Cincinnati Gets Ready to Unveil Their New Cleopatra Exhibit

The Cincinnati Museum Center is getting ready to unveil their new and highly anticipated exhibit "Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt." This exhibit features over 150 artifacts weighing in at a total of 10 tons with some pieces being more than 2,000 years old. These artifacts were found after a series of earthquakes and floods nearly destroyed the ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria. French archaeologists recovered many pieces deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea.
