I'm not that surprised tbh maybe that it's Roman cultural stuff specifically since that's so popular, you'd think the effort to find the stuff would be higher

But it does seem like you're always hearing about some crazy thing found from some old culture, whether Roman or Egypt, or Mayan or what

Yeah. Archeologists actually might be close to finding Cleopatra's tomb, but I personally don't believe such a place exists.

If what we know about Augustus in the modern day is relatively true to the man himself, I think he'd have had Cleopatra and Antony's bodies disposed of in the sea.

Mark Antony was Julius Caesar's right-hand man, and when Caesar was assassinated, Augustus (known by modern historians as Octavian), and he were rivals, then came together with another of Caesar's lieutenants, Marcus Lepidus, to form what became the Second Triumvirate. Eventually, they three killed Ceasar's assassins and split the Roman Republic between them. Antony became entranced by Cleopatra and fell in love with her, trying to give parts of the Republic between their children, and Octavian seized the opportunity and got enough public support to declare war on Antony and Cleopatra. Needless to say, he won, took all of Antony's lands, conquered Egypt, and eventually formed the Roman Empire, being named Augustus.

Should note that Octavian/Augustus has like six names because Roman naming conventions are dumb.'
