BURG EL-ARAB, Egypt (April 19) – Egypt's top archaeologist made his version of a sales pitch Sunday, presenting 22 coins, 10 mummies, and a fragment of a mask with a cleft chin as evidence that the discovery of the lost tomb of Mark Antony and Cleopatra is at hand.
Zahi Hawass showed off the ancient treasures to journalists during a tour of a 2,000-year-old temple to the god Osiris, where they were found. He believes the site near the Mediterranean Sea contains the tomb of the doomed lovers that has been shrouded in mystery for so long.
"In my opinion, if this tomb is found, it will be one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century because of the love between Cleopatra and Mark Antony, and because of the sad story of their death," he said.
Mark Antony and Cleopatra challenged Caesar Augustus for control of the Roman Empire more than two millenia ago. Their armies were defeated and rather than submit to capture, the lovers committed suicide — Mark Antony by his sword, Cleopatra with a poisonous asp.( Read more... )

In order for you to be my friend you need to add me first then comment below and then after you friend me I'll friend you back, but alas no comment means no friending. I'm easy to get along with and have no issues with lurkers, but if your a lurker at least post every so often to let me know how your life is going, yeah? If you find that I friended you first, then just know that I have found you and your stories intriguing and wish to read more.
I post loads of pics here, random stories and poetry that I write and well sometimes nothing. At times you'll read alot of rambling that may not make any sense to you, but to me it does. I might be an attention whore one minute and the next I'll be fine.
I also talk about witchcraft and other odd stuff. Yep get it outta your system.. I'm a witch, deal with it and move on. I do not worship the devil and I most certainly do not make blood sacrifices of any kind to any demons or devils. Remember this people. I don't believe in the devil or satan so how the bloody hell can I worship them? I do not need to be saved, been through that... didn't work. I know exactly where I'm going when I die.. do you? I love exploring haunted places. I would love to spend the night in a haunted place, no matter where it is! Yes if you were to pay me I would spend the night in a haunted house... as long as I had someone else go with me.. maybe!
Type O Negative is also one of my favorite topics. I talk about them pretty much.. ALL THE TIME, especially Peter Steele and as of late Josh Silver.. yes I'm obsessed, but it's a healthy obsession!!
As if you can't already tell, I like things pretty much dark and gothicy. Vampires are my favorite. :drools: I absolutely adore vampire novels, etc. Yum!
So bewarned those who enter the threshhold of this journal will be Mine for all eternity.. or until whenever! Think ya can handle that?
Warning.. I already have a low self esteem, gigantic walls are built that I am attempting to knock over, if you've come here to cause trouble then be prepared to get the hex of your life and permanent exile.. that and I'll send my minions of demonic kittens after your soul!
