Cleopatra also hoped that her son Caesarion would one day become ruler of both Egypt and Rome.

​@@xoneciayou are the one who should use your head (and use book), the ptolemaic was a GREEK kingdom that ruled north africa. Do you think the greeks were black? Or do you know but prefer to put it aside and be simplistic just for your agenda? (Which is?...)

There's a great video on Antony's Parthian campaign by Schwerpunkt that is really amazing

Cleopatra also had a son with Caesar whom she named Caesarion.

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

She also had three children with Antony: Ptolemy and twins called Alexander and Selene.

Cleópatra ...permanece na história do tempo!! Uma historia que vislumbra entre as formas de amor e guerra no Ocidente e Orienté!! Saberia ela que neste tempo estaríamos a descobrir enigmas.. e a falar de uma rainha de poder num poder de homens e dar um novo poder ao mundo?!

[@zeromoon__light]

queen cleopatra from rome by the time she died they were already using iron

[@calliopepodcast]

I actually think Anthony risked everything for her, not the other way around.

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

Antony was ruler of half of Roman Empire when they started relationship... She was queen of the endangered client kingdom. She was more rich than him - but he was more military powerful than her.

[@chris.asi_romeo]

Cleopatra and Mark Anthony are the original Romeo and Juliet o

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

And son of Antony, Iullus, actually had forbidden relationship with woman named Julia (daughter of Octavian August himself). Iullus took his own life after relationship was discovered, just like Romeo 🗡💔😢

[@chris.asi_romeo]

Woow didn't know that

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

@@chris.asi_romeo Yeah, Seneka the Younger wrote something along that Octavian was literally haunted by Antony & Cleopatra from grave, as his new source of troubles were another Antony and his woman 😅😅😆😆

@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518 Iullus killed himself because he was facing a death penalty. And Augustus never forgave Iulia.

Simone Collins was an incredible choice. ❤

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

I think she is the BEST representation of Cleopatra ever made (and I wasn't even able to watch this documenatry yet 😂). Cleopatra probably had bit more reddish hair, but Simone's hair still aren't jet black like others and she definitely resembles some images of Cleopatra! 💗💗💗

[@chris.asi_romeo]

I prefer this real history than aliens 👽🛸

[@yorgos19681]

we got very useful information from this video. it gave us the information that there was an ancient turkey at that time, something that no one else in the world knew about. well done great job you should be given a nobel prize for this information.😅

[@PlasticStrws]

This isn't a love story there is something else that went on, a birth of some future king at least.

[@pendragonsxskywalkers9518]

I think it was all - duty, buisness and love at once.

[@calliopepodcast]

It is a love story

[@Cleeon]

I never like things like this, some kingdom political intrigue, where the father or mother have sin, then their sons or daughter must be executed too. This why i became in love with Republican system.

[@jasminsirii]

The "Secret Holy Land of Ethiopia"| Cities of the Underworld (S3 Episode 9) has been deleted/taken down. of ALL of the million episodes on your channel its ironic how the one with MOST accurate display of Israels disgraceful history is taken down at a time like this. Gods truth will prevail.

Ancient life is terrible. The people has no power theyre all slave.

[@calliopepodcast]

That is not true, There are a lot of examples where the rullers had to make decisions not because they wanted but because they were presurred by the people, they choose what the people wanted. For example, Octavian didin t agree to make peace with Sextus Pompei, so when he met people from Rome, they stoned him and he barely escaped his life. In fact, Anthony himself saved him with his army. People also threatened Mucia, Sextus mother, with burning her house if she didn t push his son to make peace. Read the ancient writers, you ll see a lot of that kind of situations in their books.

[@nolan8977]

Wait I thought she was black?

[@KingC89]

She was Greek. Ancient Egyptian DNA was mostly European and Turkish.

[@ooorigami4166]

She wasnt black and it would be quite surprising for her to be black as she was from a highly incestuous family tree that involved europeans.

[@missepicmandy]

She wasn't

[@ThoughtzRThingz]

​@KingC89 "Ancient" Egyptians were dark complexion. Do some research. The further back in history you go the darker you'll find. Also keep in mind there was more than one Cleopatra.

[@JoeMama-li6sd]

No just jada pickett smith likes her cleopatra in black face. Makes her feel better.

[@pepsicherry6389]

i thought cleo was black ;D

[@carloswater7]

She wasn't. She was an Egyptian of Greek descent.

Her own literal DNA is Greek and European and every description of her from the time confirms she was. Cry about it more.
