Crazy Facts About Queen Cleopatra 🇪🇬  

PART 2: ru-vid.comivRZQIczAzM (TY FOR 10 MILLION!!! + CORRECTIONS BELOW) Don't forget to leave a like if you enjoyed this video, and subscribe if you want to see more of this sort of content! CORRECTIONS: 1. It was important of me to have said that Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek - not just Greek. 2. By today's standards, she may not be described as 'beautiful' as she is in the dialogue here. However, as many of you have pointed out, her intelligence and charisma are what made her attractive. 3. As far as skin colour/ethnicity goes - Cleopatra is known to have come from a long line of inbreeding, such was the norm for the Ptolemies. However, due to an intermarriage with the Macedonian Greek Seleucid Dynasty, there was an influence of Persian and Sogdian Iranian Ancestry. This means she was likely neither black nor white, and more of an 'olive' skin tone. This is obviously a subject of intense debate, i'm not suggesting what I say here to be 100% accurate - that's why I didn't focus on skin colour and I only refer to it as what is 'likely' or 'unlikely' based on the general consensus among historians! Thanks again for watching, If any of you have any additional information to add i'm always happy to read the comments!

You forgot, she also inspired dozens and dozens of different slot machine themes

Cleopatra wasn't necessarily considered the most attractive woman around, but was described as incredibly enchanting and seductive

Some say she really wasn't that beautiful, but she was extremely attractive due to her inteligence and charisma edit: she had Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Taaaalent, heney!!! Sorry, I had to do that

Cinnamon, Rose, and Myrrh. Got it ❤

Last but not least, she was actually a Jedi.

Fun fact: It's very possible that Cleopatra has descendants alive today. After her death, Cleopatra's children were taken to Rome and ultimately placed in the care of Octavia, who was Marc Antony's wife. Octavia was said to be a noble and humane woman. Despite Cleopatra having had a very open affair with her husband, Octavia made sure that Cleopatra's children were educated and found them places in high society. Her daughter married the king of Numidia and had children. Several generations of her descendants are documented and some scholars speculate that Zenobia of Palmyra may have been among Cleoaptra's descendants. Her descendants regularly married people outside of their own ethnicity and moved from country to country, meaning her descendants could be scattered all over the world.

Everyone got unique names and then there’s Marc Anthony

Cleopatra not only had a high IQ, but she was a very highly intelligent woman who spoke 12 languages and was very well educated. A super great lady and leader of Egypt. One of my favorite ancient Queens. I have others but she takes first place. Love the Egyptian culture and history as the Egyptian civilization was one of the greatest and most important.

“She wasn’t dangerously beautiful, but beautifully dangerous” - Someone

Yeah, I have also heard she was not attractive, but her power and leadership was what attracted so many men to her. Regardless, she is always portrayed as a striking beauty.

She wasn’t known for her beauty, she was known for her wit and charm.

She was known for much more than just beauty. She was also known for her intelligence. Obviously if she knew several languages.

"She was fluent in 9 languages" duolingo be crying

She was also nicknamed “Golden Lips” by Caesar as a reference to her mind-boggling brain game.

9 languages is kind of insane when you think about it

So she had the real beauty: knowledge and charisma ❤

“She was Greek” Netflix- “yeah about that, we don’t really give a shit…”

She actually wasn’t known for her beauty, she was quite plain. However, she was amazingly intelligent and cunning and had an aura about her that drew people to her.

I think Julius Ceasar said Cleopatra was good with her tounge...😮

She was NOT known for her beauty. In fact, some may have even called her unattractive. It was her mind, wit, personality that was so enchanting. She was exceptionally smart and quick.

she actually wasnt beautiful but she was attractive and charming because of her intelligence and charisma

"She was greek" Netflix: Stop the cap

I read she was not conventionally attractive at all but her personality was so charming that it made her irresistible to men .

She wasn't known for her beauty. She was rather plain looking. There was a lot of incest in her family to keep the blodline "pure". She was however intelligent, educated and very charming. That's why men found her interesting. An educated woman was very uncommon back then.

