Archaeologists in Egypt next week begin excavating sites that may contain the tomb of Cleopatra and Mark Antony, whose doomed love story has inspired writers and filmmakers for decades.A radar survey last month of the temple of Taposiris Magna near the Mediterranean Sea found three deep shafts inside the temple that were possibly 'the tombs of important people,' the Supreme Council of Antiquities said in an e-mailed statement today.
The expedition has also found a bust of Cleopatra made of alabaster, 22 coins bearing her image, as well as a mask believed to belong to Mark Antony, said the statement.
