Cleopatra's Tomb: Secrets of the Nile

🏺 A text game you play by talking to Grok. You run one twelve-week dig season hunting the tomb of Cleopatra and Mark Antony — buried together in 30 BC, never found. The ancient accounts, the finds and the sunken harbour are real; your mission and colleagues are invented — and nobody, this game included, knows where she lies. You get a numbered menu every turn, and you can always type something of your own instead.

Plutarch says her tomb stood beside a temple of Isis. Then Alexandria's royal quarter slid into the sea. Two coasts are in play: the drowned palaces of the eastern harbour, and a temple of Osiris thirty miles west where one mission has dug for twenty years.

Work as a field archaeologist, epigrapher, marine archaeologist, classicist or surveyor, on what really exists:

• A rock-cut tunnel 1,305 metres long, part of it under the sea
• A harbour found on the seabed in 2025 — columns, anchors, a polished floor
• Coins with her face, and mummies buried with gold-foil tongues
• The two royal cartouches that cracked hieroglyphs in 1822, read sign by sign

Type "fact" any time and the game breaks character to say what is documented, what a mission claims, what is only announced, and what nobody knows. A season report that says where to dig next, and why, is a win.

Every scene quietly composes a full media set you can picture or contribute, and contributed scenes become AI-generated reenactment films at momatio.
