Skull Once Thought to Be Cleopatra's Sister Identified as Young Boy with Rare Growth Disorder
- A skull once thought to belong to Cleopatra's sister Arsinoe IV is actually from an 11-year-old boy, according to scientists from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
- The boy likely suffered from a developmental disorder and was found to be from Italy or Sardinia, as revealed by genetic analysis.
- The study published on January 10 in Scientific Reports confirmed the boy's age and that the remains were not Arsinoe IV's, prompting the continuation of the search for her remains.
- Researchers identified a Y chromosome in the tests, indicating the remains were male, and suggested the boy may have had Treacher Collins syndrome.
