So you are arguing with Dr. .Shelley Haley's old grandmother? Who is probably long dead by now. NO ONE in the documentary claims that Cleopatra was black

I SWEAR SHE WAS BLACK WHY NONE BELIVES ME okay gramma lets give you some of these shiny pills today okay we love you

Everyone except certain black nationalists knows she is not black.

No you got that wrong. She is of greek macedonian descent and was a full egytian. Even thought the royal families in egypt and other dynasty over the world liked incest to keep the bloodline pure, they still married outsiders. Cleopatra was mixed by all means and only had greek blood primary but was by no means greek or black black. She had however a quite striking mediteranian face from what we know. By all means she looked more greek than african, but she was and stays by all means egytian

"And there were Jews there! Oy Vey!"

@@Volmest Uh sorry to disprove you, but (in my Maury voice) THAT WAS A LIE, her family practiced incest a lot, they married brothers and sisters (Cleopatra herself was married to her brother so that custom wasn't over when she was alive). They most likely did indulge with outsiders, but the incest was so frequent the missing info on her genealogy (her mother and grandmother) are generally assumed to be family members as well, not outsiders. With that said, it is possible her mother wasn't a Ptolemaic, but Cleopatra herself was a White woman, if she looked any different than her family members, Roman historians (who already didn't like her) would have mentioned it, her legitimacy would have been questioned as well so you would expect Roman historians calling her a bastard and other common insults of the time. I agree with you on the mediterranean look, she most likely looked mediterranean, but her depictions do align with other depictions of greek macedonians such as Alexander the Great with big pronounced "roman" noses and big eyes.

Yeah I think people are just fed up with this revisionist crap.

Ieschoua (Jesus) was Aramean, true. Its the Borgias that decided to make him white, by the way. Pope Rodrigo Borgia, aka Alexander.

The thing we need to remember is this was them putting their best foot forward - trying to make that first impression that would hook an audience. If they made such a mess out of Cleopatra’s story, what do t out think they had in store for the less known women in the subsequent episodes? I suspect the full “Woman King” treatment of blatant lies and propaganda was on the way.

This is not surprising on Netflix quite honestly. All og their "adaptations" are bad derivatives of an established IP and historical history is not safe.

The curly haired commentator guy is actually Egyptian. However he told later he was never told they were making her black or was going to make the docu like this. So they pretty much scammed him.

The fact that after that scandalous slap both Jada and Will were treated like heroes, means they are part of that political party selling their propaganda! That's why nothing happened to them because they are political activists now protected by the politicians!

So you are arguing with Dr. Shelley Haley's GRANDMOTHER, who would be very old and probably died a long time ago. NO ONE in the docudrama says Cleopatra was black, far from it. You should watch and not listen to those who have also not watched it.

@@patdaley9098 its a documentary so even stating that in a documentary would be wrong. and there is a reason why the whole of Egypt, and Egyptologists from Egypt are against it cause its a extremely poor representation of cleopatra, at least get an actress that's Macedonian or greek. cause there is nothing to indicate that she was black. if u state this series as a documentary then it would be wise to have accurate statements and accurate actors for right roles if its about history. I would not pick a Chinese actor to play LeBron James. if it was a fantasy show then it would be something else. there is a reason why egyptologists with PHDS are speaking up, its sad to see people who are not educated at all on this subject speak up more than those who are.

Nice, but irrelevant. Nobody is relying on Dr. Shelley Haley's grandmother for information. But a surprising number of people do think that Cleopatra was black. Many of Dr. Halley's students told her that, and Dr. Wawass has found the same thing when he gave speeches in the US. Things like the Netflix docudrama would show them otherwise.

There was a Nubian (black) Dynasty that emerged from the Kush Empire & conquered Egypt. The 25th Dynasty. It lasted for 99 years. The material was there and no Egyptian or Greek would say a word about it in protest. But there’s no boss chick Kweenz in it. And it faced a foreign invasion from the Assyrian Empire. So if they applied the same resources to that it might have not sucked as much. Oh well that’s Jada P. smith trynna cuck Egypt.

I would watch this. Why doesn't Netflix use these ideas?

They did not show Cleopatra fighting with swords. They showed her training with a sword while she was in Syria. She did sometimes go out with the soldiers into battle notably at the Battle of Actium. You didn't watch the docudrama so just make things up about it--in common with many of the critics. Do you remember John Wayne playing Genghis Khan?

​@@patdaley9098 she went there not to personally fight

She’s actually going to defeat Kang in season 2… well… Rama-Tut lol

@@patdaley9098 nope Sorry you are wrong. Cleopatra never trained it would have been degradation for a true Egyptian queen. Egyptians could not respect a ruler doing this. And never went in battle. She was a strategist as far as possible from the battle field. In this show she behaes all the time like a US girlbossy when pretending to be class. It may be fun, but it's not "docu"

It's not only her skin colour it's the absolute trashing of the history. I'm not surprised the Egyptians and Greeks are totally up in arms over this.The trailer was enough I won't be watching it.

