The Mystery of the White Marble Queen – Could This Be Cleopatra VII? The Mystery of the White Marble Queen – Could This Be Cleopatra VII? Ladies and gentlemen, step into a world of ancient intrigue and timeless beauty. Today, we unravel a fascinating mystery that has captivated archaeologists and historians alike—a small, white marble statue that might just depict the legendary Queen Cleopatra VII herself. This enigmatic statue was unearthed beneath the walls of an ancient temple in a long-lost Egyptian city. With her regal crown and elegant features, the figure has sparked debates among scholars. Some believe it portrays Cleopatra VII, the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty, famed for her intelligence, charm, and her legendary romances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Cleopatra VII ruled Egypt during a time of extraordinary upheaval. Her dynasty began with Ptolemy I Soter, a general of Alexander the Great, but ended with her tragic death in 30 BCE. Could this statue be a rare glimpse into her life and legacy? Not everyone agrees. Renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, who has studied this ancient site extensively, argues otherwise. He suggests the statue may represent a royal princess or noblewoman from a later period, long after Cleopatra's reign ended and Roman rule began in Egypt. Adding to the intrigue, archaeologists discovered 337 coins nearby, many bearing Cleopatra’s unmistakable likeness. Alongside these, they unearthed artifacts like oil lamps, a bronze ring dedicated to the goddess Hathor—symbolizing love and fertility—and a powerful amulet etched with the words "The Justice of Ra has appeared." And let’s not forget the breathtaking discoveries from Taposiris Magna—the same site where this statue was found. For over a decade, Kathleen Martinez and her team have uncovered temples, tombs, and even a vast underground tunnel.
