CLEOPATRA: The Story of the Queen of Egypt (FULL DOCUMENTARY) 

As A Greek woman, thank you for keeping her dignity. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for loving her so much and protecting her. You are truly worthy of her. The people of Greece still love the people of Egypt.

I grew up in Bulgaria and I am appalled of the woke garbage courtesy of Netflix. So sick of indoctrinated and incompetent fanatics trying to re-write history. Thank you for the well researched and informative documentary.

I’m neither Egyptian nor Greek but I love history and specially I love ancient Egypt history. Netflix rewriting of history to fit their ignorant minds is disgusting. Thank you for releasing a REAL documentary about such an important historical figure. ❤

I'm African-American who loves history and I I support accurate representation of Egyptian history.

As a Greek, i have an immense respect for the history of Egypt 🇬🇷❤️🇪🇬

As a Romanian I support Egypt with it's history and culture. It's much better when you see egyptians telling their own story. Much respect to mister Hawass, one of the greatest egyptologist in our times. Same for all the team and specialists who worked to make this documentary happen. We want more. Congratulations for your effort and dedication.

This is the documentary that Queen Cleopatra VII deserved, not that Netflix abomination. Congratulations! 🎉

As a proud Greek, thank you and congratulations to everyone in this video for all the details and the truth of our Greek Macedon Egyptian Queen Cleopatra!!

As Egyptian I am so happy to see people saying the truth about our history ❤❤🇪🇬

Been waiting for this ever since that Abomination Netflix is releasing. Well done for revealing the truth about Egypt and Greece's role in Egyptian history. 🇪🇬 ❤️🇬🇷

Now this. THIS IS a TRUE documentary about Cleopatra. I'm from the Philippines, currently studying works of our National Artist Painter Juan Luna. One of his LARGE paintings is currently in Museo del Prado called "La Muerte de Cleopatra" [The Death of Cleopatra] and EVEN HE knows Cleopatra's true ethnicity based on his painting. Not that terrible revisionist "docu-series" Netflix is peddling. How come this video ain't blowing up yet?

As a brazilian studying egyptian history on my major, thank you so much for this. Lets tell the history of Egypt with responsibility it deserves.

As a Greek man, thank you for your excellent work. The truth matters, and the fact that you rose to defend it honors both you and us. Thank you to all the excellent experts who assisted you in your work and provided such a wealth of information, leaving no room for Jada Smith’s narcissistic malignancy and Afrocentric obsessions.

Thank you for this great documentary about the most famous Cleopatra! Claiming Cleopatra to be something else than she was, is an offence not just to Egypt but to the world. Great Egypt 🇪🇬 none can match you! Love from Greece 🇬🇷

As an American I respect this effort to show dignity and respect for historic figures from those wishing to steal it.

I'm Assyrian, and I have always held my Mediterranean brothers and sisters as special, and am always glad to see you in my day. God bless you all 🙏

Egypt 🇪🇬 give yourself a great hug. You have an amazing country steeped in an even more amazing history. Your love,respect and admiration for Cleopatra brought tears to my eyes. We all stand with you for the truth and the preservation of your history. Don't allow anyone to take away from you what is rightfully yours. Well done to all involved. Respect 🇪🇬 Dr Hawass you are the best sir.

As an Egyptian, Can't tell how proud I am of this documentary which shows the truth of our history. Egypt for Egyptians!🥰

I'm an American and an avid historian with a special affinity for ancient cultures, and I must say thank you. Thank you a million times for staying faithful to history and the truth.