No my grandmother said he was Indian and mexican just playing you guys are too funny and y'all right that show is not accurate

Ben Affleck will star as Ali in the next movie about his life

true, Cleopatra's sister became the ruler of Egypt after staging a coup. She drove her father and Cleopatra out of Egypt....which resulted in her father getting help from the romans to reclaim his throne, which lead to them owing the Romans a lot.

I love how people think its that simple. If you're leader is a man, its a patriarchy, if its a woman then its a matriarchy. Its more complicated than that, take America for instance. We have a man president but we have a matriarchal society, thats why things are falling apart, but thats another topic.

I'm black of mixed West Indian heritage, our ancestors came from West Africa, we have a rich history there. I have zero interest and need for Cleopatra to be black.

Of course they would take maybe the most influential person in Roman history (If it was not his uncle or Constantine) and turning him into a member of the Klan seems pretty par for the course.

But she did go into battle though, notably with her ships at Actium. See what nonsense you come up with when you don't bother to watch the docudrama you want to criticize.

You nailed it very well said

@@patdaley9098 Oh, its you again:) Are you stalking me? I have studied history for over 40 years so I don't need to watch this soap opera to know its wrong, the trailer and everything its actors, producers and showrunner has said tell me that. As for the Battle of Actium, Cleopatra's barge was at the back of the battle and didn't take part in the actual fighting. Unlike Anthony who was in the thick of it. Anthony's Generals didn't trust the Egyptian soldiers or Cleopatra, thinking she was out for herself and cared nothing for Rome. They argued that if Cleopatra went home then the desertions Anthony's army was suffering would end. Cleopatra argued that Anthony should fight at sea as at the time he had more ships than Octavius, even though the Roman army fought better on land. To make both parties happy Anthony ordered Cleopatra to go home, but also decided to fight at sea. The issue was by the time the battle began he didn't have enough men left to man all of his ships and so he started the battle outnumbered by Octavian. As the day continued and the battle went on Cleopatra's ships managed to break free and began heading south to Egypt. However Cleopatra herself never took part in the fight, the battle was never close to her royal barge.

@@patdaley9098 lol buddy disproved your nonsense hard

At that time women did not fight because for bladed weapons they were too weak compared to men. Cleopatra fighting is grotesque worthy of Jada!

ditto. and dad too. you suffered for us on this one.

But she says she didn't really watch it.

Why, she is a Kween 🤪

She didn't want people to tell her that what she was doing is inaccurate. She probably did ask them at first, was told, "Are you stupid? We keep telling you, she was Macedonian, and/or Greek." And she would not phucking have it.

Me being a black woman agree people need to research history before making movies especially about historical figures

She knew. Will Smith and his fam went to Egypt few years ago to take a tour with the pyramids. That is why some Egyptians felt Will betrayed them with this show. Sad that he got blamed when Jada did all this.

Why do that when you have academics telling you exactly what you want to hear back at home? (less money to do so as well) :/

- Yeah, they show her having her brother and sister killed, but the series somehow still manages to make her look like a 100% positive character by suddenly changing tone and being very nonchalant about it. - Yes, they show her marrying her brother and it's super-ridiculous: they are both clearly disturbed by it, but she's the ballsy one and essentially takes charge over the ceremony while her whiny brother is about to cry and piss himself. It's very stupid as it shows the whole thing through the lens of 21st century Western morals: for those people, it was pretty normal to marry their siblings. They were told from infancy that they were demigods and that's what demigods did. In the show, you can tell that Cleopatra isn't really wild about it either but she goes through with it because she's the boss and she's going to do whatever it takes to fulfill her destiny or some crap like that. I was almost expecting her to shout "Yeah, this is barbaric and you people are sick, but, whatever, let's get this done". - Yeah, Caesarion is shown along with the two children Cleopatra had with Mark Anthony. - No, her being a polyglot is not exactly in the show. Every character speaks English and nobody ever compliments her about how well she masters different languages. It is kind of implied in a few scenes that she knows more than one tongue, but it's not a real plot point. They don't even dwell on what language she actually spoke with Caesar and Mark Anthony (most people believe they were communicating in Greek, given they were all educated persons, but the series as a whole is like some cheap fantasy show were everyone automatically understands everyone else). - No, the coins, the portraits, and the statues are never discussed and it's pretty evident why: they'd disrupt the "Cleopatra was black!" thesis and no academic in his\her right mind would dare to disprove historical artifacts such as Cleopatra's marble bust on display in Berlin. Only people who know nothing about history and have no respect for it, like Jada Pinkett Smith, could do such a thing. But she's a semi-failed Hollywood actress, not exactly Phd material. In defense of some of the actual historians (or soon-to-be historians) interviewed in the documentary, I think their interviews were heavily edited and only the bits that fit into the narration were picked. I also reckon the questions were carefully-worded in order to get an answer that could be flipped in the editing process, kind of like what happens to Kyle in the South Park episode "A History Channel Thanksgiving" where he's shown to sustain the thesis that aliens visited the pilgrims on the first Thanksgiving Day while he was actually saying it was all bullshit. That doesn't apply to the elderly black lady talking about her grandma: she's a known black feminist with an agenda. - The Egyptian paintings displaying the different people inhabiting North Africa and their varied skin tones are not show\discussed either: again, they would work against the "Cleopatra was black and the Arabs and the white devils took her from us!" thesis, and so they were left out. So much for an historical documentary.

