Kudos to David Meadows for Cleopatra, Arsinoe, and the Implications.
Just before bed last night I was deluged with bloggables, chief among which was a report in numerous newspapers about tests having been done on the bones of someone believed to be Arsinoe, Cleopatra’s murdered sister. This one presents numerous difficulties and the press might be jumping the gun (once again), although it is clear this is hype for a television program masquerading as news …
A lot of leaps have been taken in and by the media. I think everyone should take a deep breath. Not ... likely!
