An interdisciplinary research team led by anthropologist Gerhard Weber from the University of Vienna, together with experts from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, has analyzed a skull that was found in the ruins of Ephesos (Turkey) in 1929. It was long speculated that it could be the remains of Arsinoë IV, the daughter of Ptolemy XII, the king of Egypt from 80 to 51 BC, and the sister of the legendary Cleopatra, Egypt’s most famous queen who was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom (50—31 BC).
However, the latest anthropological analyses show that the remains are not those of the sister of Cleopatra, but actually belong to a boy between the ages of 11 and 14 who suffered from pathological developmental disorders. His genes point to an origin in Italy or Sardinia. The results are published in Scientific Reports.
In 1929, Austrian archaeologist Josef Keil and his colleagues discovered a sarcophagus completely filled with water in the ruins of the once magnificent “Octagon,” a splendid building on the main street of Ephesos (Turkey). No significant grave goods were found in it, but a complete skeleton was. Josef Keil only took the skull with him before the researchers closed the tomb on the important “Curetes Street” (Kuretenstraße) again.
