In a significant cultural event, renowned Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass held a press conference at the Palazzo Reale in Milan to announce the launch of "Cleopatra: The Truth," an innovative virtual reality (VR) project dedicated to exploring the life story of Queen Cleopatra.

The conference was attended by prominent diplomatic and media figures, most notably Egypt’s Consul in Milan, Walid Osman, and tourism expert Walid El-Batouty, alongside a large media delegation of approximately 150 journalists.

Dr. Zahi Hawass emphasized that this project was developed in collaboration with Dr. Kathleen Martinez, who is currently leading excavations at "Taposiris Magna" in search of Queen Cleopatra's tomb.

Hawass stated that the project aims to further unveil the historical truth about Cleopatra—not merely as a legendary figure, but as a powerful queen, a skilled political leader, and one of the most compelling figures in history.

The global premiere of the experience is scheduled for November 1, 2026. Viewers will be taken on an immersive two-hour journey that delves into the details of Cleopatra’s life and historical narrative. Following its debut in Milan, the experience is expected to travel to Cairo before embarking on a world tour, offering global audiences an exceptional opportunity to experience history through cutting-edge technology.
