Ua hoʻolaha ka poʻe kālaihonua ua kokoke loa lākou e ʻike i kahi i kanu ʻia ai ke aliʻi hope loa o ʻAigupita, ʻo Cleopatra, a me kāna mea aloha, ʻo Mark Antony.
Manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema ua kuhikuhi lākou i kahi kikoʻī kahi i kanu ʻia ai kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi o ka mōʻaukala kanaka.
E ʻike ʻia ka hale kupapaʻu pohihihi o Cleopatra lāua ʻo Mark Antony. Aia ia ma kahi o Taposiris Magna, ma kahi o 30 km mai Alexandria, wahi a ka mea kālaihonua kaulana ʻo ʻAigupita ʻo Zahi Hawass (kiʻi ʻia).
"Ke manaʻo nei au e hele koke mai i ko lākou hale kupapaʻu kahi i waiho ʻia ai lāua ʻelua. Aia mākou ma ke ala pololei a ʻike maopopo mākou i kahi e pono ai mākou e ʻeli e loaʻa ai, "i hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai ʻo Hawass, ʻo ia ke kuhina huakaʻi mua o ʻAigupita.
Ua pepehi ʻo Cleopatra lāua ʻo Mark Antony iā lākou iho i ka makahiki 30 BC. I kēlā manawa, ʻo ke aliʻi o ʻAigupita, ka luna hoʻomalu hope loa o ka moʻokūʻauhau Ptolemaic, he 39 mau makahiki, a ʻo Mark Antony he 53 mau makahiki, nā moʻolelo 20minutos.
Ma hope o Pepeluali 2013, ua hoʻolaha nā mea noiʻi ua loaʻa iā lākou nā iwi o ke kaikuahine pepehi kanaka o Cleopatra, ʻo Arsinoe IV, ma Turkey. Ua ʻike ʻia nā koena i ka makahiki 1985 i loko o kahi luakini i hoʻopau ʻia ma ke kūlanakauhale Helene kahiko o Epeso (ke komohana ʻo Turkey i kēia lā). ʻO ka mea kālaihonua i ʻōlelo ua loaʻa i nā iwi he manaʻolana nui no nā ʻenehana forensic hou e ʻike maopopo ai i ka loaʻa.
I ka nana mua ana, ua ikeia no ka mea i pepehiia mamua o 2,000 makahiki aku nei ma ke kauoha a ka Moiwahine Arsinoe. Akā, manaʻo ka poʻe kūʻē i kēia manaʻo ʻaʻole hiki i kahi hōʻike DNA ke hōʻoia i ka iwi nona lākou no ka mea ua hana pinepine ʻia lākou. Eia naʻe, ua manaʻoʻiʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema mai ka Austrian Academy of Sciences nāna i ʻike i ke koena no ka wā kahiko o ka ʻohana aliʻi o ʻAigupita.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ke Kamāliʻiwahine Arsinoe ʻo ke kaikuahine ʻōpio ʻo Cleopatra. Ua manaʻo ʻia ko lāua makua kāne ʻo Ptolemy XII Auletus, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia inā no ka makuahine hoʻokahi.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole aloha lāua. Ma hope o ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o Kaisara, ua hōʻoia ʻo Cleopatra i kāna mea aloha ʻo Mark Antony e pepehi iā Arsinoe, ʻoiai ʻo ia e ʻike nei iā ia he hoʻokūkū i ka hakakā ʻana no ka mana.
