The Times: Reports a new attempt to find the Tombs of Cleopatra and Mark Antony in Egypt. If the Tombs of these two great lovers could be found it would be the biggest news in the historical field since Howard Carter found King Tutankhamun in the 1920s. I have two different views on this attempt, it would be great to find the mummies of Cleopatra and Mark Antony, the latest technology could be used to see how reality matches the historical record. On the other hand there is the mystery of these two great figures, do I want to really know if the fact is different from the fiction. When one thinks of our Cleo, one thinks of a beautiful and intelligent woman, not the type you meet clubbing these days. Of Mark Antony you think of brave and intelligent soldier. If the mummies state something else it would you really want to know the new facts.
