Rixen Jean Andre (1846-1924) Introduction:
According to a latest research conducted by the channel "Discovery Channel" there would be ample evidence that lead to change the caption on the death of the last queen of Egypt, Cleopatra.
Through research of a police forensics, this channel came to the conclusion that Cleopatra had committed suicide, as has been believed for centuries, but it must have been murdered by Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome.
Through expert analysis, the researcher was studying point about the events surrounding the death of the Queen and through his appreciation police found a large number of prints on his death which led to affirm the theory of murder political.
Although this study is a certain logic and possibility, in my view, a mistake very common in these new historical research. Enhances our way of seeing things, events, motivations and intentions of the acts performed by men of the past.
is very difficult to understand the reasons for the actions of human beings who lived in other times, if we can not put ourselves in their circumstances and intgentar see the world through their eyes.
Although the passions, visions and goals of human beings have not changed much through the generations, the interpretations of them, they mutate from the time where you look, making history a living organism. Therefore, I believe that this research Adolesce a thorough analysis of the thinking of the participants of this significant historical tragedy.
Development: One of the points, stronger, research shown on the cable channel on which underpinned much of the new theory of the death of Cleopatra, focuses on the effectiveness of poison of the snake, which according to historians Dio Cassius and Plutarch, have killed the queen.
Through a study of the potential lethal bite of the Egyptian cobra, which is used to commit suicide Cleopatra, the researcher and a group of scientists concluded that the inability of Cleopatra and her two maids had died in less than two hours, the product of the power of the poison of this animal. This had given a loose range of time Octavio Augusto, his captor, to find still alive, the three women and try to do something to reverse this situation. Octavio Augusto
was located in the palace of Cleopatra, only a few miles from where she was imprisoned with her servants.
After making the study of this poison, we studied another deadly potion, well known at the time, the hemlock.
This poison, known for being used in the death sentence of the Greek philosopher Socrates, was analyzed by the same scientific group that discovered the need for a large amount of this potion to be killed quickly these three women, also ruling out this possibility. Here we find one of the first weaknesses of the investigation.
What would have happened if Cleopatra possessed another type of poison, far more deadly and effective, and only had used the snake with another intention?
At that time, in Egypt, knew a great range of plants and animals, especially poisonous and potentially deadly mix which was very effective for rapid and fulminant deaths. Another
edges coroner investigating the police and his group and they use to defend his thesis is that Cleopatra would have sent a letter to Octavio Augusto. In this letter, the queen of all Egypt tells his decision to commit suicide .... Octavio
continue.
