What was said
"You will never discover the tomb of Cleopatra. It's under the water. We searched in a temple for the tomb of Cleopatra for the last 20 years with Kathleen Martinez from the Dominican Republic, and we found nothing."
Egypt's leading archaeologist definitively stated that Cleopatra's tomb, located beneath the Mediterranean Sea near her palace, cannot be recovered despite 20 years of searching with diving expeditions. Hawass explained that while they worked with Bill Ballard, who discovered the Titanic, the tomb remains inaccessible underwater. He positioned this as less significant than potential Khufu discoveries, contradicting public perception of Cleopatra's fame.
