		<description><![CDATA[A 3-D image of Cleopatra has been rendered by computer imaging based on images from ancient artifacts.  
Egyptologist Sally Ann Ashton of Cambridge University says the image(s) reflect the Queen&#8217;s Greek heritage.  Cleopatra was born in 69BC into an Egyptian &#8211; Greek dynasty.  She took the throne at 17 and by 20 [...]]]></description>
