Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. For over two thousand years, the final resting place of Cleopatra VII - the last pharaoh of Egypt - has remained one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries. Was she buried in the royal quarter of Alexandria, now swallowed by the sea? Or did she choose a hidden sanctuary, far from Roman reach, in a temple dedicated to the goddess she embodied - Isis?In Cleopatra's Final Secret: Sunken Ports, Lost Cities, and the Search for Egypt's Last Queen, the mystery takes a dramatic new turn.A team of archaeologists, led by Kathleen Martinez and supported by legendary explorer Bob Ballard (discoverer of the Titanic), has uncovered a stunning find off Egypt's Mediterranean coast - a sunken port, complete with towering stone columns, polished floors, ship anchors, and amphorae, all dated to Cleopatra's reign. Even more astonishing, this forgotten harbor lies directly offshore from the temple of Taposiris Magna, where Martinez has spent two decades excavating a 4,281-foot tunnel leading toward the sea. Could this be the long-lost gateway to Cleopatra's tomb?This book takes you on an unforgettable journey through ancient Egypt's land and sea, weaving together: The drowned cities of Heracleion and Canopus - and how earthquakes, land subsidence, and rising seas erased entire coastlines.The history and architecture of Taposiris Magna, the temple dedicated to Isis, and why it may have been chosen by Cleopatra as her eternal sanctuary.The life, reign, and death of Cleopatra - queen, strategist, lover, and myth - and how Rome sought to erase her from history.The groundbreaking methods of underwater archaeology, from sonar mapping to 3D modeling, that are rewriting what we know about Egypt's maritime past.The heated debates between scholars and seekers - is Cleopatra's tomb still waiting to be found, or is it forever lost beneath Alexandria's waves?The future of the search - and what it would mean for Egypt, history, and the world if Cleopatra's tomb is finally discovered.More than just a story of archaeology, this is a story of myth, memory, and human obsession. Cleopatra's legend has outlived empires, inspiring centuries of art, literature, and imagination. Whether or not her tomb is ever found, the discovery of the sunken port has already changed Egypt's history - revealing a lost chapter of its maritime power and opening a new frontier beneath the waves. If you are fascinated by ancient Egypt, lost cities, underwater discoveries, and the timeless enigma of Cleopatra, this book will transport you to a world where ruins whisper, seas conceal, and the search for truth continues.
