The Full Biography of Cleopatra
This documentary searches for the real Cleopatra behind the Hollywood myths, following archaeologist Kathleen Martinez on a fifteen-year quest to find the lost queen's tomb. It asks what Egypt's last pharaoh actually looked like and how her story was reshaped by legend. Blending excavation, history and detective work, it separates the woman from the icon. Absorbing and well told, it brings one of the ancient world's most famous rulers into sharper focus. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
