Abembi bezinto zakudala baye babhengeza ukuba basondele kakhulu ekufumaneni indawo apho umlawuli wokugqibela waseYiputa, uCleopatra, kunye nesithandwa sakhe, injengele yaseRoma uMark Antony, bangcwatyelwa khona, kunokwenzeka kunye.
Izazinzulu zikholelwa ukuba ziye zachaza eyona ndawo bangcwatyelwa kuyo abona bantu banempembelelo kwimbali yoluntu.
Ingcwaba elingaqondakaliyo likaCleopatra kunye noMark Antony ekugqibeleni liya kufunyanwa. Ifumaneka kwindawo yaseTaposiris Magna, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-30 ukusuka e-Alexandria, utshilo u-archaeologist odumileyo waseYiputa uZahi Hawass (umfanekiso).
“Ndilindele ukuba kungekudala ndiza kudibana nengcwaba labo apho babekwe khona bobabini. Sikwindlela elungileyo kwaye sazi kakuhle apho kufuneka sembe khona ukuze siyifumane,” uqinisekise uHawass, nowayesakuba ngumphathiswa wezokhenketho eYiphutha.
UCleopatra noMark Antony bazibulala ngo-30 BC. Ngelo xesha, umlawuli waseYiputa, ummeli wokugqibela olawulayo wePtolemaic dynasty, wayeneminyaka engama-39 ubudala, kwaye uMark Antony wayeneminyaka engama-53 ubudala, amanqaku angama-20minutos.
Emuva ngoFebruwari 2013, abaphandi babhengeza ukuba bafumene amathambo kadadewabo kaCleopatra owabulawa, u-Arsinoe IV, eTurkey. Amathambo afunyanwa kwangowe-1985 kwitempile eyibhodlo kwisixeko samandulo samaGrike i-Efese (esikwintshona yeTurkey namhlanje). Umvubukuli othi ufumene amathambo unethemba elikhulu kubuchule obutsha be-forensic ukuchonga ngokuqinisekileyo oko kufunyanisiweyo.
Ukuqala nje ukujonga, kubonakala ngathi iintsalela zezalowo wabulawa ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-2,000 XNUMX eyadlulayo ngomyalelo kaKumkanikazi u-Arsinoe. Kodwa abachasi balo mbono bakholelwa ukuba uvavanyo lwe-DNA alukwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuba amathambo kabani na ngenxa yokuba aqhutywe amaxesha amaninzi. Nangona kunjalo, izazinzulu ezivela kwi-Academy yase-Austrian yeSayensi ezenza ukufunyanwa ziqinisekile ukuba iintsalela zexesha lamandulo lentsapho yasebukhosini yaseYiputa.
I-Princess Arsinoe kukholelwa ukuba ngudadewabo omncinci kaCleopatra. Utata wabo kukholelwa ukuba nguPtolemy XII Auletus, kodwa akwaziwa ukuba ngaba bobabini bebephuma kumama omnye.
Kuyaziwa ukuba aba babini babengathandani. Emva kokubulawa kukaKesare, uCleopatra weyisela isithandwa sakhe uMark Antony ukuba abulale u-Arsinoe, njengoko ebona imbangi yakhe kumzabalazo wolawulo.
