Cleopatra's Lost Tomb (Original title)
Date: 04 October 2015 (Television)Country: United KingdomDirector: Paul Olding
Synopsis: Dr Kathleen Martinez, a criminal lawyer turned maverick archaeologist, is searching for Cleopatra's lost tomb. Very little evidence remains of Egypt's last queen - despite centuries of searching, her final resting place has never been found - but Kathleen's radical new theory about the real Cleopatra has led her to look where no one else has dared. And her hunch is paying off as she stuns the archaeological establishment with her discoveries of incredible artefacts, a network of mysterious tunnels and even a vast city of the dead dated to the time of the Queen and her dynasty. Now Kathleen has made her biggest breakthrough so far, a 35-metre deep underground shaft that, according to the experts, has all the hallmarks of a burial shaft. ©Channel 4 publicity