As a Greek woman i want to thank everyone who participated in this documentary and brought out the true story as it is about the much loved queen Cleopatra. I thank all the Egyptian people for all the love they have given us since ancient times and continue feeling the same! Watching this masterpiece only gives you touching emotions, pride and awe. Queen Cleopatra was of Greek origin but she was also Egyptian, her people adored her and adores her still, she was their queen and surely she felt the same towards them! It is a honor to you, it is a worth for you! Cleopatra is yours, history is yours! We love you, thank you!!!🥰

I am Egyptian and really I can’t thank you enough for this great documentary, and your effort, care, and love for Egypt ❤ we all love you too ❤

I am not Egyptian but I love History. It is one of my greatest passions and I believe that it should be shown accurately according to all historical evidence. The racist discourse that I have seen aimed at the Egyptian people in the wake of Netflixs mockumentary has horrified me and I am shocked that nobody has been talking about it. I fear for the day that these horrible people seek to destroy what they call "fake artifacts" in order to take Egypt back for "true Egyptians" whatever that means. Thank you for this documentary. I enjoyed it.

I stand with the Egyptian people, and their own right to depict the history that is solely theirs. I love Egyptian History, and the Egyptian people . I support them fully on their stance on culture appropriation from the Producer, and Director whom clearly have an agenda. 🇪🇬 Egypt for Egyptians ! Thank you Curtis Ryan woodside, and Dr. Zahi Hawass for preserving Egyptian history, and a superb documentary about Cleopatra. Egyptian culture is deeply rooted into my heart being Mediterranean.

Absolutely marvelous documentary. As an Egyptian, I can say that we are proud of our history over the centuries.. we don’t deny any era or ruler .. we are grateful that we have such rich history and we salute, great and respect all nations and their civilizations and histories. Whoever you are, anywhere on this earth be proud of just who you are and demand that all the rest respect you and your culture.. it is a right not a favor from anyone.

I am British, however, I love history with a passion and I have felt complete frustration and anger about the whole Netflix fantasy 'documentary'. I am angry that Netflix are allowing this kind of false depiction! I believe passionately that history needs to be shown accurately. So much evidence that gives us a picture of Cleopatra! This documentary is very informative and educational and I would definitely recommend watching this for anyone who wants to learn the real facts of this historically great woman and era. Thank you for producing this!

Love this! I'm from Sweden, a self-described Norse Viking and history nerd. I re-learned a lot of what I had heard before from this amazing show and also learned some new things that I did not know before. Would much rather watch this documentary and listen to all these wonderful, intelligent people than the Netflix version Thank you, Egypt for sharing your amazing history with us! Thank you for telling us your stories and for all your passion for the truth. Lots of love from the cold north

As an Italian, thank you for telling the true history of Egypt and Rome. It’s so sad what happened to her children.

As an Armenian, I’ve always heard the story of how my grandmother was born and raised in Egypt, that my great grandparents survived the Armenian genocide and found refuge in Alexandria, Egypt and created a beautiful life there and had 4 children. Needless to say that I’ve always been fascinated by the Egyptian culture and their rich ancient history. I’m so glad I stumbled across this wonderful documentary! Thank you ❤️

As an Egyptian am so so proud of my country🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 and I can’t thank you enough for this amazing documentary and your great effort❤️❤️🙏🏻

As an Egyptian, I am very proud of this beautiful documentary. Thank you all, Egypt to the Egyptians❤️

I’m a history major who likes to research in my free time about historical events and ancient civilizations and empires, and I must say that you did a great job on this historically accurate documentary, I would score this as a 10/10 for historical accuracy. Ever since I heard about what Netflix did with their “documentary”, I’ve been researching more and more about Cleopatra and The Ptolemaic Kingdom. Forget Netflix, this right here is what you call a documentary. I hope Egypt decides to make their own series about Cleopatra, and to one day pass on my historical knowledge to the next generation, who don’t know how important history truly is.

Amazing that this low-budget documentary ended up being far more informative and accurate than Netflix' high-budget political disasterpiece. Well done Curtis, and everyone else who worked on this project. You did Cleopatra justice.

