9.00 p.m. |HISTU|DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH II | Cleopatra
She ruled over men, bedding the likes of Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony, and led one of the greatest civilizations of the world. Her name has been immortalized in myth and legend. So, how did Cleopatra become the last of the pharaohs? How did the mighty fall? In the shadow of the pyramids, Josh Bernstein joins Zahi Hawass on a hunt for mummies from the time of Cleopatra. He'll come face to face with Cleopatra's killer, the Egyptian cobra, and sail down the Nile River searching for clues to her true history. In Alexandria, Josh will descend into the cisterns below the modern city to look for evidence of Cleopatra's reign. Finally he'll dive 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 pharaohs.
