Tombeau de la Chrétienne
Tombeau de la Chrétienne submitted by simonblackmore : Tomb of the Christian - in fact the Tomb of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Mark Antony and the Cleopatra, near Tepaza in Algeria (Vote or comment on this photo)
Pyramid in Algeria

The tomb of the Mauretanian king Juba II and of his wife Cleopatra Selene (daughter of Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra, queen of Egypt). It is built on a hill 250 Meters above the sea. A circular stone building surmounted by a pyramid rests on a lower platform, 60 Meters square. Originally the monument was about 40 Meters in height, but it has been wantonly damaged. Its height is now about 30 Meters. It was ornamented with 60 engaged Ionic columns. The capitals of the columns have disappeared.