This is a true documentary. Actual historians, archeologists, and Egyptologists. Not pandering Netflix "empowerment", spearheaded by Jada Pinkett Smith with her Art School education. And please, no disrespect to people in theatre, dance and arts, but just as archeologist don't do choreography or theatre, same goes the other way around. People should defer to opinions voiced by professionals in that particular subject, is all I'm saying ...

this documentary should be shared everywhere in the world right now, this documentary honestly puts netflix to shame, isnt it better to listen to historians and academic professors rather than people who refer to the their grandmothers.

I am a woman from Armenia who studied history at university many years ago. The history of Armenia is closely connected to the countries of the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea, in particular, the Armenian King Artavsdes II was a prisoner of Marc Antony and Cleopatra and refused to bow his head before the queen of Egypt and worship her as a goddess. Thank you so much for a terrific documentary, I support the people of Egypt and love their history and culture (as well as the Greek history and culture). I enjoyed watching this film. 🩵

I’m french and i Want to say thank you for your work. I love history and archeology. And canceled my Netflix sub as soon as i discovered the disaster. I won’t come back it’s no more for me. Everyone knows cleopatra 7 was a macedonian women. She was clever scientist and talked several languages.

Great documentary. As Greeks you are always in our thoughts dear Egyptians. We want to see you prosper, be happy and healthy. We have been natural allies and partners since ancient times. Even before Alexander and Cleopatra. Don't let anybody steal your history and your identity. Καλό αγώνα ( have a good struggle).

I have no words!!! This is amazing I've never been more proud of my country and its civilization 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 Egypt has been for Egyptians and will forever be! In spite of all of their claims we have an answer for every claim because WE ARE WHO have the right here!!🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 Long live my country Egypt💕💕🇪🇬✨️

Great documentary,a pleasure to see it.Respect from Albania🇦🇱❤️🇪🇬❤️🇬🇷

What a wonderful documentary. Cleopatra has often been depicted exactly as the Romans wrote about her, a seductress and a villain. For so long, no one bothered to try and understand who she really was. It’s also wonderful to see so many Egyptian historians and experts involved! I know Mr. Hawass has long been a respected Egyptologist, but for far too long Egyptian history was something foreigners studied. It’s beautiful to see so many people connected to their own history, even though it should have always been this way. Thank you so much for making this! Much respect and love!

As Egyptian I can't thank you enough for spreading the truth around the world 👌❤️

As an Egyptian woman I'm very grateful to all the makers of this documentary.. and I want to say something... Africa is full of many, different, beautiful and culturally rich civilizations. Africa is the most diverse continent in terms of cultural, civilizational and historical diversity. I wish Afro-centrics love their culture and teach us about it and their history instead of stealing ours!

I am from Turkey and I support the Egyptians. This is the theft of history in a very despicable way. The Egyptians should not be silent about this. I hope that they will attack Hollywood, Netflix and anyone who imagines that he can change the ancient and great Egyptian history that we all knew all over the world.🇹🇷❤️🇪🇬

Im an American, and I've always found the history of Ancient Egypt so fascinating! When I heard what Netflix had done, I was absolutely appalled. Thank you for doing this documentary on the true life Cleopatra.

What a great documentary, well done! I could listen to this for hours. I may be Dutch, but I support the Egyptians and the Greeks. This is their history... ❤ Cleopatra was a remarkable woman!

Thank you for this!!! Excellent production!! Much love from a Greek viewer! 🇬🇷

I'd like to see a full documentary about Queen Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertiti. Thank You for sharing this documentary about Queen Cleopatra.

There should be serious legal consequences for anyone attempting to rewrite history and defaming historical figures. Thank you for this well done fact-checked documentary.

I’m American 🇺🇸 and want to say thank you for keeping Cleopatra accurate.

As a caribbean woman of North African descent from my mother side I stand firmly with Egyptian 🇪🇬 and Greece 🇬🇷 they are entitled to tell their story, as it is.

