Netflix: my gran said she was black so she was... okay.

Adherence to Woke Dogma and racial pandering supercede all other considerations. This entire production is just an obscenity.

As a black brit I support the actress. Cleopatra is one if the earliest examples of multi-culturism. To the Egyptians she was depicted as Isis, to the Romans she was depicted as Venus. The white statues have long lost their colour. We all know you can have mixed heritage, the actress herself is mixed and probably is the right complexion, even as a Greek Cleopatra would not have been lilly white, let alone with an Egyptian grandmother!

@@David-ox7ps @David-ox7ps We have historical evidence that she was a Macedonian Greek and that her family was obsessed with blood 'purity' to the point they encouraged incestuous marriages (Cleopatra herself was married to two of her brothers before her affair with Caesar). It is highly unlikely that Cleopatra's grandmother was Egyptian but in the event that she was Cleopatra still wouldn't have had dark skin because native Egyptians aren't of Nubian descent.

@@suenzhong7891 Yes she was of Greek origin, but Cleopatra's father was Ptolemy XII, but he was illegitimate, his mother is not recorded. Cleopatra became Pharaoh upon his death. There is no definitive record of her mother or Grandmother, even if some historians say her mother was Cleopatra V. Egyptologist Sally-Ann Ashton who worked on the Netflix shows states, "Cleopatra ruled in Egypt long before the Arab settlement in North Africa", if the maternal side of her family were indigenous women, they would've been African, and this should be reflected in contemporary representations of Cleopatra".

Cleopatras father Ptolemy XII was illegitimate and only became Pharaoh after his father and then half sister had died. Being illegitimate meant he was probably not fully Greek and likely of mixed Greek and Egyptian heritage. Cleopatra became Pharaoh upon his death. There is no record of Cleopatra’s maternal line. Neither her mother (supposedly Cleopatra V) or Grandmother is confirmed. It makes sense that her mother was mixed (African and Greek) especially as she is the only Ptolemy to learn Egyptian.

@@David-hc4xh Egpytians aren't black tho.

Based on what afrocentrists from USA are trying to sell - you are a descendant of Arab invaders who did the racial cleansing of ancient Egypt and replaced the black people with Arabs. That "historical" fact has one big problem - Arabs have conquered Persia and did not eradicate Persians because modern Iranians are proof of it, Arabs have conquered Berbers and have not eradicate them either because Berbers exist to this day... so why would Egypt be an exemption? Because it is not. Because this racial change in Egypt when Arabs came *did not* happen.

Actually, this is not correct. The Sinai is in West Asia, but the lands west of the Sinai is in Northeast Africa. That said the DELTA is 300 kilometers from West Asia (for example Damanhur), but Nubia is 1000 kilometers away from Damanhur. A lot of the ancient Egyptians came from the Middle East, West Asia, and also North Africa. Scholars say ancient farmer Middle East people came many thousands of years ago to Egypt, so long before Arabs came, people from the Middle East already came thousands of years ago.

