UPDATE! Monetization is back! You did it Noble ones! I think the Twitter pressure, the views, plus Shad's video did it. I was given direct contact with the ad sense team, and they put monetization back. I calculated how much revenue I lost these 4 days, it's a lot, but the donations covered that completely and surpassed it. So now, I'm officially independently funded, and thanks to you I can keep posting even if they do this again. Will they? Not sure. Should I remove this upload on Cleopatra to be safe? NOT A CHANCE. This video stays. Onward onto the next battle. Some haters rejoiced of my demonetization and hoped I would stop speaking. Your support and donations turned me into armoured Metatron. Armoured Metatron cannot be silenced.

Or something like "Jesus is my savior" is a personal truth... it doesnt mean the Earth is flat, simply because the person believes in Jesus. Something like "Jesus is my savior" and science can be held simoultaniously, not being mutually exclusive to each other. To that person, anyhow.

If they were going to make a dramatic documentary about the life of Cleopatra, they should have at least done it right and did proper research. Her being the wrong race is not even the only problem with it, there's many others, like the romans wearing stuff that they've never even wore back then. That whole fiasco is offensive to multiple groups of people, especially Egyptians, and just plain disrespectful to Cleopatra.

She distances herself from "west-feminism" with an approach from a "black perspective". So in short: Over like 20 scientific books she analyzed about egyptian history, every was to european for her. Dunno if thats true, but that impression i got. As I understood even cleopatra wasnt black, actually she was "black".

After ALL the LIES and HISTORY you have changed ESAU? SERIOUSLY? JADA IS A JACKAZZZ. With that said, Esau, you have rewritten history of every continent. TRUE brown Yisrael were located in greece. They were called Grecians and Greeks! So, your so called Cleopatra was probably brown or a Negro mix at the least. It is not persoanl, it is just business. Of course, you would have NO CLUE because you are a child of the matrix, television and bogus public educational system. Let’s get the definition of Ham out of the so-called Jewish generated Zondervan’s Pictorial Bible Dictionary: “Ham - The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of the eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; NOT THE NEGROS, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.” The original Ham was dark brown. The definition of Ham above tells us t things: 1. The TRUE egyptian is a dark brown skin tone. 2. The TRUE people of Yisrael are brown also, not caucasoid. The present so-called Egyptians have been transplanted in the those lands, PERIOD. Genesis 10:6-20 - And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. {10:7} And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. {10:8} And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. {10:9} He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. {10:10} And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. {10:11} Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, {10:12} And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. {10:13} And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, {10:14} And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. {10:15} And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, {10:16} And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, {10:17} And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, {10:18} And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. {10:19} And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. {10:20} These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. Also, if she is greek, why in the heck are you FAKE egyptians crying about it???????

“I imagine her to look like me :)” and that right there is the heart of the issue. People make themselves the center of the universe-their interests, their emotions, their issues, their experience.

Even if they just had a disclaimer at the start that said something like “ we recognize that the actress for cleopatra has a darker complexion then would be historically accurate. However, no other actress we could find was able to embody her personality and character the way she could, and as historians , we have decided that it’s more important to accurately depict her personality and character rather then accurately depict skin tone, we have no intention of erasing the Egyptian identity or spreading misinformation “ I would have had so much more respect for them if they said that.

Yes it very clearly was an ego trip on jadas part. It's clear she thinks herself superior and a black queen but because she's so ignorant and instead of making a documentary about actual black queens she appropriated a famous one and retconned her to be black with the most loose theories to back her claims up.

Thank you Metatron from the bottom of my heart. We all have to keep fighting for factual truth

After ALL the LIES and HISTORY you have changed ESAU? SERIOUSLY? JADA IS A JACKAZZZ. With that said, Esau, you have rewritten history of every continent. TRUE brown Yisrael were located in greece. They were called Grecians and Greeks! So, your so called Cleopatra was probably brown or a Negro mix at the least. It is not persoanl, it is just business. Of course, you would have NO CLUE because you are a child of the matrix, television and bogus public educational system. Let’s get the definition of Ham out of the so-called Jewish generated Zondervan’s Pictorial Bible Dictionary: “Ham - The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of the eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; NOT THE NEGROS, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.” The original Ham was dark brown. The definition of Ham above tells us t things: 1. The TRUE egyptian is a dark brown skin tone. 2. The TRUE people of Yisrael are brown also, not caucasoid. The present so-called Egyptians have been transplanted in the those lands, PERIOD. Genesis 10:6-20 - And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. {10:7} And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. {10:8} And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. {10:9} He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. {10:10} And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. {10:11} Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, {10:12} And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. {10:13} And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, {10:14} And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. {10:15} And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, {10:16} And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, {10:17} And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, {10:18} And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. {10:19} And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. {10:20} These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. Also, if she is greek, why in the heck are you FAKE egyptians crying about it???????

Egyptian history is absolutely precious. Beyond the amazing stories and architecture, no other country can connect us with our very distant past quite like Egypt. Without the Rosetta Stone, how would we have known about Babylon and Sumer? How could we have translated cuneiform and learned about Gilgamesh? What other nation fought off the Sea Peoples and actually won? There will always be people trying to erase the past in the name of their cause. We cannot allow this.
