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.