I am not of Egyptian or Greek decent. thank you so much for doing a real documentary about a Queen I admire since I was a child. A woman who was not only a mother but a survivor, leader, a politician and a visionary. she also has a shady past..😅

This entire documentary on Cleopatra was tremendous to watch❤👏🏿🙂 I had a full education and I was pleased. I was left stunned.

I am a Dutch historian and I love the quality of the images and the story you tell so well. I lift up my hat to you sir.

This is exactly how documentaries should be made, thanks to everyone who participated in this well researched informative documentary.

I'm not Greek nor Egyptian nor Macedonian. In fact, halfway across the world but I love history and Egyptology enthusiast. I THANK YOU for protecting history.

Finally! A real documentary about Egypt and our greek Cleopatra. Dont you all think the real story is more fascinating than Netflix's west african warrior queen? Its not an insult to Egypt or Africa that Cleopatra was Greek. We love Greece (our Mediterranean neighbor) and we consider cleopatra vii egyptian without denying she was greek. Its an important part of her identity and our history!

"No matter what they told u in school"........ Thank you for your movie and straighten things up . We cannot agree to lie about history and history itself . Great lesson

I am Egyptian and I am so proud and I am so happy with this amazing documentary! Thanks to everyone who participated in this masterpiece !!

I'm not Egyptian, but I love the history. You do the world a service by stating the truth. No one should be able to make history into what they want. If they do, it's not history. At that point it becomes fiction, and the world loses. Thank you for the truth.

Now THIS is a proper documentary! Beautifully shot, edited, and presented. Thank you very much for not only presenting and preserving Egyptian history and culture, but also it’s importance and impact on our collective human history.

This is the DOCUMENTARY we need of Cleopatra, by majority of Egyptians that know what they are saying. Bless the producers of this video! Thank you!

Real documentary 👏 as Egyptian I'm proud to watch the truth about Cleopatra 🇪🇬❤️🇬🇷

As an American who lives in Southern California, thank you. I would also like to apologize for Hollyweird! I was sicken how Hollyweird is obsessed with colorism, and rewriting US history. I am so glad the good Dr. Hawass, whom Ive been following over ten years! Thank goodness you stopped the vulgar takeover of Hollywood. I have visited both. Greece and Egypt I have spent most of my adulthood studying Greek and Egypt ancient civilizatio, and love so much 9f your two history. Thank you for setting the record straight about Queen Cleopatra! She is worthy of serious study. Your documentary is wonderful. Applause to Dr. Hawass.

I'm Thai living in Thailand and I support Egypt about this issue. I love the Egyptians especially Prof. Hawass speaking the truth out about her identity and keep the pride and dignity of the nation while slamming the ignorant out of the door. Thanks

I love this. As an American, I JUST heard controversy over the Netflix series so I immediately didn’t wanna watch it. We’ve gotten a little crazy over here lol I am really interested in global history and I’m glad I stumbled upon this piece! Well done

I am beyond happy that this documentary was published by Real Historians, Archeologists and Egyptian Historians. Thank You so much for the years of work and complete lives dedicated on searching for the truth that is hidden or forgotten. I love history, I love human history the real history that is found in books, paintings, mural paintings, and many other objects that ancient people left for us to find, like human foot prints.❤THANK YOU SO MUCH I say this with all my heart❤ MY MOST SINCERE THANK YOU AND MY MOST ENOURMOUS ADMIRATION DR. ZAHI HAWASS ( MY HERO)❤. oh by the way I have many history college (about to get my degree in history) courses and funny thing I have never read a book that starts with "my grandma told me cleopatra was black" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious to hear!!!!!! What the grandma has been alive since August 10, 30 BC🤷WOW!! I know Netflix has no standards but they need to start rethinking their logic😂

This is what a documentary should be 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Best documentary we can have for now. Hope Egypt actually pulls out an actual, high quality, movie like, documentaries about Egyptians history and culture for the world to learn from and enjoy. Curtis should definitely be part of the whole production of this.

