Recently the palace complex of Cleopatra last queen of Egypt was discovered in the bay outside Alexandria Egypt 21 ft under the sea by Franck Goddio
and his team. The area appears to have suffered an earthquake sometime ofter Cleopatra's death which may have caused the whole harbour area to descend below the waves.
Like most Egyptian Pharaoh's Cleopatra used buildings and monuments as Propaganda. A favourite way of self promotion was to have inscriptions made on temples. There are existing statues, and coins bearing her image, but the largest dedication to Cleopatra VII is at Dendra temple where her image is same 30ft high. She didn't built the temple it was built by her Ptolemaic predecessors by she remodeled it. Perhaps it was cheaper to redecorate than to rebuild?
Unfortunately Cleopatra's needle in America and London was built by Thutmosis III and not by Cleopatra VII though again her cartouche has been added to it at a later date.

Oh, dude, Cleopatra didn't really build any structures herself. She was more into ruling Egypt and hanging out with powerful dudes like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. She probably just left the building stuff to other people while she focused on being a boss queen. Like, can you imagine Cleopatra with a hard hat and blueprints? That's a sitcom waiting to happen.
Cleopatra built no monuments nor did she undertake any monumental building projects as other pharaohs did. The only building that she did was a temple to Julius Caesar and her own tomb which was still unfinished at her death. It is said that she finished up one of her father's projects at the temple of Hathor and perhaps ordered a boat dock to be built by the temple.
Homes and other structures can be protected from liquefaction by being anchored to a rock below the soil. Liquefaction happens when structures are built on soft ground.
Ziggurats were massive structures built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau.
