, but also about the end of the Ptolemaic era, Rome and ancient Egypt. What were only theories only, today they transform into palpable facts that bring humanity closer to one of the world’s oldest secrets.
