Beautiful or not, she was so charismatic, witty, and a great conversationalist, enough to remember her after thousands of years. That is what you call an _icon_

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!

I've always admired Cleopatra. This is an interesting documentary. I have learned things that I didn't know. She was a powerful woman.

The name "Cleopatra" is beautiful.

I am Greek with some egyptian blood. I'm so proud of this heritage. The greek-egyptian hybrid that flourished in egypt after Alexander the great conquered egypt was so beautiful. Greece and egypt have this beautiful love relationship that makes me emotional. I was actually reading the rosetta stone a few weeks ago (well, the greek part of it!) and i could understand so much of the text... It's just so profound that a 2,000 year old tomb stone from egypt could literally speak to me. Love to all.

You should do more Egyptian history or maybe some Western African's empires. Anything be good, I'm just history geek.

It's kind of a testament to how much impact Cleopatra had when so many people don't realise there were SIX OTHERS and she was number 7

The woman known to history as Cleopatra is actually Cleopatra VII.

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.

What a sad and tragic life she had. The death of Marc Antony brought tears to my eyes. RIP Cleopatra x

I'm glad that in this documentary she is depicted more accurately and fairly. It is quite obvious she was actually a very kind person who grew up in a hard place, and her reasons were out of love. She was brilliant, yes, but she had a heart and did most things for love.

Cleopatra's life was powerful and exciting, unknown and 😨 scary

Great work!!! I have always been fascinated by Cleopatra but few admire her only for her beauty...thank you for emphasizing on her great knowledge and intelligence

Just awesome. Thank you.

The best video ever made about queen cleopatra! I have never seen so much love and respect shown to her true self than here. Made me cry when she lost anthony since you made her seems so human thank you

Tbh her ending was sad,as well as what happened to her children was a gruesome thing...I think she didn't nothing wrong..and did whatever any male monarch would do to rescue himself from their enemies and to reserve his throne...she just gets villainize just because of her being a woman monarch in the rows of men monarchs...may be she really Atlast fell in love with Anthony...

You didn't talk about her daughter Cleopatra Selene who became queen of Numidia later.

I love this video. History is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

"one of the best-known women in the history of mankind" kind of sums it up really...

An absolutely incredible Legend.

Cleo is amazing and so were her ancestors in every circle of life

Thanks for this video ☺️

Thank you! I never knew how she died. But she was truly remarkable till the end. ❤

You are my favorite channel! Thank you for your hardwork.

Okay... that ending, so so sad.. literally made my tear up!

Beautiful art. Great video. Thanks for making and sharing.

Enjoyed this Video Thank You

I love Egypt and I want to learn more about so this is great thank you 💓💓

Love this ! Ty this was put together very well

What a talented yet conniving woman! Simply amazing!

I love history and thanks of this video to refresh my knowledge..

I love Cleopatra she's was such a powerful woman ,great video

Up at 4 in the morning listening to one of my UKposts faves cause who doesn’t love a great voice and history

Beautiful story lines

This was one of the best historical accounts of Cleopatra.

Watch this instead of the netflix fanfiction

I'm actually watching this after another video of reconstruction of her looks. She was beautiful...

Very important documents....thanks from Phillipine..

Magical things happened back then. And I'm so fasenatated by this 😳

I AM BLESSED EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY

I felt so sad for Cleopatra. it's proves that she has a true love for her husband mark antony.

I really learnt a lot frm cleopatra history, she’s indeed a strong woman nd a legend❤ bt i feel so sad abt the death of her children nd her end 😢i love Greek mythology nd Egyptian history

Her planning and moves were all perfect. She fell only because of a near impossibility, the teenaged heir of Julius Caesar, with very limited political, military, even life experience, nor time to have great allies amongst the elite or common people Octavian somehow rose and prevailed, a great historical titan he became is the only thing that caused her downfall.

Cleopatra was born in Alexandria ( conquered during Great Alexander era) but she was of Greek ancestry via Ptolemy-Macedonian families ( were central Macedonia in Greece is located these days) .

