  • I doubt Im going to fins any secret here about Cleopatra. unless of course im racist and gullible and believe that an African place was white for 15,000yrs despite the only white Pharaohs ruling for 350yrs anding with Cleopatra who was mixed race, and by the way they NEVER built a Pyramid.

  • another "greek" bs propaganda...

    we Macedonians are extremely insulted when ppl are ignorant and not making difference between greeks - setlers , and Macedonians - NATIVES

    PtolomeY LagoY was Macedonian, born in Macedonia, its idiotic to call his dinasty "greek"

    this fascist west-europeans... and their pathetic version of the "history"

  • @LihnidRootz according to you anything opposing your view is propaganda. If "Ptolomey" (it's actually Ptolemy...excuse your horrific spelling) was not Greek then do enlighten us with what does Ptolemy mean in your language?

    And your version of history including wasting public funds on Roman arches and on greek and bulgarian stautes is not pathetic??

  • @LihnidRootz I grew up learning that Macedonia is the name of a greek province and not a slavic country. Calling Yugoslavia Macedonia is a new development, isn't it? Part of political propaganda, wasn't it?

    Incidentally...Ptolemy was technically Egyptian, though descended from greek ancestry. His ancestors spoke greek and from the pov of ancient greece, if you spoke greek, you were greek.

    I think if both sides stopped being so obsessed with this, we'd all be better off.

  • Once again cleopatria was black and so was king tut the end

  • @1:26 he sounds just like Shaggy!!!

  • O M G  Egypt is Marocco

  • The various Ramses where Nubian (black) so were King Tut and Nefrititi.

    They lived about 1500 years before Alexanders offspring who were of Greek (european) decsent.

  • I thought Cleopatra's ancestor was Macedonian, pre-fusion period since she was the descendant of Ptolmey, one of the Generals of Alexander the Great.

  • @ozekiozeki1 yes, but thats a territory of Greece

  • "Helped change World history." Seriously? It changed Japanese history too?

  • Egypt is such a beautiful country with an amazing culture/history. It's a shame the people who occupy it today are such thick selfish cowards.

  • WE EGYPTIAN WERE NOT AFRICANS, AND WE STILL DO NOT LOOK LIKE AFRICANS. WE DON'T SPEAK AFRICANS LANGUAGE

  • @EgyptianWereNotBlack your just racist and insecure. say what you want, egypt is IN THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA YOU FUCKING IDIOT FUFUCK FUCKFUCKF UR SO FUCKING STUPID FUUUUUCKKKK

  • @me715 Our Egyptian had brown skin from the Iranian but we are not Black Africans

  • Comment removed

  • @spiritinthe7thsky Cleopatra along with the whole of ancient africa was a black civilization & of course theres no black africans in egypt today becuz they were all brought to america just 500 years ago, shalom

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 Black history is-------African American and African are still slaves of white people.

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 We know our Greek Macedonian history more than you monkey looking face do. We never allowed to live any Africans in Greece so what did our Greek Macedonian Ptolemaic Dynasty could stand dirty Africans? Never. We think Africans sould be proud that USA alowed them to live with white people

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 :S Have you ever been to Egypt mate? I think you'll find that there are SO many black Egyptians LIVING IN EGYPT and nobody is racist there. You're literally chatting out of your ass. Watch this video and appreciate the thought & time that went into all the beautiful architecture. And appreciate WHO Cleopatra was instead of focusing on the colour of her skin

  • Regardless of their personal behaviors and etc that may have caused their downfalls, Egyptians and Romans really amaze me with all their skills in building beautiful and awe inspiring structures and monuments that have survived to this day.

  • Why is there so many irrelivent to the actual video comments here? I think the person who uploaded these videos should turn off all comments, chill people.

  • Cleopatra was black

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 Cleopatra was not black, she was Greek, Egyptians evan today are not black, nor any of the north African countries.

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 show me a black Greek.... Tolemy was descended from a General from Alexander the great. Are you a snoop doggy dog style fan? or What?.

  • @KingOfAfrica2012 OK woohoo she was black. What next? Skin colour doesn't define a person, no colour is superior over the other. Whether she was white or black doesn't mean anything. Get your priorities straight please.

  • THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA

  • THE EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK!!! I HATE WHEN THEY MAKE THEM WHITE IN THE MEDIA!

  • @munjishiheed Yep you're right, I think it's racist myself.

  • @munjishiheed Egyptians & the other north African countries are not black, they have the same skin tone as Asians, they are never shown as white?

