Sad they didn’t have strong family values otherwise they could have been greater together

Thanks for the upload.

Wow. Learnt a lot of new stuff. 👽👍

I don’t think they were evil, they just wanted to play the Game of Thrones too

Great story, filling in multiple gaps in my knowledge of the great Caesar! much thanks. 👍

So many cleopatra

Did you know any salad can be made into a Cesar salad if you stab it enough?

Ya I do not agree period with regards to your question however I ❤ your presentation and have subscribed

And I thought my family was cutthroat!😂

I was lost by one minute and twenty-two seconds. 😅

Didn't Berenice had any children? Maybe some of her siblings survived?. What is told here is the official narrative dictated by the conqueres in this case rome.😁

Cleopatra had an older sister Cleopatra who was in cahoots with Berenice But she shouldn't have had a number since she wasn't a queen

😅great job about the very able sisters.

sounds like backstabbing at its finest

History often refers to female rulers, or just women in general as evil, but what they don't disclose is that these women were just trying to survive in a patriarchal society the best way they knew how... I feel sympathetic towards Arsinoe, considering that she was a teenager, and therefore still very much a child when she was murdered by her sister, Cleopatra. The fact that Cleopatra had it done where she was supposed to be protected under law, in the temple of the gods, is just heartbreaking to me. The poor girl must've been so frightened, and to die alone in such a violent manner... It breaks my heart.

She lived by the sword and she died by the sword. Also there's countless women that existed back then that did not partake in the heinous acts and crimes that Cleopatra and her sister partook of. Blaming their actions on the patriarchy is a very modern way of "thinking", and it's not historically accurate at all. Both those girls enjoyed their absolute power and political control over everything, they enjoyed the politics of their day, and they enjoyed the cruelty's they dished out almost nonstop (Cleopatra loved to test poison's on commoners), and they did all of this of their own free will and volition. Hard to claim those sisters were living in a patriarchy when they ran Egypt independently of Rome, and were considered politically equal to Rome. So let's place their bad actions on their own hands, where they belong, and not at the feet of the men of their time, where the blame definitely does not belong.

@@mymothersdiva The western religious books and history writers support a watered down view of historical facts...By far the most telling sign is the most obvious which is the physical destruction of ancient artifacts bearing the features of African people...ever noticed all the noses in particular are destroyed on statues and other artifacts bearing human resemblance, Look at the great sphinx, you can still see the African features even without the nose..it's really annoying that people in the west don't understand how old "ancient" Egypt actually is and more importantly why their story and place in history was high jacked by western Scholars starting with the Greeks and enshrined with the Roman narrative. Kemet was Egypt before Egypt was a name...Research deep enough and a whole other world will come into view😁

On the shaft? 🤔🧐 PAUSE

I never knew she had sisters😂

It is Liz she played Cleopatra

You should make it clear that you are referring to *Julius* when you say the name Caesar. By not giving the man's name, you are only talking about *any* emperor. You need to refer to (each) Caesar by their given name. By naming 'Caesar' as part of the first triumvirate, you have only named the *title* of Caesar, (which was the Roman word for emperor) but it was not exclusive to Julius. Caesar was the name of the leader of Rome and there were *twelve* Caesars including Julius Caesar; plus Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian.

Agreed, the older sister doesnt seem evil, her father failed at the ruling so she took over, its not like she killed him which apparently she should have. She didnt seem like the best companion but she seemed like a pretty solid ruler…and cleopatra’s rule was helped by the sister’s previous policies

One of Cleopatras favorite past times was testing poison's on random people kidnapped off the streets. Definitely not a good person.

Seems a rather negaive spin on Arsinoe. Doesn't tally with other information.

If you read the contemporary literature from the time, or look at some of the surviving statues, she wasn’t really beautiful at all. She was, however, highly motivated and very intelligent. She knew how to play the political game.
