Is true face of Cleopatra found? Here’s what an archaeologist claims to have unearthed about famous queen
Cleopatra’s presumed burial site in Egypt has sparked debates among experts. A statue found there is believed to depict the true face of the famous queen, but its identity remains contested.
Cleopatra’s Alleged Tomb
An Egyptian-Dominican archaeological team led by Dr. Kathleen Martinez uncovered artifacts at Taposiris Magna Temple near Alexandria. The findings include a white marble statue adorned with a royal crown, which Martinez claims reveals Cleopatra VII's face.
The excavation also yielded a half-length statue of a king wearing the Nemes headdress, ritual pottery, bronze statues and 337 coins. Some coins bear images of Cleopatra VII, adding to the site's historical significance.

Debate Over Statue’s Identity
Martinez has dedicated nearly two decades to finding Cleopatra’s tomb. She believes the marble statue accurately portrays Cleopatra, who ruled Egypt from 51 to 30 BC. However, other experts disagree. They point out that the statue’s features differ from known depictions of the queen. Some suggest it may depict a Ptolemaic princess instead.