  • @munjishiheed Niope... they were neither Black or White, but TEA colored: like Indonesians. So, stop trying to make an issue out of something, you have no idea of.

  • How could ugly black Cleopatra seduced white Roman mans?

  • @beRIGHTperson Black women are very beautiful.

  • @Xenu she was GREEK.... she was a descendant from a General from Alexander the Great. Read your history or herstory first. Ignorant people GIVE ME THE SHITS.

  • @starquant Uh.... I know that. I've read three books on Cleopatra.

  • @Xenu ok.... that's fine. In that case your comment is not topical nor has anything relevant to this documentary. I have also seen "Pawn Stars" and see how "Black Women" behave, entirely disgraceful to say the least. They are a minority because they behave as such and have no dignity. They "Flip out" and have random "rage" attacks without knowing why or how to overcome their pathetic and stereo-typical existence. They are still Modern day Cannon fodder because they lack Motivation and drive.

  • @starquant I was responding to a racist comment. I don't really know what you're talking about but it sounds pretty borderline racist as well.

  • @Xenu nope...Being an Islander from the South Pacific myself... My point is this... Don't come onto the net and Make "Sniper" remarks... the web is full of them. The one thing I notice is this... Males call women bitches, whores and sluts for the slightest excuse... race has NOTHING To do with it. If you want to express you love of YOUR race... go to a site where people will support you. As women we are all good at "moaning" on an individual basis as a collective group we SUK.

  • @starquant Wow. You sound kind of crazy and self-hating. And Islanders can't be racist? That's news to me.

  • @Xenu not self hating... just a realist.... Go and find a job that will support you in your own right. That's the reality of it. Go and find a job that allows you to buy a house and a car and to have holidays AND money in the bank and enough for YOUR retirement. I dare you. 80% of females can not manage this because their wages are too low. It forces women into dependency and no one cares a damn about it. You blather on about racism, what about the female of the species?. Your Nation fails.

  • @starquant So you're a racist AND a self-hating woman? I would explain how ridiculous your comments are but I doubt you're capable of assimilating a rational idea into your head. I hope for your sake that you're still a kid because you have a lot of growing up to do.

  • @Xenu you really have no clue as to the point I am making, the only thing you can resort to is Ad Hominem. I really pity you. I think you deserve your lot.

  • @Xenu the fact that I asked to you find a job that supports you in real terms... requires me to GROW UP... YOU ARE FUCKED IN THE HEAD.

  • @Xenu with attitudes like yours, no wonder "Black" women in America are nothing more than Beggars and Baby making machines. They have no hope. Good luck

  • @starquant You obviously have a very racist and stereotyped image of black women in the United States. You're a pretty delusional and disgusting individual.

  • @Xenu no problem... I'll go back to watching Pawn Stars, and watch all the African American Women do their little war dance over 50 dollars. It's degrading, but very entertaining. Keep up your mantra, it has no power and no one cares. I never saw such a useless and unempowered group of collective Women in ALL my life. No wonder people think your a joke..... cause it's true.

  • @Xenu Even your own rapperz hate "black Women"... 2pac called them Whores and Snoop dogg think your all sluts. Address your own issues within your OWN country before you strike out INTERNATIONALLY. If your own MEN hate you, don't expect respect.... you have NOT earn't it.

  • @Xenu Stupid cracker cancer dying myth smoking easy to get rob small little dick pink bitch. Shut the fuck up and go back to jacking of to harry potter! IQ this cracker your race population his dying we going to own you crackers dust like the old Egypt use to own you HONKEYS...

  • @pipo26100 Very eloquent and not racist or delusional at all.

  • @pipo26100 lol, have a go at me:.... No worries: I prosper while you can't even get off the ground. Too entangled in your slave mentality. Here's something you need to know: Something us WHITE FELLAS knew all along: There is no such thing as a FREE LUNCH. Stop complaining and do the hard YARDS, like the rest of us. If you tired of being seen as a Whore, then get some dignity and self respect. The World OWES YOU NOTHING. GROW UP AND GET A BRAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE.

  • @starquant Your concerned more about History (Herstory), than what is actually staring you in the face. Your so tied up in Semantics, that the point is lost. WE ALL KNOW BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. Stop stating the bloody obvious and move on. You watched this video, you know the persecution... even though you have the right to vote, doesn't mean you have a voice. You suffer and get abused and all you can say is "Black is beautiful?" ......

