'Antony and Cleopatra's tomb found'
Egypt's top archaeologist unveiled 22 coins, 10 mummies, an alabaster head 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 at Burg El-Arab near the Mediterranean Sea contains the tomb of the doomed lovers that has been shrouded in mystery for so long.
Mark Antony and Cleopatra challenged Caesar Augustus for control of the Roman Empire more than two millennia ago.
Their armies were defeated and rather than submit to capture, the two lovers committed suicide, Mark Antony by his sword, Cleopatra with a poisonous asp.
