Cleopatra WAS white. She was a Ptolemy, and the Ptolemy dynasty were a Greek family who conquered Egypt and installed themselves on the throne as pharaohs. They were notoriously racist and inbred and Cleopatra was the first of her line that actually spoke Egyptian instead of Greek.
Archaeologist here. Not really racist, but xenophobic and classist. Because Ehypt was under Greek rule (after the Empire of Alexander fell) Greek was spoken as a common language. And definitely within the Greek political level. Greek was widely spoken as a common language. Italians spoke Greek in commerce, and Latin for oration. A lot of the Ptolemaic leaders didn't live in Egypt, but in other parts of the empires. Cleopatra knew several other languages fluently beside Ancient Egyptian due to the bredth of the Greek empires. When Alexander conquered Egypt he was overturning the previous rulers who were the Persians. The Egyptians largely saw this as a good thing. When Alexander died, the rule of Egypt fell to one of his close friends, Ptolemy. Inbreeding was one of the rules for Egyptian royalty since before the Greeks. Tutankhamun is the most famous example of Egyptian inbreeding gone wrong. If he hadn't been murdered for his parent's lineage then he would have likely died quite young regaurdless. The Ptolemies carried on Egyptian tradition as they did with most other Egyptian culture. The Ptolemies were 'Egyptianised', not the other way around.
I believe it, but skin color don't matter, but yeah you right, she was white or fair skin. My Gaea is Fair skin, but we still claim everyone as our kid, based on their heart, not their skin color.
This is what the real Cleopatra looked like…She was Macedonian and Greek European white woman. She had no African or Egyptian blood. She was pharaoh because her Greek family ruled Egypt for 300 years
@@Nina-xo555 Nope not brown at all! She wasn’t Egyptian. Why are you not getting this? She was a white woman that’s a fact! She was a Macedonian Greek woman. Her family was Macedonian Greek. She was only born in Egypt because her family ruled Egypt for 300 years. Cleopatra was a white woman. They even have a bust of her and she has white features a white persons nose. 🤣😂
Elizabeth Taylor was first actress to be paid $1 million for the role. That's at least $100,000,000 adjusted for inflation. Proof of how highly valued she was & what she could bring in at the box office.
No one knows how Cleopatra look liked, since all her statues were put underwater. There is a coin that is said to be her, in the coin she has a big hooked nose and a very strong chin. She wasn’t white or black but she was mixed. She may had olive skin, brown eyes, and curly dark hair.
Olive skin is white, do you know that ? It's some yellowish tanned skin. White skin is nuanced to yellowish or pinkish, or can be very pale. I'm from south European and I have dark eyes and hair and and my mom's are curlier. You guys are crazy to think that white people are only white with blond hair. What about Spanish people ? And Turkish people ? Are they all mixed for having olive skin, brown eyes and and dark hair and curly hair ?
And I have a question? This movie is historically accurate but I heard some fans say it's disappointing. Why?! Do you all hate this movie???!!! Because it's boring???!!! What about Queen Cleopatra on Netflix??? The original (1963) is better than the remake (Netflix)!!!!!
I am Greek and resent having African or Arian white like Elizabeth portray Cleaopatra! Sophia Loren the Italian actress would have been more realistic. When you go to the museums in Greece, you will find she had a thin hooked nose and strong chin on the coins, typical of many Greeks in Southern Greece who are caucasion with olive skin. Personally I do not identify with Nordic whites of Northern Europe as the Southern Europeans have a different look besides color, we are shorter, curvier bigger facial features, etc…still white/caucasion however not the Arian race that Hitler was trying to dominate during WW2. My family was murdered by the Germans for this reason due to racism.
Im sick of this argument about cleopatra. She wasn't white, she wasn't black , she would be more like my sons skin colour mixed, tanned but not white or black so both shut up 😊
Do you know that in south European countries people are a little tanned naturally ? And they're still European ? Does Spanish are not European ? Same goes with Italian and south France ?
Not now, no. But it was from 1963-1995, so it held the record for a little over 30 years. Box office budgets were not commonly in the hundreds of millions until the late 2000s; even now, if you check the top 75 most expensive films ever made when adjusted for inflation, Cleopatra ranks 33rd and is the only movie made before the 1990s to be on there. $31 million in 1963 is over $310 million today.
The Ptolemy dynasty were White Greeks who conquered Egypt and made themselves Pharoahs. They were also very racist and didn't even learn the local egyptian dialects and only spoke Greek.
This is a far more accurate depiction of Cleopatra than the netflix slop. It seems you need to look up Ancient Egyptian dna and the Ptolemy line Cleopatra is from.
She actually was. She was a Greek and they married only within their own family, so yeah, she had Mediterranean complexion, olive skinned like many so called "Whites" who are not white at all.
@@AlistaTudor They were darkskin, you can easily look it up. The white people took over when they raided and killed them and claimed their land. Stop that whitewashing, you guys have England lol.

You got to be kidding. Blacks lived in sub Sahara Africa. Which means south of the Sahara. Even to this day, there are very few blacks I'm North Africa. She also was Greek. And her family tree wasn't really a tree but a freaking branch. She was incredibly inbred.
@@andy-the-gardener no she wasn’t man, my ancestry are from Egypt, im descendant of Pharaoh ppl before we came to Somalia. Europeans like to steal and claim everything thats not theirs.