  • Its men not mans...white men always had a thing for black women..sorri dude :)

  • @only14bre your sick.... Men like having sex with anything that moves... we all know that. You just admitted it.

  • @starquant Im sick huh :) well i hope your bussin with someone and not your right hand friend every night. Be easy sweets :)

  • @beRIGHTperson She was GREEK... Besides stop judging a Woman by "so called" beauty. She had a Mind and a well educated mind... that's what seduced the Romans. Are you Snoop Dwags pal?... he's an ignorant fuck , just like you.

  • @beRIGHTperson I take it YOU WERE THERE?. The issue was not on her beauty, but her education.... I suspect no one will ever understand: when I have to read shit like this.

  • white folks so happy somebody in egypt is not 100 percent african they dont kno wat to do. and she not even white she a quater greek. and remember greeks juss became considered white people cuz europeans needed to make a fake eurogreco connection

  • Thanks for this upload...you always have the best in documentaries, love your channel!!

  • "White" and "Black" are colors, not races. A "Throne" is what a queen sits on. "Thrown" is the past tense of "throw". Human adults argueing over the ethnic background of an ancient ruler they've never met is futile. There is no point in it, it brings no glory or flattery to anyone and only insults and hurts people. I'm sure a good google investigation could turn up the results of Cleopatras proper genealogical history. There is enough fighting and war and hatred going on in this world.

  • @ivydaniels Technically Black and White are 'shades' not 'colors'.

  • this is gr88888

    i got it in my litening skills and got a 10 on 10

  • did someone call cleopatra a nigger?? um... no! she was sex on a throne!!!!

  • Cleopatra was Greek, she was most likely light skin colored.

  • @zyphenband Her family, the Ptolomy, were Greek originally, in fact the first Ptolomy King of Egypt was a General in the army of Alexander the Great, some 300 years before. She was born in Egypt, therefore she is not Greek, but Egyptian

  • @zyphenband Cleopatra was descendant from greeks but she was born in Alexandria, so I guess that makes her an egyptian, not pure one egyptian (since her family didnt even speak egyptian, they spoke greek, she learnt to speak egyptian eventually and even other languages), but egyptian in the end.

  • I'm obsessed with Egypt *_*

  • draq sa va ia de englesi ca in romana nu gasesti nimic

  • sabrinaqueen

    hey you need to stop being racist it's stupid to think escpically in this time where we're all supposed to be equals. So if you ain't gonna say something nice don't say nothing at all. 

  • Im watching this interesting History, im geeky at greek

  • 太酷了。台灣加油

  • @thelabrinthewood. I don't use the n word. I was just giving an example to Sabrinathequeen... look wat she wrote

  • CLEOPATRA WAS GREEK

  • @ Sabrinaqueen .... What the hell is ur problem. You can speak about your opinion without being racist. Any body can be ignorant... It doesn't mean you go calling African Americans and blacks ignorant. Everyone has there ignorant moments even you. Since nigger means ignorant. Your a nigger dummy

  • @MzZbunniiMuSiC Stop behaving backward, this new definition of the 'n' word is ridiculous it was a word used as part of the brutality against black people (regardless of ones character) it is and will always be racist. Black people need to stop using it. It is self hate.

  • iam done educating ignorant negroes on historical&archaeological fact-there's no talking them down from their afro-centric fairy tales

  • ...who prided themselves on never ever marrying outside of the other macedonian kingdoms&in later years hardly deigned to even marry outside of the ptolemaic family proper-cleopatra vii was the first of any ptolemy to even feel it was worth her time to learn the native egyptian tongue-the native egyptians were nonentities politically who had for long centuries learned to accept foreign rule-go to university&learn something niggers

  • it's only impossible to ignorant ass niggers who've never been to school&don't know about the macedonian colonisation of egypt&almost all of the rest of the known world-from macedonia to the hellespont to the tigris to the indus-the ptolemies took over ruling the egyptians from where the persians left off-they hadn't had a native pharoh for generations-ruled by the caucasian/persian king of kings&then three hundred years of macedonian rule by cleopatra's ancestors

  • fuckin'retards-she was almost purely macedonian-with a slight semetic strain due to a distant seleucid ancestor-this is pure archeological fact! get over it dumb ass negroes-she was white!!

  • @sabrinaqueen The only retard is you!!! macedonian people were not WHITE you dumb ass cracker!!!!

