Cleopatra, last queen of Egypt, committed suicide using poison, possibly snake venom. However, when found, her body was only marked with two small scratches on the arm, and there was no sign of a snake. One of her last requests was to be buried next to her lover, Mark Anthony, and it seems likely that Octavian, the Roman conqueror of Egypt, followed her wishes. Nevertheless, their tomb has never been discovered.

The Sewers of Paris

Paris's first sewer system was built in the 1200s. It consisted of open troughs that ran down the center of the cobblestone streets. This was a major cause of the spread of the Black Death in 1348–1349.
