Es ist in der Tat ein Maß dafür, wie wenig wir über Cleopatra wissen, dass die einzigen Bilder von ihr entweder die Münzen sind, auf die sie geschlagen hat, mit sehr wenig schmeichelhaften offiziellen Porträts von ihr oder einige zweifelhafte Büsten, die von anderen Frauen stammen, die ihre Frisur nachahmen.

The first time I met Leo Messi, I didn't know who he was, only that I couldn't believe the boots he was wearing. But he is like a brother to me. It was at the start of 2005, when I was with the Argentine under-17 squad and I saw him chatting with Ezequiel Garay and some other players about the boots he'd brought back from the U.S.A.

The industry does have some influence on who gets other awards. With the Mercury Prize, they don't. Jon comes from the business, but his heart is still very much in the music. Currently, we have about 12 major names that have said they want to be a part of MUDDA.

In the first place, the preparation of the Nobel lecture which I am to give has shown me, even more clearly than I knew before, how many others share with me, often, indeed, have anticipated me, in the discoveries for which you have awarded me the prize.
