The Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra, enjoyed testing poison out on victims for fun and entertainment. She found that the best way to kill someone was with the bite of an asp.

The asp’s bite made the person sleepy and drowsy.

The victim did not spasm in pain nor did they suffer much when the poison entered their system.

In fact, when Cleopatra committed suicide she used the asp, which put her into a deep sleep forever.", "While the asp usually referred to the Egyptian cobra, many other ancient snake species were called asps.

The asps of antiquity were primarily the snakes of the region along the Nile River. The primary snake that was referred to as an asp was the Egyptian cobra.

In Egypt, the asp was incredibly deadly. Just one bite meant certain death. Due to this fact, the asp was often used as a means of execution for those deemed guilty of crimes. The Ancient Greeks started using asps for executions after the Egyptians. The Greeks had been linked to the practices of Egypt when Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world.", "Name confusion.

Today, the asp generally refers to the European viper. The European asp is a thick-bodied snake that ranges in length from 70 to 90 cm.

The European asp is also known as the European viper or the Aspic viper.

The European asp is indigenous to France, Andorra, Spain, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland and other countries north of the Mediterranean Sea.

The European asp lives primarily in moderate altitudes, in dry, sunny environments such as on the edge of rock formations and along the slopes of the Alps and the Pyrenees.", "The asp has poison in their fangs that can lead to cardiac arrest.

The primary cause of death of a victim of an asp bite is cardiac arrest. Typically, the poison from the fangs of the asp is injected into prey. The European asp, for example, feasts on small mammals and birds.

However, humans can suffer a similar fate if they are bitten by a viper asp. The Egyptian cobra, which was what was originally named the asp of ancient times, has a bite 10 times worse then most other snakes. Snakes in the wild should be avoided and if you are bitten you should seek immediate medical attention.", ];
