Alone just the inbreeding 🙈 Cleopatra was to marry her BROTHER?!

They had greek blood...

Ancient and modern Egyptians aren't exactly the same people. Ancient Egyptians share more DNA with Mediterranean Europeans and the Near East (the Levant: Jordan, Syria, Israel etc) and modern Egyptians share more African DNA than ancient Egyptians did

Egypt hasn’t had a truly Egyptian pharaoh since before 525 BC when the Persians conquered Egypt. Cleopatra descended from Greeks from the time that Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332bc

The Egyptian monarchy was around until 1925

But some were worse than others and wiser rulers always knew not to kill unnecessarily; it made ruling harder in the long run.

@@jaymesguy239 obviously today it would be considered unnecessary, but back then I would think it would depend on who you spoke to. Eliminating opposition and using men for political gains and to strengthen her empire, doesn't seem any different than what most male and female rulers did.

Agree. This feels weird to me.

Or any time, including today

U kno!!!

This is sexism. You can see it with many women who were in power. Of course, they were ruthless and cruel and I don't want to downplay this BUT their male counterparts were just the same. They also killed many, killed family members etc. to ensure their power. The only female emperor of China Wu Zetian is the same. Has a reputation of being ruthless while ignoring that many of China's emperors were just like that. Just because it is a woman it gets way more emphasized

Exactly

I agree. These titles irk me. Every monarch in this time period had people killed

It was called " Job Security " back then ! Tigers eat their young ? Don't wait for daddy tiger to pick up your brother ! Drag his sorry ass over to that big snake ? Waiting for your brother to be thrown off the cliff by the Spartan Priest ? Screw that , bash his head in with a rock and blame it on a Helot ! The fact she did this at 13 years old and knew what tools she would need , in her world as a women , to grab and maintain power , is a testament to those who taught her . Nine different tongues she spoke , but knew how to use her tongue , for her advantage , in a way Vercingetorix could or would not ! She would fit in with the Female English Throne Club ? If they were not cutting heads off , they were burying children in the walls of the Tower ! Way back , Thailand had a real zinger for while , she killed everyone !

I think is the other way around. Cleopatra was a traitor to their people

I see...this is my first time👍

I love the sound of his soothing voice and Scottish accent👍🤭💕

Nah

@@diegodecastaller8820 lol lol lol i am

You are my queen

@@shirlainewilliams152 you're a old soul girl and that's different and amazing but if you want to think that you were a princes... Ok

I believe I was Viking

* a lot (always 2 words) 🥰✌🌻🦋

No no of the ptolomeys or even marc anthony's tomb has never been found

There are roman busts and Egyptian carvings of her, and yes your right, she is very plain and had a big nose just like they said here, the thumbnail is very close

That’s correct . There is evidence showing she was no beauty . She was very ordinary looking . But people are fascinated with the idea of her being extraordinarily beautiful because it sells a good narrative.

@@alvydar2192 Not just bec it makes a good narrative. Her being beautiful is a way for people to understand how she was able to be involved with powerful men like Cesar and Marc Anthony. A plain looking women makes it less believable

Suppose beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. If you are seduced by someone, somehow you find that person beautiful. Also beauty has its own standards in different times. And different places.

Sapiosexuality is why Cleopatra was irresistible.

There are Roman carvings of her, and it was not her looks, she was plain, but used her youth as ceasar was 50s she was so young, and she had a personality and manipulative so that's where the attraction came from. She was known to have the same nose as her sister and they were large but for the time and place was considered good looking, that is not today's standards

Spare me 🙄Cant you just enjoy the video?!

Stfu

Her ancestors are Greek... Ptolemaic

There is an ancient depiction of her that makes her look quite ugly, at least to modern standards.

@@kathleennorton6108 The coin from her time is that way. Homely with a large pointed. sharp nose.

@@MorningGlory62 Maybe she was jealous of her sister, if her sister was actually good looking.

@@MorningGlory62 I put a link to the coin, but it is eraced. She certainly doesn't look African on the coin.

How would you or anyone know if she had any Egyptian blood or not? There's no written record of her ancestry found as of today. And records about her life were written hundreds of years after her death. So to say in a definitive manner that she had zero Egyptian blood is your opinion, not a fact. As long as her family was in Egypt there is more of a chance that she did have some mixture of ancestry, than there is that she didn't.

The Oedipal Complex is lethal when played out politically, and Sibling Rivalry is often the most toxic syndrome of all.

@@jaymesguy239 my sister can best be described as not as smart as me and not as pretty. You may now add Q.E.D. to the end of your statement.

My 6 years younger sister, who looks just like me, also pursued a close friend (Kind of a boyfriend, we dated off and on in high school and college) we had been sort of an item for over 10 years. I moved to germany for a few years, in that time my sister looked him up. Hung out with him and his rommates (high school buddies) at his house. One night, shortly after arriving, she disappeared. He found her, in his bed, naked. What happened after that I'll never know for sure. He told me nothing.... but, who knows. My sister called me the next day (she didn't know my friend had told me what she did) and said "wouldn't it be funny if he was your brother-in-law one of these days?" ....what a @#$% We are no longer in contact. Not because of him - but because everything is a competition to her with me. She can't just be a sister or a friend.

