    Cleopatra was also the first pharaoh of her family that actually spoke egyptian. Cleopatra's dynasty of rulers (the ptolemies) were greek and they refused to learn egyptian, as this language was associated with poor people. They only spoke greek, as this was the noble language; all laws were written in greek and then translated to egyptian. Cleopatra was the first pharaoh of her dynasty to actually learn egyptian. She did care for the poor people and the people loved her back. She was a very charismatic leader. It is a shame that she was the last egyptian pharaoh ever. The ones before her didn't care as much as she did.

Also she knew that when a country has rulers of foreign blood that came in and conquer the land, the rulers must try extra hard to improve the wellbeing of the local population, because otherwise the poor people will hate the rich foreigner rulers. And that she did. She improved the quality of life and wellbeing of her subjects. Local egyptians were convinced she is the reincarnation of the egyptian goddess isis. She was a very smart and capable leader.

    Cleopatra is extremely fascinating. She was not just a pharaoh. She was a mathematician, scientist, created makeup (used charcoal for eyeliner for medical reasons and taught her people about the safe uses of charcoal as eye makeup) She was thought as a magical beauty BUT no one actually knows what she even looks like because when Augustus won the war, he made it a point to erase her image completely which included removing coins that had her face on them. She was even a great leader in war and fought in the front lines with her army. Insane!! ❤

      She was indeed incredible - can you imagine this fierce woman at the front line of an Egyptian army? The Romans, professional as they were, still might have been a bit freaked out! Of course, because we can't have anything nice, Rome took Egypt from her - which, figures.

    Loved this! I know you already covered an Egyptian pharaoh but before Cleo there was another really famous female pharaoh (and the first official female pharaoh) named Hatshepsut, she presented herself in a masculine way in paintings and statues in order to maintain the authority given to pharoahs (who were all male before her), her rule was one of the most prosperous in their entire history, and the successor she had been gearing up to leave things to ended up trying to erase her from history by smashing temples and statues of hers, but it didn't work because we still know about her today. Before her there were queens who ruled Egypt like Nefertiti but Hatshepsut was the first to assume the title of pharaoh. She's really cool and I'd recommend anyone who's interested in Cleo to check her out! (Not me calling her Cleo as if she's my bestie 💀)

    • @fabianhale845
      @fabianhale845 2 года назад +1

      Hatshepsut wasn’t the first female pharaoh. And Nefertiti came after her. And while her successor, or more likely her successor’s successor, did attack her monuments and images, that was just increase his own legitimacy for ruling. It wasn’t anything malicious.

I clicked on it quizzically because I could think of worse female rulers and men by the dozens. I was left with more respect for her after watching than before and never once did I think she was "evil". It all comes down to women trying to survive (without a man) pictured as evil ie think back to Lilith and Eve. For wanting to have a choice in their lives. I can't believe history is so biased. I used to think history was a matter-of-fact, but in reality it's just the story written by those in power who wish to keep that power.

    I have to be honest, I'm proud that I was lucky enough to learn the real history of Cathrine the Great and Cleopatra. Cathrine, my 10th grade history teacher was big feminist so I learned the whole story! Also, at age 10 I remember I had to do a history report so I saw a book on Cleopatra and read it front to back. She was so cool! I know a lot of people aren't that lucky so I'm thankful I got to learn this.

    It's interesting hearing your perspective on Yoko. It's obvious how much John Loved Yoko! He Adored Her. That's All that matters. The music that she and Sean inspired was Beautiful. Double Fantasy is a wonderful Album. I never understood all the negative stories and press about her. Understand, I was a Senior in High School when Double Fantasy came out. I grew up with The Beatles.
    We weren't meant to know the Real Yoko. I admire her for standing her ground and doing right by his Memory.
    I bet she's a pretty Cool Lady.

    I love your channel, I've been following since COVID started when you were just doing MMMM. I only have ONE suggestion- do NOT blame teachers for not being able to teach you these things. I am a teacher and trust me, I wish nothing more than to have awesome discussions and research projects that report like you do- FACTS. However, the curriculum is dictated to us. It is hard, so hard to have any creative freedom. Make a video about it. About how education ended up in the dumpster in America. We didn't teach you these things because we aren't allowed to. I would love to see a video told by you in which you explain how we ended up with the pipeline system. How education policy is more corrupt than many people imagine.

      I had a friend who was a teacher in Guatemala. Same thing. He actually deviated from the curriculum, and when they finally caught him, they fired him. He just refused to conform at that point.
      Now he’s broke and so desperate, to the point that we had a problem that ended our friendship 12 years ago, yet, he just wrote me a few weeks ago, without even asking how I was or apologizing for what he did; just to ask me for $200. It must be rock bottom for him to ask me of all people.
