I visited the Zoo, and learned two interesting things.
(1)
The bite of a cobra is lethal, if it is an adult one. Adult cobra's are at least a meter and a half long.
(2)
A cobra can kill a grown-up person, but needs about three, four hours until it can strike again.
So... how can you hide a cobra in a box of figs? And how can one cobra kill one Egyptian queen and two servants? I would not be surprised if Cleopatra did not commit suicide, but was killed by Roman soldiers, who got rid of the two witnesses as wel.
