Head of the Dominican archaeological mission Kathleen Martinez believes that the tomb of Cleopatra VII and her husband, the Roman leader Mark Antony, is in the basement of the temple of Isis and Osiris.

The monument marking the resting place of the deceased is modest and simple, as lavish displays are discouraged in Islam. Graves are sometimes marked only with a simple wreath, if at all. However, it is becoming more common for family members to have small grave monuments.
