CAIRO (AP) - Doomed lovers Cleopatra and Mark Anthony have been missing since they committed suicide in 31 B.C. Now archaeologists plan to excavate three sites in Egypt that could contain their tombs.

The celebrated queen of Egypt and the Roman general could have been buried in a deep shaft in a temple near the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities said in a statement Wednesday.

Excavation work on the sites will begin next week.

I guess I have no problem with tourists if their admission money is recycled for more work at the site.
I think I would call it a voluntary tax.

Not to mention the hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops that clean up on them, too!

And they'll know it's Cleo 'cos she'll have clasped an Asp in her grasp and gasped her last!
