Instead it's depicted as sophisticated high-stakes bluffing where neither side wants to show any intimidation or hostility. They feign civility and wear fake smiles. When it's over and she's alone with her people, Cleopatra is depicted immediately dropping the facade and having a breakdown...because she knows she's doomed.

Even if they hadn’t race swapped her this is a wildly disingenuous “docu-drama”. Tried way too hard to frame her as essentially always being right and always being ignored for being a woman as well as for being black by the end of the show by Octavian in the end. She was definitely highly intelligent and educated for the time but she was more influential in the ways of conspiracy, duplicity, and seduction. She wouldn’t have screamed in Marc Antony’s face that she’s the Pharaoh. He’d have put her on the floor. She was too cunning to make such a mistake. Always been a huge fan of Egyptian history and yeah. The race swap is 100% cultural appropriation and an attempt to rewrite history/further indoctrinate black Americans but honestly her actual story is far more intriguing than this fucking nonsense. And we know of at least 1 female Pharaoh who was more male like in her rule. Hatshepsut.

And - Egypt's days as a cultural centre and influence had LONG faded by the time of the Romans - the last great native dynasties had ended many centuries earlier and it had been sequentially occupied by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Greeks.

For anyone wondering who the 1920s British Mystic Egyptologist cosplayer chick is, her name is Colleen (Manassa) Darnell and her Wikipedia article is hilarious. She played pattycake with her professor, effectively getting them both banned for administrative privilege abuse from the administration after her now-husband (Prof. Darnell) had an affair with her all throughout her PhD process. Big think. They both cosplay as extras from an Agatha Christie novel and she has an Insta that is exactly this; *these* are the "scholastics" that Netflix invested in. Lol.

It's about time, over 100 Years of Hollywood history, them not only putting on blackface, the first American sounding was called The Jazz Singer, and that movie was blackface.. White people have had a history of playling Native Americans, if you look at a lot of the old black-and-white western movies, white people dressing up like Indians. American Indians.. iron Eyes Cody, never was a Native American, it was straight up white European dude! White people would dress up as Japanese and or Chinese, in fact they did that quite a bit. Mocking them stereotyping them as well as insulting their culture. White people playing Mexicans out of the Clint Eastwood movies and spaghetti westerns, you will see a lot of those people, they will play Arabs, they would play many different groups of people of ethnicities... John Wayne playing gangis Khan.. In fact, speaking of Egyptian movies Yul Brynner playing Ramses the second period.. Charleston Heston playing Moses, Yvonne De Carlo playing zipporah, zipporah was a Nubian woman in the Old Testament. And yet she's being played by a white woman.... christian Bale played Moses in Exodus gods and Kings, Maria Valverde played zipporah again, another white woman playing a Nubian woman, but whatever!.. How many movies did they make about Jesus using white men? Max von Sydow is not particularly Jewish, he's not particularly Hebrewish!😮 How many Blue-Eyed jesuses.. have they made in Hollywood over the past Century?

Queen Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, was the legendary queen of the Kingdom of Axum (present-day Ethiopia) and is spoken of in both the Bible and the Quran. Queen Nandi was the mother of the founder of the Zulu Empire, and was a skilled negotiator and leader who played a significant role in the early years of the Zulu Kingdom’s expansion. Yaa Asantewaa I was a queen mother of Ejisu in the Ashanti Empire, part of present-day Ghana. She led a rebellion against British colonialism.

They can tell it how they want, but facts are facts. Octavian built an empire that influenced the modern world in ways no one else has done since. Cleopatra, regardless of what color anyone wants to paint her, seduced two Romans, and in the end was on the losing side of a greater conflict far beyond her comprehension. Fact is, if she never got involved with those two men in question we wouldn't even know her name.

That is not true, number one Egyptian have ancestry from the near East, the Mediterranean, North Africa as well as Nubian blood now speaking of Nubians. Nubians have ancient land or Homeland in southern part of Egypt which is in aswan. As well as Luxor, if you look up the people of Luxor, you'll see a whole bunch of black people. Egypt was a polyglot Society.

[@nerychristian]

@@bobbyschannel349 You can't know what ancient Egyptians looked like based on current Egyptian population. Populations and demographics change. Especially in ancient times. When a tribe or nation conquered another nation, they would kill off the people of the losing nation. Or they would steal or rape the women, which would cause a mixing of different ethnicities. In the USA alone, the demographics have changed so much in just 100 years. Migration also causes changes in the population. 300 years ago, USA was composed mostly of Native Americans. 200 years ago it was composed mostly of white European settlers. Now it is a mixture of white, Mexican, Asian, black, Muslims, etc. Now imagine trying to figure out the demographics of a country several thousands of years ago.