The David Guetta part was funny, considering that House Music originates with Black Americans, yes it’s Black American subculture! 😅 The second comical part is that this particular Cleopatra was not even an Egyptian, let alone African. She was a descendant from Macedonians. She maybe had some African admixture in her, which would appear to be a biracial look. “Cleopatra’s racial background. It’s a little complicated, so do follow closely! She was born in early 69 BC as the descendant of a line of Egyptian kings in a dynasty that went back 250 years. Her ancestor Ptolemy I, a companion of Alexander the Great, founded the dynasty in the late fourth century BC. Ptolemy was Macedonian Greek in origin (he grew up at the royal court of Alexander’s father in Macedonia, the northern part of the Greek peninsula), and established himself as king of Egypt in the convulsive years after Alexander’s death. “. (Source: Duane W. Roller) For the second claim but also first claim, which makes it the third comical part. See Hollywood has been on the Egyptian bandwagon since the days cinematography. exists! Since you wanted facts about ancient Egypt, here are the facts. "Many of the sites reveal evidence of important interactions between Nilotic and Saharan groups during the formative phases of the Egyptian Predynastic Period (e.g. Wadi el-Hôl, Rayayna, Nuq’ Menih, Kurkur Oasis). Other sites preserve important information regarding the use of the desert routes during the Protodynastic and Pharaonic Periods, particularly during periods of political and military turmoil in the Nile Valley (e.g. Gebel Tjauti, Wadi el-Hôl)." (Yale University Department of Egyptology, Theban Desert Road Survey and Yale Toshka Desert Survey) *Some groups (using cemeteries E-01-2, E-03-1, E-03-2, and E-09-4) show some affiliation with sub-Saharan Africans, readable in the pottery assemblage and other grave goods, as well as some morphological features “ (Irish 2010; Kobusiewicz and Kabaciński 2010; Czekaj-Zastawny and Kabaciński 2015).* *There is now a sufficient body of evidence from modern studies of skeletal remains to indicate that the ancient Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians, exhibited physical characteristics that are within the range of variation for ancient and modern indigenous peoples of the Sahara and tropical Africa.* *In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas* [...] Any interpretation of the biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians must be placed in the context of hypothesis informed by the archaeological, linguistic, geographic or other data. *In this context the physical anthropological evidence indicates that the early Nile Valley populations can be identified as part of an African lineage, but exhibiting local variation.* This variation represents the short and long term effects of evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection influenced by culture and geography" (Kathryn A. Bard, Egyptians, physical anthropology of Physical anthropology (2015)) “The process of the peopling of the Nile Valley likely shaped the population structure and early biological similarity of Egyptians and Nubians. As others have noted, affinity among Nilotic populations was due to an aggregation of events, including environmental, linguistic, and sociopolitical changes over a great deal of time. This study seeks to *evaluate the relationships of Nubian and Egyptian groups in the context of the original peopling event.* Cranial nonmetric traits from 18 Nubian and Egyptian samples, *spanning Lower Egypt to Lower Nubia and approximately 7400 years,* were analyzed using Mahalanobis D2 as a measure of biological distance. A principal coordinates analysis and spatial-temporal model were applied to these data. The results reveal temporal and spatial patterning *consistent with documented events in Egyptian and Nubian population history. Moreover, the Mesolithic Nubian sample clustered with later Nubian and Egyptian samples,* indicating that events prior to *the Mesolithic were important in shaping the later genetic patterning of the Nubian population.* Later contact through the establishment of the Egyptian fort at Buhen, Kerma’s position as a strategic trade center along the Nile, and Egyptian colonization at Tombos *maintained genetic similarity among the populations”* (Godde K, A new analysis interpreting Nilotic relationships and peopling of the Nile Valley (July 2018)) “Post-Pleistocene climatic improvement in the Northern Hemisphere after ca. 9550 BC allowed human populations to recolonize large parts of North Africa in what is today the Sahara Desert. In the Egyptian Western Desert, the beginnings of human occupation date as early as ca. 9300 BC. Occupation continued until the middle of the third millennium BC when final desertification of the area no longer afforded human occupation. The settlement of the Neolithic cattle and sheep/goat herders developed along with the rhythm of alternating wet and dry climatic oscillations. One of the areas occupied intensively during the early and middle Holocene was Gebel Ramlah. Pastoral populations established their settlements around the shores of a paleo-lake adjacent to a rocky massif, to exploit the local savannah environment. During most of the Neolithic, they buried their dead dispersed outside of their settlements. Only during the Final Neolithic (after ca. 4600 BC) did they place them exclusively in cemeteries. Of six Final Neolithic cemeteries investigated at Gebel Ramlah to date, one is entirely unprecedented, not only in North Africa but also globally at such an early date. For just under 200 years (ca. 4500-4300 BC), it served exclusively for the inhumation of infants who died around (perinate) or shortly after the time of birth (neonate). Thirty-two burial pits contained skeletal remains of 39 individuals, not only infants but also at least two adult females accompanied by perinates/neonates. Older children (> 3 years) were interred at a nearby cemetery that primarily comprised adults. […] The area around Gebel Ramlah was settled since the beginning of the Early Neolithic, and the density of settlement reached its maximum during the El Jerar phase (climatic optimum of the Holocene). Traces from the Middle, Late, and Final Neolithic are less intensive and random. In fact, for the Final Neolithic, we have more information on mortuary behavior than for the settlement pattern and subsistence. Between 4500 and 4300 BC, south-western fringes of the Gebel Ramlah lake served as an extended burial ground for different populations. Different ancestry and relationships of these populations can be followed on the basis of archaeological and, partially, bioarchaeological arguments. “These people were certainly mobile, perhaps spending only a few months per year at Gebel Ramlah. The E-09-02 cemeteries for neonates and adults belonged to another, more sedentary group with limited mobility; however, we cannot trace their origins based on the available record. An almost complete lack of grave goods does not allow comparative analyses. On the other hand, peculiar characters of the skeletal remains at these cemeteries-numerous neonatal/perinatal individuals and poorly preserved subadults/adults-do not allow reliable studies based on craniometric or dental data. But, qualitatively, there are no obvious differences among all populations from Gebel Ramlah at the beginning of the Final Neolithic. Thus, the two groups, culturally different, were likely not much different biologically, possibly deriving from the same region of Africa. […] Ethnographic data offer support by showing how radically different children are treated in various African societies (Gottlieb 2004a, b; Pawlik 2004; Kabaciński et al. (2018)).” (Agnieszka Czekaj-Zastawny & Tomasz Goslar & Joel D. Irish & Jacek Kabaciński, Gebel Ramlah-a Unique Newborns’ Cemetery of the Neolithic Sahara,African Archaeological Review volume 35, pages393-405(2018))