My sister pimped out my younger sister and I to adult men when we were children. I was seven. She belongs in prison.

I haven’t said it publicly before. But now it’s out there.

I agree with you

Ha!

Even though assasins creed is fiction origins really made me more interested about the old kingom of egypt i really have done a lot of research

Interesting and enjoyable

Had to have...sounds exactly the same.

Oh, for sure!!!

Its pretty obvious you don't have a opened mind an don't have much culture

@William Cotton Like I said you don't have a opened mind, you do realize when I said resemble it doesn't mean literal, I guess I gotta tell you the definition of resemble cause you don't know (have qualities or features, especially those of appearance, in common, or seem like) you do also realize in Egypt they still speak the Ancient Coptic language that there ancestors spoke, although Egyptian culture today is predominantly Arab and Arabic launguage is spoken in Egypt also, genetics as well as cultural identity show that modern Egyptians are descendents of Ancient Egyptians, that's a few reasons why I said resemble, an of course every country has mixed races with others, but they still resemble either a lot or a little with there ancestors, I guess to people that aren't so judgmental like you would understand, an you wanna talk about Brazil ok I could do that, in Brazil there is over 300 Native tribes that still live the Amazon like the Tikuna tribe for example that still live there native ways an speak there indigenous language like there Ancestors, tribes in just Brazil cover 690 territories, they resemble there ancestors, also in South Africa there's still the Bantu Natives that still live there an speak their native language an they resemble their ancestors, also in Australia there's the Native Aboriginals that still live in Australia, they still speak their native language an resemble there ancestors, you should read more an stop pointing the finger so much maybe you could learn to be more opened minded.

@William Cotton I said Resemble not literal dang even when I specifically explain it to you an give you the definition of resemble you still don't understand my goodness you really are something else, anyways I like to interact with people that are down to Earth an not so insecure like you so go take your judgemental personality somewhere else im out.

Oh plz, other male rulers were killers too. You have to know whole story.

​@@percyweasley9301 Corruption runs everywhere almost a recurring theme in humanity

Good point.

Carbon dating can’t be that accurate at least not down to a 4 year difference, they prolly just underestimated her age because she’s so small

@@joshblahh2423 carbon dating doesn't tell you the age of the person. They were using skeletal markers which don't rely on size. Certain bones fuse at certain ages and the younger the body the more accurate the result.

could you please give the names of the documentaries? 🙏🏻

@@anekrutova6735 search the tittle Scientific proof that ancient Egyptians was Black Mystery of the Black Mummy by Truth History.

Duh?

Well incest was a big thing for royals back then

Beauty has changed over time. What was considered beautiful than is ugly now etc.

@@CountesssBathory - she was hooked nosed and plain...she killed her brothers which was standard for the time .....

*Her intelligence and personality covers up for her beauty....*

@William Cotton So..... she was truly beautiful?

Your creepy

@Heroic One well can you 🤷🏽‍♀️. Why would the Most High create people devoid of melanin, and place them in Africa thousands of years ago. Doesn’t make sense 🤷🏽‍♀️

@ROB H8U if you believe what they teach you in school your not very educated all school is is white washed history

@ROB H8U they said Jesus was white too 😭

Roman occupied egypt would have never allowed a black pharo at the throne and anyone could have braids

Cleopatra was white tho.

@@neshtosi2116 no she wasn’t

@@squidysquid9687 She literary portrayed herself that way.She's Greek and comes from a long line of Greeks who practiced incest.Pickup a history book sometime.

@@neshtosi2116 she didn’t but okay, she was Persian and Greek ( there’s been debates that she could be black but no hard evidence so hard and it seems more likely her ancestry is the other ones mentioned bc she ruled in the time of the Ptolemy dynasty, during this time Greeks imperials ruled if the region) but had to play the part of being an Egyptian goddess on earth, so how she portrayed herself self was Egyptian (and being a goddess) but yah she wasn’t white

@@neshtosi2116 and Greek is an ethnicity were cultural ties matter more than skin color, this was especially so for the time and culturally she considers herself Egyptian, I suppose she could of had fare skin but it’s unlikely considering the region she ruled over

Her ancestors were Greek...Ptolemaic Dynasty

No she was greek.

She was half Syrian, half Greek. The previous 6 generations were inbreeding between a Ptolemy and a Syrian Princess also named Cleopatra

@AndreaLuise Ca. Are you ok? It looks like you are having a stroke.

@AndreaLuise Ca. Delusion.Art of the time and before portrayed plenty if people who were white including Cleopatra.What do you think Rome was -black ?!

Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry.....Ptolemaic.

Cleopatra was Greek in heritage. She would’ve roughly Carried the features of Greek people today

Chance are she had light skin as her whole family was Macedonian, European area of Greece

Bam!🙌

She's Greek.
