The strong emphasis on Cleopatra's place in the Ptolomeic Dynasty is key. Well presented. Nice one! ✨👍

Wait. I need more!! 😅

So intriguing, thank you for the family tree, it makes it all less confusing.

i recently found ur channel and i love ur videos! would u consider using human-generated captions instead of autogenerated ones?? the automatic captions r kind of hard to follow as someone with auditory processing issues and i imagine its much more difficult for those who r hard of hearing.

Applaud for you no doubt one very important channel in information for us tank you

Love this channel and loved this post. Such a pity that the music was a bit too loud in places and I've struggled focusing on the story...

@Janitor Queen I am new to this channel and I don’t have anything to do with them 🥹 Regards from Australia!

I learned a lot about her and I got a lot of respect for her and also I feel bad that she made some bad some bad decisions that ultimately cost her everything. But history is filled with the same things.

Who wrote the song that goes “Cleo-patera”. ??

The music is a bit too much at times in an otherwise great video

Ptolomey managed to take over Egypt by claiming to be Alexander the greats secret brother, after his death (son of Philip the 2nd, alexanders dad) this is the only reason he pulled it off. As Alexander was seen as a God to the Egyptians. It worked, he then stole Alexander's body (which was due to be taken back to macedon) and had it taken to Alexandria, ptolomey was then buried with Alexander at one point I believe?) A brilliant lie that made him and kept his line of Pharoahs to cleopatra, a lot of her success is because of the romans running the showing. These were sitting pharaohs under romes control, hence Caeser etc being there when trouble developed. I'd say the backstory to Cleo is more interesting! Delve at your leisure. Eventually Caesers nephew (Octavias) went to war against Mark Anthony who had had kids with Cleo, and they committed suicide when Octavias and Caesers old legions came knocking for revenge to Caesers murders. Fascinating Forgive the spelling :)

Mark Antony was not involved in the assassination of Julius Caesar and Octavian did not go to war against him for revenge. Octavian was essentially forced to go after his former ally and rival because Antony proclaimed Cleopatra's supposed son with Caesar as the true heir of Caesar.

Cleopatra spoke 5 or more languages fluently, welcomed all nationalities to her country, was the richest ruler in the world during her reign and embraced the history of Egypt by following and styling herself as Isis. She was envied and loathed by the Male Rulers of the period and they actively conspired to bring an end to her sovereignty.

Love you guys, but the dialog mix levels on this are all over the place. Pick a decibel and stick to it, audio person! Oof the non-stop music makes it even worse. Pick your moments, my guy.

Pompey goes to Egypt to try to make an alliance with Ptolemy but the pharaoh kills him in order to make an alliance with ceasar which backfires and cleopatra ends up back on the throne. I’m 99% sure that’s what happens next

Loving the content. I watched so many and enjoyed them all. I did have a thought though. The show cites some historic artwork, but from what I can tell, not the modern artwork. I know that the production is probably well respecting the semantics of what's paid for and required to be cited. But shouldn't all creators be given credit for their work?

"Cleopadra" is the right pronunciation.

Thanks for the bait and switch job. This was very interesting but you have to pay for the rest of the story.

'. Because Cleopatra was from an invading force, she was not the last Pharoah.' - She wasn't invading force. Macedonians were viewed liberators, not invaders. She was legitimate Pharaoh. Ptolemies were acknolwedged as such by Egyptian priesthood. If they weren't Pharaohs, there neither were Nuubians and Libyans - and Egyptians did view them as Pharaohs and inlcuded on King lists.

She actually had red hair. The earliest depiction of her shows this. Possibly a relation to Rameses and Rameses II who ruled Egypt over a thousand years earlier. We only know they had red hair due to DNA tests on their mummified corpse.
