why did the snake bit her in the boob??

@ajf53347 The idea that Cleopatra was bitten in the breast did not begin until the Renaissance. Before that, it was generally assumed that she was bitten in the arm, since Octavian's parade depicted her with the asps attached to her arms. This is most likely the correct version, and the way that it is written in the book upon which this movie is based. It was just artistic license in the movie.

Really, Cleopatra was an ugly woman. But she was very smart. Plutarco wrote about it

[WithMountains]

@poroshnyj Why do so many people avoid primary sources? Out of all the writers who described Cleopatra, MOST said she was beautiful. The ones who did not (like Plutarch) said that her beauty was "not uncomparable." Which means she was pretty, but not excessively so. NO ONE stated that she was ugly. I have no clue where you are getting this from...

@Softbird27 Only in your dreams was Cleopatra a black woman. She was greek

[Jinkamoto]

@poroshnyj dude... you need to read your history more than misquoting your only source smh

[hannahb9933]

i love this video n the song :)

[cescabel]

@Softbird27 Where did you get that Cleopatra was black? She was Greek as all the people for the Ptolomeo family tree, to which Cleopatra belongs. She was considered a foreign in the country and she wanted to imitate Isis and adopt Egyptian traditions to be accepted by the people of Egypt.

[takfam07]

Only Afrocentrics insist that Cleopatra was black. This emotional need for a "black Egypt" prompts the impertinent hijacking of Egyptian history by Bantu descendants. The twofold objective is to replace an ahistorical sub-Saharan past with a glorious one (even if fictional), and to remove ongoing doubt about inherent black civilizational capacity. These are black psychological issues, however, and do not change the historical fact that Cleopatra was white.

what a beautiful way to end one's life...

@Softbird27 actually the greeks/macedonian took over the ruling family and they took up marrying each other. kmt is thousands of years old. the nilotic peoples of the first dynasty are not ruling by the time of anthony the greek, even then the persians had conquered kmt before that time.