Clean and tidy wearing formal office wear right and not a piercing in sight?

Nefertiti and Nefertari were examples of Black queens, and that was actually the norm until invasions from Asia. Also, Sheikh Anta Diop is a scholar that found they were Black in ancient times. Additionally, the Afrocentrists say that these modern day Egyptians are invaders, but in reality, the average Egyptian has 67 percent original Egyptian DNA, though they are paler in color, so they are both originals and invaders or settlers mixed, mostly original, but they don't call themselves Black as they aren't usually that dark. So, before you start with that bs about how we have no history in your country, check yourselves. Man, you Egyptians really have a problem with having any relation to black people. We African Americans don't give a rat's behind about Jada-Pinkett-Shakur who cheats on her husband and then gets her history wrong, but we are sick and tired of the Egyptian attitude regarding race and colour, though. We can look down on Jada and still check you all about your preference for white over Black, when the fact is Black people never did anything to Egypt and the british colonized you and left the nation in ruins.

Greetings from Athens. Greek people support 100% what you've said.

Black people are the original home people to all of Africa’s parts and predate all humans scientifically. So no, we were a part of Egyptian civilization and you’re in fact later settlers on that land (plenty of ppl have come and conquer and intermixed in Egypt over time) and minimizing us. Even the statues and art resemble African features and skin tones of brown.. so the evidence is also visual

