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

Last but not least, she was actually a Jedi.

That tongue twister joke was wild

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.

Everyone got unique names and then there’s Marc Anthony

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

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

AI does not know what Cleopatra looked like.

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

"She was fluent in 9 languages" duolingo be crying

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

I went from Percy Jackson fan to watching a 3 hour video about Greek mythology 😂

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

Thumbnail: "Tongue" 7.2 million: "I'm intrigued"

Cleopatra had that throat game confirmed

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

“I bet she was good at-“ 😳 “-tongue twisters.” 😮‍💨

9 languages is kind of insane when you think about it

Cinnamon, Rose, and Myrrh. Got it ❤

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

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

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

you're wrong, she didn't kill herself with an asp, that was only used for dramatic effects for movies. she actually killed herself with a poisoned hairpin. if you're going to talk about history, at least make it true.

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

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.

"She was greek" Netflix: Stop the cap

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

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

"She was actually greek" Tell Netflix that

So she had the real beauty: knowledge and charisma ❤

Still waiting for 3 scatters.

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 🙃🙃

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

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

She wasn't known for her beauty! In was her cleverness and charismatic personality!

I'm from Egypt❤

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.

u forgot something: she had charisma level over 9000

Beauty. Knowledge and charisma.

Good job bro❤

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.

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.

But someone's grandmother said she just knew she was black. Sooo insightful

Great short!

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

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

Cleopatra was a Black mother, so she is a Black woman and her daughter Cleopatra VIII married a Black man from Mauritania❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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

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.

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.

It wouldn't have been from a snake bite, though. Those things seriously hurt, and she would've had painless poisons on hand.

You nailed it again! This video is so entertaining!

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

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

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

Cleopatra was not known for her beauty, but she was known for her intelligence and societal status.

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.

Thank you for the video! Very informative! ❤️

🔥🔥

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.

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

I love Egypt, the style of clothes is everything omg

Dope facts!

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-

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

That's an epic history!

Awesome video 👌

The ending “HERE ARE SOME facts” 😂

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

Fascinating

Love this perspective! We've been down a similar rabbit hole. 🐇🕳️

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

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

Love the drawings

Very inspiring

"I bet she was good at tongue twisters" 💀

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

I’m so high this was so good!

"I bet she was good at tongue twister"... 🤣🤣🤣

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

Imma need that cleopatra "tongue twister" photo for later

In fact, Cleopatra was not the most beautiful queen as believed, BUT she was fully aware of how to use her feminine power more than any previous queen, so it is believed that she was able to overthrow so many men with her attractiveness.

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

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

Went to egypt 🇪🇬

This is the best video. I like it very much. I always support you. Please keep making good videos in the future.

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.

And most importantly: She wasn't Black.

I like history a lot .

That's awesome

“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 ✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿”

That AI got me actin up bruv💀💀💀

She also rizzed Julius Caesar up so he would kill her 13 yr old brother (who she was married to even though she’s 8 years older than him) so she could be the ruler of Egypt.

Nice!

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

Cleopatra is now my history Waifu

So ironically there was atleast 7 princesses named Cleopatras & the main one we all know about is Cleopatra VII. Figured I would add this because I think that is some cool information to add for fun! I was pretty happy to learn this one day & figured I would share. ❤

You are wrong. Netflix said she was black