  • @sabrinaqueen seriously why is your ignorant ass even trying to justify that she was white when she clearly wasn't. It's clear that you're racist and was brought up with no common sense. Cleopatra was of mixed race they even have evidence that her mother was of North African descent (Ethiopian). In Ancient Egypt the average population of Egyptians were Mulatos, Black Africans and Arabians. No way in hell a white woman could have took the thrown just impossible.

  • Of course Cleopatra was white. Her father was Macedonian Greek. And doubtful he would have married an Ethiopian, given the political structure of that time. But so she was white--so what? I hope blacks don't build up false hope that she was black, and then become resentful when she's not depicted as such.

  • @takfam07 she was of mixed race she wasnt' black nor white, you have been decieved, History has been written in a way so that every race was depicted as white which is false if she was white why was her skin color in their gyphs tan nearly brown, so try and learn more before you even share your opinion cause your wrong sorry.

  • @ashastrawberribreez Blacks insist on seeing history as some grand "white" conspiracy specifically designed to hold blacks down--but no one else. Why is that? History doesn't paint Imperial China, or the samurai court society of ancient Japan, or the earliest India civilizations of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa, or the Aztecs and Incas, or the astonishing, mind-blowing brilliance of ancient Polynesians who mastered open-ocean navigation, as "white." They call it as they see it.

  • @takfam07 she probably looked like Mediterranean, much like some of today's portuguese and spaniards. She probably had dark hair, her skin was probably brown because of the sun. She probably looked very exotic to European rulers.

  • White people do bad things, black people o bad things we all do bad things shut the fuck up we are all humans nobody with an actual brain gives a damn about motherfucking skin colour.

  • Cleopatra had a blond , blue-eyed sister named Arsinoe who looked like their mother , Berenice . The Ptolomies were Greek not Egyptian and anyone that says otherwise is ignorant or deluded or a liar . Period .

  • @vasp99 Actually your incorrect. Cleopatra's mother was of North African descent basically possibly Ethiopian and her father was Macedonian so they were mixed race, so your the ignorant one, should have took History of Costume and Ancient Egypt History :)

  • @ashastrawberribreez I don't know , nor do I care where it is that you cull your "facts" from . At the end of the day the fact is that Ptolomeys were incestuous and very scrupulous . No mixed race person could have been tolerated as Queen . Period . Try going with facts rather than racist agendas .

  • @vasp99 you make me laugh because you're just so dumb. In what way was I being racist I couldn't possibly be racist anyways I'm multi-racial. Your just upset because you been told the truth and you dont want to accept it, possilby from your lack of education you'd believe the false facts people have been telling you.

  • @vasp99 I couldnt imagine a blonde hair/blue eyed woman in a hot&humid climate wearing black wigs with beads and dark makeup just impossible. And yes Cleopatra and her 5 other siblings were of mixed race. Just get over yourself because you're not right this time, sorry D:

  • Why did 5 people dislike it? I can't find what their points are!!!! :(

  • history is beautiful.

  • Cleopatra is my favorite queen in history

  • My God, you people are nuts for even bringing up the black/white issue into this.

    The Egyptians WERE NOT BLACK nor where they WHITE! Their skin tone was very similar to that of modern Arabs if not more tanned (even though Arabs were not in Egypt at that time) If you bother studying Egyptian art, you can see they extinguished themselves from other races including the Ethiopians and Asians.

    Also, Cleopatra was from Greek heritage which means her skin was most likely olive toned.

  • @heady021

    yeah, my bad. Didn't even notice that typo. Thanks :)

  • @AussiePocky search for >>the phynx is a black man?<< here on youtube, and hear an american scientist who said that the statue of a black man was the only statue that was found in the pyramid in egypt on october 20 1996 by acheologies from england and america .

  • My how the mighty have fallen.

  • ancient egyptians were black for all you eurocentric dumbasses out there ancient

    egypt was called kemet which meant land of the black people!!!!....and by the waythe pyramids were first by egyptians workers then the ancient hebrew isaelites which were also so BLACK!!!!! dna tests have proven this check out the lemba tribe.psh..white people try to claim everything ignorant cave dweller crackas lol!!!!

  • @openmindman03 The "black" of "Kemet" could well have referred to the dark soil of the fertile Nile flood plains, on which so much of Egypt depended.

    Bringing modern conceptions of race into it is a bit ridiculous anyway.

  • Look how great Egypt is now.

  • Who really cares what race cleopatra was, it really doesn't matter or even make a different. For all we know she could have even been japenese but honestly it doesn't matter, being a certain race doesn't mean anything.