I'm an Egyptian American as well. I'm 44 but only been to Egypt twice on vacation. I'm not an Egyptian Copt, as all my family is/was muslim as far as I know. Personally I don't do religion at all.. Anyway, recently I did a DNA test (23 and me) and to my surprise I found out that I'm 88% Egyptian Copt. The idea that Egyptians are now Arab invaders is utter disproven pseudoscience nonsense steaming from afrocentrism. Arabs invaded Egypt with 11 thousand soldiers, and the population of Egypt at the time was at least 15 times the entire Arabian peninsula combined. The idea that these invaders changed the demographics of Egypt which was one of the most if not the most populous countries in the area is comical. ALL modern DNA studies show that the overwhelmingly majority of Egyptians kept their hemomgeny. Arabs who reside in Egypt are mostly Bedieuns who kept to their own for the most part since being tribal is their thing. This is one of the biggest and latest studies carried out by National Geographic Geno 2.0 Next Gen findings: Modern Day Egyptians "Northern African (68% of the Egyptian genetic pool), Southwest Asia & Persian Gulf (17%), Jewish Diaspora (4%), Asia Minor (3%), East Africa (3%), Southern Europe (3%).

One of the top movies every Easter and considered a movie classic but no outrage. Is it hypocritical, racist, selective outrage? So many words come to mind.

@@moshe4787you’re racist towards Egyptians and it’s not a good look. More fake outrage🙄

@@moshe4787 In a fiction everyone does what he wants! This is a documentary here. Watch this historical film where the French king louis 15 is played by an American and his favorite by a North African Maiwen. It's a fiction and no one claims that the Louis 15 was American and Madame du Barry an Algerian! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNaplpyHkruuk30.html

@@EutNehbethawetRuSat I can’t blame you, it’s cultural appropriation and historically inaccurate.

Another words, do what we say, don’t learn to read or question anything, that sounds right out of the f3minism indoctrination handbook lol

so grandma was racist as well, cuz all she cared was skin color.

That was weak 🗑️ little girl Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization not Egyptian civilization period 💯 Ancient Egypt was pure African people not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 💯

That demand research and that is to much work...

Or it’s own black Queen who went into combat against the Romans (at exactly the same time).

I totally agree with this although I think some of this backlash is rooted in anti blackness. Fun fact: The Egyptian Minister of Antiquities goes out of his way to deny the existence of black ancient Egyptians and made sure than NONE of the Nubian pharoahs are represented in the Cairo museum....

@@allangibson8494 Don't, dude. Last thing we need is a documentary where Boudica was portrayed by a black actress. I mean, some spinless pricks already allowed a show with a black girl playing Anne fucking Boleyne to air.

Ironically, she is clearly using a Kopis, a Greek weapon. Which is another case of historical inaccuracy, at this point the Egyptian military was Roman controlled and Roman in structure and training, and supplied with standard Roman kit, meaning aside from the fact that Cleopatra would never have been trained to use a sword, she would most certainly not have been using a Kopis, she would of been using a Gladius or possibly a Spatha.

MOST EGYPITIANS ARE DECENDANTS OF TUTANKHAMUN. NUBIAN MIXED. ARABS LATER MIXED WITH MANY EGYPTIANS. EARLY EGYTPTIAN PHAROHS WERE NUBIAN AND ARAB MIXED PHAROHS. AT THE FALL OF EGYPT, THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER, GREEKS MIXED WITH SOME EGYPTIANS SO DID ROMANS WHEN THEY TOOK OVER. CLEAOPATRA WAS LIGHTER SKINED BORN IN EGYPT , AFRICA. MAKES HER AFRICAN. THE BLACK NAME OR WHITE NAME CALLING STARTED IN 20TH CENTURY. STOP THE LIES. ALL THE RACIST AGAINST DARK SKINNED PEOPLE HAVE CAME OUT IN DROVES GOOD FOR NETFLIX TO EXPOSE THEM. EVEN IN EGYPT THE NUBIAN AND LIGHTER SKINED EGYPTIANS ARE MAD AT THEIR LEADERS FOR TRYING TO WHITEWASH THEIR EGYPTIAN PAST TO PLEASE EUROPEANS. CHANGE IS NOW HAPPEING, THANK YOU NETFLIX EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WRONG, CLEAOPATRA WAS LIGHTER SKINNED MIXED GREEK WHEN GREEK TOOK OVER LATER ROMANS TOO OVER. SHE IS STILL EGYPTIAN AFRICAN.