I really can't get over this video. What an interesting way to tell history. Now i am sure Netflix are crying their ass off

As an Egyptian, we are proud of this movie. We are the descendants of the ancient Egyptian kings, and we have analyzes proving that. We love our beautiful Queen Cleopatra 🇪🇬🇬🇷❤️

Brazilian but in love with Egypt since I was a child❣

As a mediterranean male and egyptolgist thank you for making this sober documentary to preserve Cleopatra dignity.

This brought tears to my eyes.. Egypt is my country, and I become extremely extremely defensive and jealous when it comes to its roaring history. Thank you for your appreciation to our one of a kind and priceless heritage.

I'm an American of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent and I thank you for this documentary.

This is an amazing documentary, unlike the Netflix crap. As an American, I hate what Netflix has done to the great Queen Cleopatra. Love all of you and keep up the great work with the perservation work in Egypt guys and gals!

I majored in History here in the US and my goal was to be a historian. Then I had children and just changed my mind and decided to stay home with them BUT my heart still belongs to history lol. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary! I’m embarrassed that Netflix came out with that awful show!

I mean as a person who lives in the us I love Greek and Egyptian history it’s always been so fascinating to me it’s something that should be protected if we don’t have history we don’t have anything to learn from

❤ this! THANK YOU for preserving history as it was and not how some people WISH it was! This was amazing. An ACTUAL educational DOCUMENTARY is ALWAYS better than ANY fluff piece with actors and high production costs! I much prefer to see the actual historical ruins and the real history. I also want to say that myself as an American, it is EXTREMELY upsetting that it truly does seem to be a recent American idea to rewrite history.. and not only American history but history from ALL AROUND the world.. as with this idea of Cleopatra being black or whatever else they are trying to say is WRONG.. the man who spoke of Africa and Egypt being MULTI RACIAL was so correct! And that is how and where America NEEDS to be headed in thinking for our own country as well as the WORLD and world history. Accepting history as it truly was and being able to accept that there were GREAT and AMAZING leaders from ALL races and colors and ethnicities is not at all in anyway diminishing the accomplishments of another race or ethnicity or country... being able to accept that Cleopatra was Greek and of Caucasian skin does not amd should not make ANYONE of ANY race feel less than or angry.. and being able to accept these facts doesn't in anyway diminish or take away from the great people from history that WERE actual black.. I will never understand why anyone would want to change history or get upset accepting and acknowledging that there were great rulers that WERE Caucasian. . Just as there were many who were black, or Indian, or Roman or any other ethnicity... denying these things does not help ANYONE and doesn't make anyone or any race or ethnicity better than another.. ALL humans are EQUALLY capable of great accomplishments.. we need to stop trying to change or cancel history to fit a story or narrative we are personally TRYING to push on others. Accept and learn from history.. that is why so many study it and put so much effort into ensuring the REAL and true history is being preserved

Egypt for Egyptians! congratulations, it's a good documentary. greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

I am black but I do not accept what Netflix have done to Egyptian history and Cleopatra. Well done on this documentary

Thank you for this, it was a very thorough documentary and included a few facts that I was unaware of. Being Greek Cypriot myself I was not aware that Ptolemy I was a ruler of Cyprus at the time he became Pharoh of Egypt. It is so important to retell history using the most accurate sources and evidence available at the present time.I just wish that this was on Netflix and not that nonsense that misrepresents the great Pharoah Cleopatra. I have boycotted that so-called documentary as I feel it is an insult to Egyptians and Greeks and most importantly to world history.

Beautifully done. I’m so hoping Kathleen will find her tomb very soon.