You are simply good

Thank you so much

I feel like I'm back in high-school except w ears on. Sooo good!

i don't kwow why but her history seems like a legend it's like a tragedy well written never forget that all of these beautiful story were not always true

I consider cleopatra to be one of the best humans to ever have lived, she was good at pretty much everything she did and she was incredibly intelligent

Good video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Egyptian history is really interesting

Romeo and Juliet who? More like Marc Antony and Cleopatra...kind of

Learning about Ancient Egypt can be cool sometimes

if she had been black, Plutarch would have noted it, and it would have been evident in sculpture, on coins, and in pictures.

I have spent my childhood in Alexandria Cleopatra was quite an inaspirationth we read all about her there was a suburb called Cleopatra and another one Ceasar Campus the region had been indeed that so we lived surrounded by the memories of Cleopatra and knew details of the way she lived and adopted her beauty tricks

I appreciate the hard work that went into this piece, thank you! Please consider professional editing in the future as there were a number of pronunciation and usage errors. Fascinating story!

Very good and well presented!

I kind of want to name my daughter Cleo after watching this I feel inspired

History nerd and love your stuff

love your work

This is amazing 🤩 thank you. Could you do southern African history too

Thank you

Wonderful ❤️

Eyy Road to 1M subscribers Thank you for teaching us

I'll be watching this by genuine people who cares about history and it's people, instead of the Netflix documentary.

I'm absolutely speechless, her life was wild man

Thank goodness

Julius was so much cuter than Cesar we should totally just stab Cesar😭😂😂😂

I am INDIA I love Egyptian history 🥰

I find this very intriguing.

Wow Cleopatra & Mark Anthony Julius Caesar great history

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. WE ARE EGYPTIANS, WE ARE VERY UNIQUE!

"You gon need the book of the dead after this, cuz you gon be what? DEAD N GONE." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wonderful.

The queen👑👸 had so many lovers 😍and husbands that I often get confused🤔

Wow What a woman Big respect

Interesting history..

I'm impressed

There were actually several Cleopatra's. Just like the Kings of England and France. The first, the second, etc.

Cleopatra VII Thea Philopater, of the House of Ptolemy, She of Sedge and Bee.

amazing

My favorite

I've just noticed all these afrocentrists in this comment section would never reply back when someone told them Cleopatra was greek

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!

Interesting video

I AM BLESS IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE

A other good vidoe dude keep it up you rock love Egypte mythology

Yo they really did love each other

I think the story of Romeo and Juliet was inspired by Anthony and Cleopatra, especially how they died.

As a kid I always thought it was cleopatria, I still kinda did, until recently lol

Cleopatra making me proud of my roots🙌🏼🇬🇷🇲🇰💕❤️

Just because Cleopatra had a big nose. doesn't mean shes not beautiful . Small noses are eruopeon ideas of beauty.

NAPAKAGANDA NG MGA VIDEO MO SIR, SANA MAS MARAMING HISTORY TUNGKOL SA MGA EGYPTIAN

Interesting. In the very first illustration of Cleopatra in your video, the face really resembles that of Claudette Colbert, an actress who starred as Cleopatra in the very good 1934 movie.

Better than horrible Netflix show….

Good Bless Afternoon Everyone Happy Bless Wednesday She Was A Queen And Historic Queen For Life

Thanks

Nice history...I come that place 3 x

I have a second opinion. There is much evidence to support even the coins presented in the document do not reflect her true visage. Could it be the less precise tools for minting currency of ancient times? Cleo was in fact one of the first women of power to immolate her feminist qualities like that of a man or utilize prominent facial features to emulate her power-such as a distinct chin or nose. If you look at some of the illustrations from other great people in power such as Charlemagne or Nero or even Mary Queen of Scotts, Impressionism( incorrect time period, I know) and power were two blended assets to articulating authority through out the world.

CLEOPATRA 👑👑👑👑👑
