 The tunnel is 4,800 feet long and 6.5 feet high ( Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities) Archaeologist Kathleen Martinez believes that there is a 1% chance that Cleopatra and Mark Antony could be buried there, with the tunnel leading the way - and she says that would be the 'most important discovery of the 21st century', reported Heritage Key. Ms Martinez believes that following Mark Antony's suicide, Cleopatra made plans for the two to be buried there. She told National Geographic : "Cleopatra negotiated with Octavian to allow her to bury Mark Antony in Egypt. She wanted to be buried with him because she wanted to re-enact the legend of Isis and Osiris. "The true meaning of the cult of Osiris is that it grants immortality. After their deaths, the gods would allow Cleopatra to live with Antony in another form of existence, so they would have eternal life together."

Archaeologists led by Kathleen Martinez have been looking for the long lost tomb of the last pharaoh Cleopatra who could be buried alongside her lover Marc Antony
Archaeologists have found a 4,800 foot long tunnel below an ancient Egyptian city which may lead the way to the long lost tomb of the last pharaoh Cleopatra.
The Greco- Roman tunnel dating back over 2,000 years was discovered beneath the Ancient Egyptian city of Taposiris Magna.
Lying on the northern coast of Egypt the rock-cut tunnel stretching 4,281 feet was found by the Egyptian Dominican Archaeological Mission.
Taposiris Magna, which is a city established by Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus between 280 and 270 BC, is located in the nowadays Alexandria Governorate in Egypt.