If they really wanted to show her off as being a badass, show her off as a naval commander, which she actually seemed to have had a knack for. She even sailed her fleet to aid Octavian and Mark Anthony in the battle of Philippi, but was hindered by a storm and arrived too late to be of use. You can have your feminist power cake AND eat it too, by giving her an actual male dominated job and performing well in it. But instead they went for the swordfighting...

@@the_tactician9858 no they could not show brain muscles ,too trasgressive

Maybe we should ask that lady's grandmother about that one. She seems like a good source.

If all they did was cast a black actor as a badass warrior queen who was in reality not a warrior queen, with it abusing history, it would have been a modern equivalent of Troy. Horrible in accuracy to source material, but people would still watch it because it's badass.

I agree. Elizabeth looks more Greek than Adele.

She doesn't look like Cleopatra, but they chose a famously beautiful, sexual woman, which makes sense. I think most of the issues with Taylor's Cleopatra was the story itself, not the casting. And some people have brought up John Wayne as Ghengis Khan ... but that was ridiculed in the 1950s, and that movie bombed because it was stupid casting.

And Elizabeth Taylor's "Cleopatra" was banned in Egypt. They don't care who plays the role..black or white. They want PROPER representation. That's FAIR .

@@elladeon Exactly. I think she could have pulled off playing the role of Cleopatra in a more or less historically accurate drama, or even a complete work of fantasy about Cleopatra. The issue isn't casting a black woman to play her, it's subsequently claiming that Cleopatra was black in order to justify their casting choice.

The only bad thing about this documentary is that they're claiming Cleopatra was historically Black. If they'd acknowledged that she was historically Greek or Macedonian while still casting a Black actress just because they thought the Black actress had the talent to portray her, y'all would still be angry because you simply prefer to see a white face over a Black face. It's just that simple. Elizabeth Taylor is neither Greek nor Macedonian, so it's just about looks to y'all and what's more visually appealing. If you'd taken issue with the actual historical revisionism being passed off as fact in this documentary instead of just the visuals, I would have more respect for that.

Good points. I also think it's somewhat racist to assume that everyone in Africa is black... that's definitely not the case for Northern Africa. Africa is a diverse continent with many different cultures.

Shut up and stolen being a uncle Ruckus. History lesson time, when Alexander the great conquered new land, he was very keen on his soldiers marrying the local women. I don't know who ptolemy 1st wife was but I do know that for the first 77 years of the ptolemic dynasty, they never practiced incest.

good point ,thank you for sharing these .

Imagine my confusion when i read the book ”Barracoon” before seeing the movie ”The Woman King”. It was a bit perplexing. Interesting book though.

I agree Cleopatra was a Macedonian and the Egyptians were a Hamitic people so what better person to play a Hamitic, Egyptian Pharaoh is a Black woman they just chose the wrong queen

I'd pay to see that!

Real point is why do people associate Dr.king, with the excellence of Africa. As if African history began in the 1600s.

@@paulmahsahn1766 Yeah, that's not the point at all. I chose him because he was a beloved prominent black historical figure that nearly anyone who read my comment would know. The people asking what's wrong with switching the race of a person for a documentary are also black. I basically put them in the position of the Egyptian people to answer that ridiculous question for themselves. Not sure why this needs explaining... Also, it's important to note that Africa is a continent, not a nation. We're talking specifically of Egyptian history here and changing the ethnicity of a well documented historical figure from that nation. Egyptian history; not Nigerian, Ethiopian, or Rwandan -- but Egyptian. I hope that clears that up. I guess for commenters like yourself I should of swapped Dr.King with Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington, Henry V, or Rosa Parks, would that have made more sense to you?

​@@paulmahsahn1766Especially considering that each country in Africa is very diverse with their own cultures and history. Ethiopia is one of the oldest countries in the world and they didn't think to draw from their history?

@@mish375 just as powerful as Egypt was. And Ethiopia gave birth to Egypt.

