Digging for the Truth, "Cleopatra: The Last Pharaoh"

Ruler of mighty Egypt, seductress of Roman emperors, how did the magnificent Cleopatra fall from grace? In the shadow of the pyramids, Josh Bernstein joins Zahi Hawass on a hunt for mummies from the time of the last great pharaoh. He comes face to face with Cleopatra's killer, the Egyptian cobra, and sails down the Nile searching for clues to her true history. In Alexandria, Josh descends into the cisterns below the modern city in search of evidence of Cleopatra's reign. Finally he dives into the Harbor of Alexandria, where a beautiful palace - possibly the last vestige of Cleopatra's legendary wealth - lies, the only testament to a woman who was perhaps the wisest and most cunning of all of Egypt's rulers.
