The Baron
Heinrich Richtohofen, John
Storm and Hal,
the AI onboard the Elizabeth
Swann, agree that Cleopatra is entombed underwater in
her former Palace at Alexandria.
Her former presence on earth poisoned herself after losing
the Battle of Actium, and Marc Antony having fallen upon his
sword - having been fooled into believing his lover was
dead.
In this
section Cleopatra
poisons herself with an Egyptian cobra, an asp, while
reclined on a bed, attended by two hand maidens.
Set
in Alexandria in 30 BC, in a Temple mausoleum in ancient
Egypt.
