They are probably the only ancient civilization that put a lot of focus on appearance. Even recent towards the 1800s barely any Euro wore makeup and women looked pretty manly and raggedy lol.

Most beautiful women I met were rude and slept around with multiple guys including ones that already had a girlfriend.
Beauty is not just a look but the intelligence within that radiates out, power of a queen has always proven irresistible!
Plutarch wrote that Cleopatra charmed with her voice, intellect and manners, but her appearance was neither unique nor dazzling. Ugly Cheopatra wasn't, but still quite ordinary according to the beauty ideals and standards of her time. Although the pictures and statues tell us that Cleo had a long sharp chin, a large hooked nose, heavy cheeks and a narrow and slightly sunken face which were possibly the result of Ptolemaic inbreeding.

I am Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN. I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him. Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like? With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans. WE ARE EGYPTIANS, WE ARE VERY UNIQUE!

I am from Egypt and cleopatra wasn't black 👑🇪🇬🇪🇬🤫
She was black 🤓 (according to certain “historians” or Grandmas)
Beautiful dosent stop only at looks as people might think, even if Cleopatra might have been average on looks her other qualities made her really beautiful. She was the only ruler of Ancient Egypt from the Ptolemy greek ruling family who actually spoke egyptian beside greek, this made her to be very loved by the ancient egyptians.😇
Whoever made this sounds jealous. She's the epitome of beauty.
"Was cleopatra ugly?" -No. Understandable, have a nice day

She was gorgeous to me. I looked at one of her statutes and they made a rendering from it, she was beautiful. Maybe not to this generation who has a warped sense of beauty because they don't see real women but truly a beauty. Sultry lips and large eyes and just a hint of curl in her hair. God said He's going to make me famous and I'm not changing for anyone, I hope that has a positive impact on young women.

Cleopatra was actually known to be very beautiful. She wasn't actually Egyptian, she was Greek. Her father was a general who pronounced himself pharaoh. She was the last ruler of Egypt, and she was extremely smart. She spoke 9. Different. Languages. Which is insane for a woman of that time. Mark Anthony was actually her lover, and she was buried beside him after she took her own life.

Its complex to talk about beauty in ancient times. The ancient cultures associate the beauty of a woman by fertility, and being chubby is a signal of richness and prosperity. So, to actually she could not be beauty but in her time she could be a gorgeus woman due to the same archetip.
