A statue of Cleopatra's head made of alabaster and a mask believed to be of her lover - Mark Antony - was found near the ancient city of Alexandria in Egypt.

In addition, two other treasures, a bronze statue of the goddess Aphrodite and a headless statue of a royal character from the Ptolemaic dynasty, ruled Egypt from 323 to 30 BC, a group of Egyptian and Dominica archaeologists discovered at the temple of Tapsiris Magna.

The group also found about 20 coins engraved with Cleopatra's face in a 50-meter-deep underground cellar.

The group's goal was to find the tomb of Cleopatra's famous queen, but there was no sign of her being her grave. If true, this will be the greatest discovery in Egypt since the discovery of the tomb of young King Tutankhamen in 1922.

Cleopatra and Mark Anthony are among the most famous couples in Egyptian history. They committed suicide after their defeat in the battle of Acitum.