Why would someone even say that, lol😂

It gets even better, she´s an actual professor that teaches "African studies" at college!

Egyptian not black ancient Egypt not black and not African

I remember that article and still think was stupid as f. Italy cheered for you guys, I surely did! 🎉 Viva i campioni 🎉

Argentina also has Maria Resendo Del Valle Black Argentine woman Independence. war army officer ?!.

@Angela Maddalena grazie! I have Italian citizenship (in my father's side they are all Italians, came here to escape Mussolini) and I visited Milano 10 years ago. Beautiful city and beautiful people 🇮🇹🇦🇷

@Tyman Ung doesn't ring a bell to be honest. Couldn't find it on Google either.

The vast majority of Americans aren't into the PC bullshit being pushed by the media and politicians. This is NOT a racist country like those lying assholes want everyone to believe.

Actually that old lady is a classicist which means she in meant to be an expert on the world of ancient Rome and Greece.

@@mattm8870 No, she's not. She teaches ''African studies'' and I doubt that she has any knowledge of Sub-Saharan history either.

Even the term "African studies" is kind of offensive. By woke logic, all Mexicans should be white/Caucasians. After all, Mexico is in North America, and North America is pretty much all white people, right? That's how it works, isn't it?

"African Studies" in universities is probably filled with so much nonsense. A lot of it is most likely just trying to push a narrative that isn't true.

I think things have gotten out of hand an America and I'm an American this is absolutely ridiculous with what has happened and I'm so sorry that this happened I hope Egypt wins the case against Netflix.

See this is what I hate. People unable to criticise black people without being racist. Grow tf up.

How is it racist? Twerking was/is very much involved in your african american culture. Wakanda aswel. So stop thinking african americans are united with all blacks, cause you are different than the beautiful people in africa. You have insecurity issues which we all understand looking back at your history. However, there are lines for everybody. Also for you. And dont tell me you aint american cause only you will react like this to this post

@Scrangle Mcjangle I'm so sad to not have the approval of Scrangle Mcjangle.

Yeaaa you took it a little too far there… I agree the show is ridiculous and history shouldn’t be tainted, but this comment is pretty embarrassing. It’s possible to criticize without being racist my friend

​@@vikvondoom they're not being racist, the references were all American culture not the Black race, there are black people outside of America.

A movie or show about 'Mansa Musa' would have been awesome

I honestly think Hollywood is afraid to make shows and movies about _actually_ black historical figures because an accurate portrayal of their times would show that Sub-Saharan Africa wasn't some idyllic paradise that was ruined by white devils. Almost every powerful person in the past regardless of where they lived behaved poorly by modern standards.

Let them try to do one our warrior/freedom fighter Queen Lakshmibai of Jhansi and show the truth of British Raj's torture and plunder. I DARE Netflix to try and make THAT docu.

Theres also wu zetian if we want to talk about female empresses

if you want to stay in the same time period and even want to cast the white romans as the villains (which they weren't really) then you just have to go a couple hundred miles up river from Alexandria to reach nubia where you would have perfectly fine black female leaders that you could make documenteries about, like amanitore.

I'm a redhead myself and I am all for pointing out historic redheads, but do you realize they wore wigs back then? So it could have been a wig as far as we know.

@@englishatheart Yeah, and I also said it wasn't solid, just more solid than their reasoning for black washing Cleopatra

why is it always the redheads that blackwashed? why is it never blonde or dark hair fairskins?

@@BlazingKhioneus I guess they just have a hate Boner for gingers

@@englishatheart The Egyptians also used hair dye, I believe they were the first to do so.

It stops running for me a few minutes in.

This is the goal of the globalists, divide and conquer, they want everyone to hate each other

Agreed. I watched The Patriot recently and the cheesy subplot about the slave and the racist white guy becoming best buddies was almost unbearable. They really have spoiled race relations in this country, possibly beyond repair.