  • I think the europeans having great civilizations like Greece and Rome were great but they cannot compare to Egypt which was THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME and just knowing it was built by african people kinda make greece and rome look like childs play so what next? They have to TRY to claim it was white because egypt being as great as it was cannot be african but european which is a joke. That's how i see many europeans acting . They know deep down their ancestors didnt come from egypt or africa, LMAO

  • thanks this is very good

  • wtf how was she white in egypt this what my uncle talking bout trying to tell lies with truth the white man teaches history the way they want not how it actually happened they need to fuck off

  • @itzindeeznutsnigg77

    Well, she DID bathe in milk, which bleaches the skin.

  • omg! i hate the fact that people still focus on skin color!!!

  • @956y that happens on EVERY ancient egyptian documentary..nowadays i read past it

  • @956y I agree! 

  • @956y I hate it MORE when they focus more on Gender. Not ONCE has anyone ever credited this Woman with ABILITY. They focus on her looks and her sexual attributes... We'll I wasn't around during that time .. were you?, so what does it matter?. What matters is her skill, her tenacity and her natural ability.. no one focus on that, because of her Gender and to exclude that would mean she is a member of the Human Race... and no one wants to give her that RIGHT !.

  • @starquant Just keep watching this program, it looks like there going to be fair to the woman. Jesus take a breather..

  • Listen idiots Africa = black people + Roman = Carcasions = This video is fake everyone wants to be black, NO MOTHER FUCKAS WALK AROUND WITH GOLD on there Necks & Wrist But WHO = African Americans thanks

  • Excellent video. Thank you!

  • who the fuck cares what the people looked like?

  • Macedonians to de weeeerld!!!

  • Wow! I am black myself but it is very clear that Cleopatra was not black! What a ridiculous argument!

  • donnt yell at me if udont like what im saying...CLEOPATRA WAS AN IDIOT.

  • Okay, White people you're ancestors are from Europe, you have you're own european culture, but when comes to Africa that's black people culture!!! Stop making every great history you learn about other people histories besides yourself white! Egypt is African land.

  • @sexyrose93 It's history. You can't somehow say Cleopatra was black when she was part of a Macedonian dynasty. Are you going to say Macedonians are now blacks too?

    And I'm sure the Romans were black too. And the saxons. Hell, EVERYONE WAS BLACK, until evil whitey came and took it all away, am I right?

  • Answer this Question: How can a white greek woman be queen of Egypt when Egypt is an African land with African people. The pharaoh's and queen wanted their descendants through bloodline to rule Egypt not no fucking white woman from Europe!!! All the Pharaoh's and Queen's are African people. Man... so many people are brainwashed.

  • @sexyrose93 African doesn't even mean black, it just means you're from the continent of Africa. North Africa doesn't even have much blacks.

    Also, Cleopatra was part of the Ptolemy dynasty which took power when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. They were well known for inbreeding, and it is highly unlikely that they ever mixed with the native Egyptians, who themselves were not even black, but more tan-like.

  • @Vengrence African people skin tones come in different shades. Not all African people are dark! North African people are mixed with the europeans. Egyptians are African people! They have African features. I live in America, I'm brown skinned. But my ancestors are african people. To be a King or Queen you must have that bloodline to rule that land, unless you married you're own someone else among you're own people. Cleopatra was a black african woman.

  • @sexyrose93 Uh, I don't think you understand what a king or queen is. Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, ans as such he installed a Macedonian family as the Pharaohs of Egypt. That was called the Ptolemaic dynasty which Cleopatra was part of.

    The Ptolemaic dynasty did not mix with the native Egyptians, and as such can't be black. African does not be black, so stop trying to mix up basic facts. You can be African, and still be white.

  • @Vengrence Uh, I don't think Cleopatra was white. I believe she was a black african queen. Not White! I never said Romans, Saxons, macedonians were black! People can brainwash you to believe in a lie. You need to talk to people that are non-white! African people that know the real history of the egyptians. Sorry Cleopatra isn't white. I also never said white people were evil. So don't put words in my mouth. peace.

  • Comment removed

  • @Vengrence Only black African people ruled Egypt not white people sorry! How can a white woman be queen over a black nation doesn't make sense.

  • @sexyrose93 Because they conquered Egypt? I just mentioned that Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, as well as a whole variety of other ancient nations. Also, North Africa is not black, I would know, I live in North Africa.

