Introduction
By mentioning her name, most people think of one of the most beautiful woman of the Ancient world. A woman whose beauty and charm could not be resisted by a lot of men of her time, including some of the most powerful of them like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony; a woman that catches our attention even today.
On the other hand, the portraits of her, like those on coins or statues, bring us another picture; after all, she might not be as beautiful as we were supposed to think.
If archaeologists succeed in finding her remains, we could reconstruct her face and make the final judgment. She was Cleopatra, The Last Queen of Egypt…
Welcome to the pages, where I’ll try to cover all the news related to the efforts to find her final resting place and collect as much information as possible, about her and her life.

A lot of people tend to fall into the trap of believing that Cleopatra was beautiful.
She was indeed intelligent, intellectual and strong. These traits alone would have been enough to consider her beautiful.
The Romans wrote the histories when Cleopatra had died. Although they clearly despised her- not even they could suppress her name and her achievements. That fact alone is enough to leave us wanting to know more.
Sadly- we may never know for sure what she looked like. I hope- for your sake Englez- this is not the case. Alexandrea may yet divulge her secrets....
