    Puzzle # 8058

    [​IMG]

    Answer: Cleopatra806

    Image 1: She died inducing an Egyptian Cobra to bite her
    Image 2: Statue of Julius Caesar
    Image 3: New Alexandria
    Image 4: Coin with the image of Cleopatra
    Image 5: William Shakespeare
    Image 6: She died at the age of 39
    Image 7: Mark Anthony

    Some interesting facts:

    She represented herself as the incarnation of the Egyptian goddess Isis.
    There is a rumor that she used to bath with Donkey's milk to keep her skin tone perfect to her satisfaction. (Please don't try this at home).

    The credit for solving this puzzle goes to @kkrish, @Gauri03, @kaniths and @jskls.

    Puzzle-2018-1_v2.jpg Here's a new puzzle inspired by conversations elsewhere on IL. As always, the aim is to entertain with a story you might not know. The clues refer to a historical event.

    Difficulty level -> Easy, but somewhat complexified to make the exercise at least a bit non-obvious. :lol:

    No prior knowledge required, but where it exists, is always useful, especially for one specific clue; but then, although every clue is informative, not all clues are required for a solution. A subset (with Google-Fu) will do! More clues as requested.

    Note that Row-2, panels (1 + 2) constitute one search term. There! I gave the store away!:wink1:

    Some of the clues are entertaining in themselves - one for its content and the other ... well, let's just say it's almost an internet obligation, but a first for LFUT-Neurons!:roflmao:

    No! :confused::lol:
    We'll let a few others take a shot at it before adding more clues. Keep trying!

    PS: In case the pic boundaries are not clear, note that Row-2, panel-1 includes all 3 stick figures, and panel-2 includes pic + inset.

    And I'm not sure how you arrived @ 9 CE. The pics that may indicate earlier periods point somewhere else, no? :wink1:

    Right track for that clue, but I'm not sure I understand your cryptic reference.
    Look at the picture more carefully! :lol:
    With a bit of Google-Fu, it's very, very easy! Not a 'he'.