Great documentary. Not only have you managed to make a better documentary than these Hollywood scumbags doctored up but you also remained unbiased presenting theories as well as the facts. Egyptian history and archeology is a gift to humankind that causes the most global excitement and wonder till today. I am in constant awe of the treasures of Egypt. I say it’s part of human history but belongs to the Egyptian people first and foremost. Present day Egyptians are the descendants of those miraculous ancient humans, no one can take that from them♥️🇪🇬

This is such a comprehensive and well-researched documentary! As a Greek woman living in Macedonia I feel very proud of my ancient ancestors and our history!! The Hellenistic era, the great contribution of Alexander the Great to the world, Cleopatra born of this era, a descendant of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, brought together so wonderfully two glorified civilizations, the Egyptian and Greek civilizations!! Alexandria, the city founded by Alexander the Great , the jewel of Egypt, where letters, arts and sciences flourished!! A center of culture founded by my ancient ancestors!! It makes sense that some would want to appropriate Cleopatra and fit her into their own history with ridiculous proofs... Congratulations!!! We Greeks and Egyptians are very proud of our ancestors, for what they have created and offered to the world!🙏♥️

I’m Australian and completely infatuated with Egyptian history. I was completely disgusted in the Netflix documentary and glad to see the truth being told here!

Amazing how Curtis was able to make a great documentary on such a small budget. Hint to netflix: All you need are better educated producers and directors.. someone like curtis would do wonders for your ratings and reputation.

Not Egyptian or Greek, but just a fellow lover of history! I actually watched the horrid "documentary" (we know which one) since I wanted to see for myself before criticising it. It was worse than just hearing the outrage about it, I felt like my brain was rotting from all the misinformation!! This was such a nice and relaxing watch; I ended up learning so much more about her than I thought. Thank you so much for honouring Cleopatra VII this way

Watching this, ( I’m greek), i was feeling that ms Martinez was representing my country, better than any contemporary greek archeologist would, even I know that she’s from the other side of earth.👍🙏🏻👏🏻🇬🇷🇩🇲

I support Egyptians 100%, I’m from England and have been obsessed with Ancient Egyptian history for most of my life, lost count of the amount of documentaries (real ones) I’ve watched and books I’ve read about ancient Egypt, their history is so rich and definitely something to be proud of course they’re protective of it, it’s infuriating that Jada picket just barges in and rewrite’s your history I’m so glad the Egyptian people are standing up and saying no.

5 minutes in and its better than the other ''Documentation".

I so love how quickly they threw this gem together , they know so much more than i remember . well done my experts !

Now that's what it's called a documentary. What a great effort, great footage, absolutely beautiful❤👏

We will not allow the new occupiers to penetrate our society, and we will stand on the lookout Thank you, Hawass, for your courage And all the love to our Greek brothers 🇪🇬 ♥ ️🇬🇷

I am an American and I love ancient Egyptian history. I'm glad to hear the true history from those actually educated in facts.

Finally, a real documentary... Thank you for this!

As Egyptian I’m so proud of my country , my culture , my own ancient Egyption civilization❤❤🇪🇬

As an Englishman, we were always taught Cleopatra was of Greek origin. Even when in the year 1961, the year I was born, Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra in the movie, it was always known that she was Greek. This is the documentary which I will be showing my grandchildren, not the woke Netflix version, which is an outright lie. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary!

Amazing documentary Curtis, i subscribed to your channels when i saw Nefertari documentary and i loved your passion to Ancient Egypt history and i thank you for this. On other hand still enjoying comments section, comments from people living overseas dreaming they are descendants of ancient Egyptian and call modern Egyptians who are actually born and raised in Egypt invaders and not real Egyptians, because these comments expose to the world the hate we receive because of Afrocentric movement who promoting black supremacy, that is the real reason for being upset. Not the series, not actress skin color and not even being documentary can upset us that far, but what upset us the using of this tools on cultural war declared on Egypt.

Beautifully done, simply beautiful. What a tragic, romantic and beyond beautiful story of this eternal woman, Cleopatra.

I am Egyptian and proud of this wonderful documentary that shows the world our great ancient civilization, thank youuu 🫶🏻❤❤❤❤
