Rome:Archaeologists are set to test the theory about whether or not Cleopatra and her lover Mark Antony are buried together by opening their 2,000-year-old tomb later this year. The remains of Cleopatra and Antony are said to be inside a temple called Tabusiris Magna, which lies 30km from the port city of Alexandria in northern Egypt.

I would prefer they did not conduct any such tests. I like my fiction. I like the story of power, of love, of destruction, of defeat, of deceit…and then a greater love…
Cleopatra: If it be love indeed, tell me how much.
Mark Antony: There's beggary in the love that can be reckon'd.
Cleopatra: I'll set a bourn how far to be beloved.
Mark Antony: Then must thou needs find out new heaven, new earth.
Quotes: From Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra.

The film was very good but I did not like Liz Taylor.Reading Shakespeare sonnets now
ReplyDeleteI liked Liz Talor but did not like her associate (he/she?).
ReplyDeleteNor did I like Ceaser getting his stupid fits and he was so old and tired. Not fit for Lizzie.