Uhhh . . . you obviously did not watch the docudrama. They dealt with with all those things. They certainly did not "whitewash" Cleopatra. Yes, her sister and brother had to die, just as they tried to kill her. The Ptolemy's were like that and you should not apply modern moral standards to them and her. Yes they showed statues and coins, and they simply do not all look the same. Yes, they made a great deal of her education and intelligence and her fluency in different languages, including Egyptian. No, t hey did not depict her in sword fights, but they did show her practicing sword fighting with a Syrian trainer. As for battles, she did participate in some battles. It's actually quite a good and informative documentary covering Cleopatra's life and times, despite what a bunch of people say who only saw the trailer or read what people who only saw the trailer said. If you watch the docudrama, you would know the answers to the questions you asked. I suggest you do so.

@@patdaley9098 Cleopatra never fought in any battle and never trained in sword fighting. She had her soldiers fighting for her. The sword training is pure modern-day fantasy to depict her like Rey from the new Star Wars movies or Wonder Woman, as if a woman (or any person, really) actually needs to be able to use a weapon to be strong. Napoleon wasn't known for his fighting skills and yet he is one of the finest military men in history, as he was a brilliant strategist. Cleopatra was a politician, a diplomat, and a schemer (that takes talent too): sword fighting was actually below her.

They put modern bs in ALL and invented a Mrs Smith alter ego as Cleopatra . Crap. Cringe. Funny if you look for fiction , disaster if you hope the label "docu". Skin tone isn't the worst thing. Just mind that Ann Boylen race swips but it's more accurate.

Passionate romance? I see what you did there. You mean passionate orgies n depraved sex parties

@Best of MediaCleopatra was descended from Ptolemy who was a general under Alexander the Great. When Alexander died without an heir, his generals divided up his empire. Ptolemy seized Egypt, and adopted the Egyptian religion, and established the beginning of the greatest library in the ancient world He even stole Alexander's body fr it's transport back to Macedonia and brought to Egypt. He had Alexander buried in Egypt as a political move. The Egyptian oracle had declared Alexander to be a god when he conquered Egypt. Ptolemy used Alexander's body to legitimize his dynasty and to give himself and his descendants the divine status of pharaohs. He established a dynasty that ruled Egypt for hundreds of years. The Ptolemy's ruled Egypt as Greeks although they followed the Egyptian religious practices and claimed to be pharaohs. Out of the hundreds of years ruling Egypt by the dynasty, only Cleopatra learned the Egyptian language. She spoke seven languages, but interestingly she did not speak Latin although she became romantically involved with two of the greatest Romans of the time. Cleopatra was not a warrior, but she was involved with leading military endeavors. She led rebel forces against her brother when he and his supporters deposed her as his co-ruler and replaced her with her sister. When Cleopatra was able to establish a relationship with Julius Caesar, he helped her to reestablish her rulership of Egypt. She also bore Caesar's only son. Caesar was in his fifties As Queen, she planned military expeditions against the raiders of important trade routes. She made Egypt the richest kingdom at that time. Years later after Caesar's death, she became involved with Marc Antony. She provided him with the Egyptian fleet at the Battle of Actium. She was also present, at the battle although Antony led the military force. Their defeat at this battle led to their deaths. It is doubtful that the Netflix series documented Cleopatra marrying two of her younger brothers as dictated by Egyptian religious practices. Nor would Netflix show Cleopatra following another custom of her family, that of murdering rival siblings.,

​@BOM_NLDShe blew 7 guys who each spoke a different language is more accurate.

@Best of Media You seem more interested in disproving a feminist version of history than the facts. I do not agree with the feminists revision of history. And if you read my comment before, I stated that she was not a warrior. She was s ruler who sent her military and navy to do her bidding. Anything you want to go find out about her is available. Be sure to check your sources. So-,called modern scholars try to rewrite history with ridiculous claims. Cleopatra was not black. She was Greek. She was the product of generations of incest. She was not a warrior. She was a capable and ambitious ruler. She was not a great beauty, but she was highly intelligent and educated. Cleopatra murdered a younger sister and brother to secure her throne. Cleopatra has been a source of fascination for thousands years. She doesn't need any fake build up. There are many myths about her such she was a great beauty able to seduce men to their doom. Rather she was a good politician who attracted and was attracted to men of great ambition.
