Theory Briefing
- Cleopatra VII, last ruler of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, died by her own hand in 30 B.C. — yet no tomb has ever been confirmed.
- Ancient historians recorded her death but left no reliable account of where she was buried, making the search almost entirely theoretical.
- Competing theories place her tomb at different sites across Egypt, with no single candidate yet backed by definitive archaeological evidence.
- The mystery endures partly because Cleopatra's burial may have been deliberately obscured after Rome's conquest of Egypt.