  • @Vengrence North Africa isn't black are you kidding me? North, West, South, and East Africa are all black people. You don't live in North Africa! I went to you're youtube channel page. It says that the Country you live in is the United States. So stop lying! I know Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, but that doesn't mean that Cleopatra was a white woman. It's a waste of my time to keep arguing with you back in forth. Because clearly it shows me that you are a brainwashed person.

  • @sexyrose93 I was born in Tunisia, NORTH AFRICA. I currently live in the US, correct. Black implies having ancestry in sub-Saharan Africa. My skin is tan, not black, not white.

    I am African yes, but I am not black. Clearly, you wish to steal the culture of others just to suit your own delusional fantasies of all of Africa being black. It won't work.

  • @Vengrence Well you should of said you're from North Africa at first before saying you live there in you're recent comment. Why would i want to steal the culture of others for?? I never said you're skin is black/ dark skinned. My skin is tan also. African people have different skin complexions, yes some are darker than others. I just don't believe Cleopatra was a white woman. Not all Egyptians are tan-like some of them are darker than the other Egyptians.

  • @sexyrose93 It depends on what your definition of white is. She wasn't ethnically Egyptian, that's for sure. Her family dynasty originated in Macedonia, and they heavily inbreeded as most royal families did to remain that way. Egypt has a long history. Cleopatra's dynasty only lasted a few hundred years, so it's just a small piece of it. Afterwards it was conquered by the Islamic Caliphate originating from Arabia.

  • @Vengrence Good night, don't care anymore wast of my time!

  • @Vengrence Yes Cleopatra was part of the Ptolemy dynasty and was white, but the natives of the whole nile valley were Ancient Ethiopians, so they are black, the hyksos (mesapatomians) were foreign and the Assyrians(mesapatomians), were foreign also, but the Ancient Ethiopians, were natives, from King Menes, to King Tut, to King Taharqa they were all Ethiopians and all black africans started as Ancient Ethiopians.

  • @southbr28 It depends on time period when you're referring to natives. The Nile is a long system running all the way down past Ethiopia. On the higher regions of the Nile, the natives were very mixed, very tan-like. The lower you went, the darker the skin usually got.

    Egypt and Ethiopia are also different regions, so what would apply to one wouldn't apply to the other. They had similarities of course, but calling them the same thing would be strange.

  • Cleopatra and the greeks only had really small parts of land, most of the nile even at this time was still ruled and governed by the Ancient Ethiopians(the natives of the nile).

    When alex the great and them came they were building palaces and stuff, but the Ancient Ethiopians were still building pyramids, even at this time,the king of Ethiopia still claimed to be king of the whole nile valley.

  • black history

    alredy now

  • I don't think she was too pretty, but hey, olive skin and almond eyes.....mmmmm

  • Egypt is in North East Africa, Egyptians are black african people. Why would African people have a cauacasian woman to rule their land?? Doesn't make any sense to me.

  • @sexyrose93 After the death of Alexander the Great his empire was divided among his Greek Generals, one general Ptolemy ruled over Egypt and established the Ptolemaic dynasty, the Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemies as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek, Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ) was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty hence a rightful & legal ruler of Egypt.

  • @Ghanfort I don't believe she was a white woman!

  • @sexyrose93 @sexyrose93 Cleopatra was white, because she was a foreigner(greek). The greeks took land close to the med. sea at this time, and were claiming to be egyptians(which really the word came from the greeks), but the natives were Ancient Ethiopians. Ancient Ethiopia started from the top of the nile all the way down to modern Ethiopia. Its just after time first the Hyksos(Mesapatomians), and then Assyrians(Mesapatomians), the natives(Ancient Ethiopians), lost more and more land

  • @southbr28 The

    famous queen that is depicted as a beautiful white girl in films called Cleopatra was a

    also a black colour queen but nostalgia and the European love affair with the colour

    white has made every depiction of ancient famous people of Africa as white.

  • @sexyrose93 Im black myself and I know that the whole craze about Ancient Egypt , the time of the pyramids, that the people were black, because they were Ethiopians, but Cleopatra is not an Ethiopian, she is a greek, so yes she was white, but she has nothing to do with the glorious dynastys in the past. Yes people have lied alot about the nile valley, but them saying cleopatra is white, is one thing they are not lying about.

  • @Ghanfort At this time like in past times, there was a foreign ruler who claimed to be ruler of the nile, but remember their was always a king also, who was native, who wore the double crown and claimed to be ruler of the nile too(Ancient Ethiopians).

  • anyhow..why would a caucasian or even arab woman wear braided wigs...It just does not fit. lol ..I have to laugh at this..
