Giuseppina Capriotti, an Egyptologist at Italy's National Research Council, found the statues of the babies Alexander Helios (Sun) and Cleopatra Selene (Moon) in the museum that were discovered near the temple of Dendera on the west bank of the Nile in 1918, according to Discovery News.
The researcher identified the children as Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene, Antony and Cleopatra's twins, following a detailed stylistic and iconographic analysis published by the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology at the University of Warsaw.