“She was black…. Because my grandmother said so..”

Some say she wasn't beautiful. But you have to remember beauty was very different 2,000 years ago. Moreover she was praised for her intelligence and charisma which made her beautiful.

u forgot something: she had charisma level over 9000

"What If I told you cleopatra had that DAWG in her?"

Beauty. Knowledge and charisma.

Julius Caesar literally paused a war to take a cruise down Nile with her which speaks volumes about the kind of person she was, she was intelligent and charismatic. She wasn't wasn't just a good lay.

"She was actually greek" Tell Netflix that

She have the gift of gab She moved strategically, she was not that pretty. But she knew how to talk, and she knew what she wanted and how to get it. That's what made her more look as though she was prettier.

She was funny too. She had a great sense of humor.

She wasn’t considered “conventionally attractive” she was charming.

I learned in school that she wasn’t physically as attractive as most think, but it was her mind and her ability to charm others. The girl wrapped herself in a carpet to get send to Julius Caesar

I remember my grandmother saying to me, "I don't care what they tell you in school , Cleopatra was an Alien "

Ok actually, she did not kill herself with an asp. This is quite long be warned. She actually was captured and imprisoned in her chambers after an invasion of Egypt. Now, she had a maid in there right? Events leading up to this; So she was in love with what’s his face who stabbed himself with a sword. Why? BECAUSE THE POSTAL SERVICE SUCKED THATS WHY. Basically, someone sent her a message saying he was dying, so she got all depressed. Then some IDIOT send that guy a letter saying Cleopatra was dead. That idiot was traveling to see her even in death and just stabbed himself. Then he got another letter saying “ignore last letter, she is NOT dead do NOT stab self with sword” so now he had to travel again and he got to cleopatra, died in her arms, cleopatra was trapped in her chambers. And her maid took a poison from a plant along the Nile and put it on the tip of a pointy golden hairpin. They both died. The asp thing is a rumor from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet Yes I am an Egypt nerd, how did you know? I bet no one will like this or even read it 🙃🙃

Want some of the perfume. Completely obsessed with the idea of ancient fragrances.

That tongue twister joke was wild

Cleopatra queen of drama and romance..Her love life is still sparking debates and raising eyebrows like a blockbuster soap opera 🌟💔👑

She wasn’t known for her beauty, she was known for her charm. She had an irresistible presence

Fun fact about her lover Marc Anthony. He actually rose from the dead, learned fluent Spanish and became a world famous artist

They say that Cleopatra had many many men wanting her not because of physical beauty but because of how intelligent she was and how well she ruled. They said she was physically okay. But she was intelligent and seductive so that’ll get you places-

We’re a military family and got stationed in Abq and honestly it’s been really scary. I’ve lived in Los Angeles my whole life so I’m used to city life but I’ve never felt so uneasy just doing every day things. People here take pride in where they’re from which is amazing. But I’ve noticed people that move here, have a hard time adjusting.

I’m learning more than I learn from my history teacher 💀😭

Dont listen to the people saying she wasn't pretty. Her father had many, many daughters and chose the prettiest as his favorite, to let her have the best of the best. Which is why she was so talented, she was literally groomed into being perfect

She was in fact not known for her beauty as she was not too physically attractive, but her intelligence and leadership skills, causing people to see more of her inner beauty than outer

Don't forget why she was called the "golden mouth"

"I bet she was good at tongue twisters" 💀

The ending “HERE ARE SOME facts” 😂

My grandmother told me :"I don't care what they say , Cleopatra was Chinese "

Cleopatra: The Greek queen who could outsmart Caesar, charm a snake, and still have time to perfect her eyeliner. Proof that even in ancient times, Greeks knew how to keep it legendary and fabulous!

"I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was a thug."

1: It was her charm and intelligence that attracted men not her looks 2: I can confirm the scent of rose and cinnamon smells delicious together. I’ve mixed other ingredients with it as incense cones and but that’s top secret. It’s quite an alluring smell and sure that made her even more attractive

A crazy fact as well... Marc Anthony held a splendid party for her. Every dish served was better or more extravagant than the one previous. Cleopatra wasn't impressed and said she could have something worth way more. She asked for a cup of vinegar then put one of her Pearl earrings in it. It dissolved and she drank it. There's a painting of the party.

