In the Hebrew text, her beauty was not once mentioned….. it has been posed that the Greek stressed it in order to avoid the responsibility of the fact that she was able to ‘take down’ so many men of power in the time. She was however written about in a way that stressed her knowledge and language skill that allowed her to communicate with all peoples that visited from around the World of her time! Amazing woman!

@@wckdaintgood 1. You misspelled "African". 2. Hamitic is an outdated and dumb theory made by white supremacists. Which is Ironic, as you called Cleopatra VII a "Hamitic, dark-skinned, black woman", this contradicts your claim of Cleopatra being a dark-skinned woman. 3. No, she wasn't dark-skinned African woman. Instead, she was a fair-skinned African woman. Also, she was a descendant of one of Alexander the great's generals, Ptolemy I Soter. Which means she was of Greek ancestry. Nice try kid, but please do not re-write history. There were far older dark-skinned Kings and Queens who ruled Kemet hundreds of years before Cleopatra VII, but you somehow missed those.

Ancient Greece destroyed Egypt

[@TayeOrisa]

Well, the Greeco-Romans ruined the civilization

[@gutar5675]

​@@zyahshorter5256 No, it didn't. Egypt was already under foreign rule for hundreds of years. The Hyksos, Libyans, and Nubians ruled them for some time. Then they were forcefully conquered by the Assyrians and eventually by the Persian empire. When Alexander made his conquest of Persia, the Egyptians welcomed him and worshipped him as a god because they were sick of Persian rule. If we're going to say someone destroyed Egypt, there has to first be an explanation of what Egypt actually was and what it wasn't. There's an easy argument for saying that the true Egypt died when it was taken by the Assyrians or after the last native Egyptian Pharaoh before the Persian conquest. I'd say the latter is pretty compelling. Another good argument is that the Roman conquest of Augustus is what destroyed Egypt. Either way, you cannot say that Greece is what did Egypt in

[@putwalk8883]

when people say Cleopatra, Nefertiti and other queens who were known to exceptionally beautiful at the time, but in today's day and age would be considered average looking, Beauty standards change. The idea of beauty varies with time, culture and place. Also they are royalty, so they would have been able to have access and afford a lot of jewellery and must have people who would've done what we call makeup today. Which a lot of common people at the time wouldn't have been able to afford or have access to, so seeing someone all dressed up in ancient Egyptian designer clothes and jewellery, would made her beautiful for them.

[@Flatbush21rst]

You know now that you say that, you’re right. Didn’t even think about that. Especially when you put into factors, the class system they were in, which an autocrat would be able to keep themselves up versus the average peasant, demographic, etc. In today’s time, shoe would be average. Nice insight

I'm Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN, I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him. Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like? With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans.

The Ptolemy bloodline was pure, lol, and they didn't have a family "tree" per say. More like a straight line almost. But that's not to say that she is iconic. People all around the world talk about her to this very day, and she is spoken with high regard and much admiration. If it weren't for Octavious's tyranny she would have ruled Alexandria and the Roman Empire, and he KNEW it! I have my own speculations as well. I wonder if Octavious tried to shoot his shot at her and was denied? That could explain why he was so determined to take her down? Just my 2 cents.

I did some research on my own and discovered that "Cleopatra" is not a Kemet [Roman name, Egypt] name. Her history actually begins after the end of the Pre-dynastic period...when all of the "Great Pharaohs" and "Queen Mothers" of "Kemet" were dead and buried. When Alexander the Great arrived in Kemet he helped to remove the Persians who had taken over Kemet at that time, but the "major players of Kemet" were by then dead and buried... Also, please note her name is NOT listed among the Queens or Pharaohs of "Kemet" during it's 3000 year reign... She comes in during the "Ptolemaic Period" which is when the Reign of "Kemet" was coming to an end...

So History has lied to us?

[@btricetv5883]

@EugeneLandreth Yes, History AND Hollywood has lied which is more often than not…

[@gutar5675]

You're exactly right, except that Cleopatra is only the Latinized form of her Greek name.

[@michaelmadison1561]

@@btricetv5883 except when the Greeks conquered Kemet and renamed her Aigyptos, it's people were still there, the Greek soldiers and Generals married into Kemets royal family to maintain Dynastic rulership which was passed on through the lineage of the Queen, Cleopatra comes from a Greek and African heritage, it has been proven that her mother was African and all the descendents of the Ptolemies were the product of mixed marriages.

@@michaelmadison1561 Cleopatra belonged to the Macedonian Greek dynasty of the Ptolemies, their European origins tracing back to northern Greece. Through her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, she was a descendant of two prominent companions of Alexander the Great of Macedon: the general Ptolemy I Soter, founder of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and Seleucus I Nicator, the Macedonian Greek founder of the Seleucid Empire. She was white European

i look at middle eastern, asian, and some italian woman today who might have bigger noses and they may not be western society's idea of beautfiul to me they are extremely gorgous for their faces that come together really well. A more common example is the main charcter of Dirty Dancing her nose a none typical nose, as well as Sara Jessica Parker. Love your non-westernized approved noses!