Cleopatra wasn’t known for her beauty but her cleverness. Hollywood made people believe that

“Cleopatra was actually Greek!” Jaida Smith: “I’m just gonna actively deny that.” *Edit* Can sum up the argument below against this in the words “Mixed✌🏿kid ✌🏿goodnight ✌🏿kid ✌🏿kid ✌🏿ZERO ✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿”

Women like her made everything make sense and could make you feel like the only man in the world when she talked to you. Some say she was so seductive she could enter your subconscience mind and when she got in, only death could get her out. The book called art of seduction explains all her tricks from how to talk to a person, how she studied a person and how she made them fall inlove and made men take their lives for her

Fun fact: One of the Ceasers actually wrote about how good she was at those tongue twisters…

I met her In real life, her name is Louisa Scarrott - Love You Forever Girl .

That AI got me actin up bruv💀💀💀

She is known for her beauty, but was considered quite unattractive to look at. Her beauty came from her charisma, how she spoke, and her intelligence

More fun facts: 1. Her first husband was Julius Caesar 2. Mark Antony (her final husband) was close friends with Caesar up until his death where he pronounced his will and started the “2nd Triumvirate” with 2 others to avenge his death among other things. 3. According to Caesar in Plutarch’s “Life of Caesar” Cleopatra was the most beautiful woman he had met in his life time no matter where he looked he could not find one as perfect as her. 4. Also according to Plutarch, she used to brag about the love bites that Caesar gave her

Cleo slays

“I bet she was good at tongue twisters” Me *dirty minded*

“I don’t care what they tell you, my grandma told me Cleopatra was black.” 😂

And most importantly: She wasn't Black.

Mark was her lil chump he fell in love with a Black Queen Cleopatra!!!💯😎

Cleopatra is now my history Waifu

Imma need that cleopatra "tongue twister" photo for later

I’m sure Caeser would say she was good at tongue twisters 💀💀💀

Im proud that im an egyptian

She wasn't actually known for her beauty but she could charm the scales off a snake.

"Nah bro, she was a black queen"

An old copy of National Geographic I found contained a scratch n sniff sample of Cleopatra's perfume, or what historians suppose it would have smelled like and it was simply divine. If memory serves, blue lotus was in it as well, among other ingredients.

She wasn't a beauty she was highly intelligent and charismatic and actually looked like Margaret Thatcher

cinnamon, rose and myrrh Cleopatra's signature fragrance

she wasn’t known for her beauty she was known for her personality

This was 183627 times more accurate than the Netflix documentary 💯

Most historians now agree the story of Cleopatra committing suicide by being bitten by an asp is a myth, and she was poisoned while in captivity. The most plausible cause of death was poisoning either by her own hand or by he captors. The mythology of the asp was most likely a Roman creation to hide the fact that she had been executed while in Roman custody.

The thumbnail tricked me 💔

She was not known for her beauty, she was known for her magnetism, different thing.

Came straight to the comments and was not disappointed😂😂😂

She was a Egyptian that seemed wisdom and traveled out and came back

Why does the narrator sound like John Cleese? Hahaha

She basically did "the thing" with important people, like Caesar, and Antony❤

Cleopatra is so fine bro 😭

Interesting fact, Cleopatra was said to resemble Aphrodite in some ways and even ares

_Not very democratic of him though._ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm a perfume girl. I love scents. And i really would love to smell this concoction of rose, cinnamon and myrrh especially in those days where it was all natural. That's what makes me love life the most. How they figured out how to use things we used in everyday life but no synthetic stuff.

You should've mentioned that she rizzed up Julius Caesar.

I’m so high this was so good!

this video was more accured then the entirety of the cleopatra document from netflix

Marc Anthony time traveled. No wonder some of his songs get you to dance so much

Fun fact: she was born closer to the moon land than she was the last pyramid built
