I find this to be fascinating. I mean, Cleopatra was FOREIGN ruler. Egypt was subdued and occupied by outsiders. But you guys still defended her and regarded her as integral part of your history. I live in Indonesia and we aren't kind to foreigners who occupied Indonesia. Since we were kids, we were told that the Dutch was very evil and cruel. We were taught how the Dutch sucked out our resources, killed our national heroes with evil tricks, and stuff like that. We don't hate the modern Dutch but we really hate the historic Dutch. IF someone made history movie about Dutch occupying Indonesia and they made the Dutch BLACK, I think the Indonesians would NOT defend the Dutch. Yes it's our history but it's painful history.

It could be that both versions are correct. Wealthy women throughout the Antique world would often dye their hair in order to appear fashionable and flaunt their status (as the dyes were expensive and the process was quite laborious, so only someone with ample free time and spare resources could afford it). It is known that ancient Egyptians used henna as a hair dye, which produces a reddish-brown hue, so Cleopatra was no doubt familiar with it. Also, Roman artwork frequently depicts Venus with auburn hair. Given her personal association with Isis/Venus, Cleopatra might have intentionally dyed her hair during her stay in Rome to further the semblance with the goddess. The fact that Venus was considered the mythical ancestor of the Julii family might have been an additional factor, Cleopatra taking a deliberate effort to appear like Venus in order to further cement her relationship with Julius Caesar. Having a queen as a mistress who furthermore held a striking semblance to his mythical ancestor would have no doubt stroked Caesar's ego greatly, which Cleopatra no doubt would have used to her advantage.

yeah the second red hair version (the less defined eyelashes) is the most natural and prettiest IMO

For a woman of her time, that redheaded version would've been very captivating. The dark hair was probably wigs that she wore to look more Egyptian like. Your version is the closest thing to authentic that I have seen. Very impressive.

She also spoke the Greek language very well and did the first translations of some of the most important European classic literature into Greek herself.

Red hair is almost nonexistent in modern Greece, if only by Western European migration. The Romans described the Celts, distinguishing their unique red hair. If that was commonplace in Greece, which was closer to the near east and interacted and mixed with the eastern civilizations, then it would be commonplace in Rome, which was more western.

Obviously looks can be very magnetic. But even the people today who are celebrated for their physical beauty, also have a way to carry themselves that is out of the ordinary. But she would probably still be viewed as a physical beauty. As a queen, she would have presented herself in a, well, regal way, and have access to extensive beauty rituals to keep her looking her best. She would also not be subject to malnourishment and illness, which ensured that she would develop into the most attractive version of herself she could be. She would also have grown up with constant positive reinforcement, which would improve confidence and self-esteem, and that is something that is very noticable in a person. You see that in modern day upper class people as well - they do not have the same doubt about themselves. She would also be held to high expectations, and have teachers to help her achieve those expectations. Both socially, in ettiquette, skills, beauty, intelligence, diplomacy, etc. In combination, these factors would boost each other, and increase both her confidence, self esteem and charisma. Not to say that royals didn't also meet greater challenges and higher pressure than most people - but their baseline was 'higher', so in everyday social situations, this would greatly influence peoples first impression and the genreral impression of them. So even if there would maybe be more physically beautiful women, she would definitely still be considered very physically beautiful, as well as very magnetic. It was more because she also had a way of conducting herself that drew people even closer.

@@vessela7484 - that's my point, too. I love that most of my family, on both sides, don't fit typical looks. My great grandmother from Italy - Ancona is way up north, on the Adriatic. So, to me, it's no surprise she was blond and blue. But a red-headed, green eyed Sicilian gives one pause 😆 I love this stuff!

This red haired version looks a lot like the one from HBO Rome series. Which was known for doing their homework in many details. This means that this reconstruction is on the right path. Very good!

How, when that drawing looks nothing like the paintings on the Egyptian walls that they left? Just how?

​@@fromtheheavenlyrealms8613Egyptian art wasn't nessassarily about detail according to this video, it was more religious and metaphorical it seems. That makes sense due to the religious nature of the position of Pharoah and how she was associated with the goddess Isis.

@@wingedhussarswiss4703 Dude...the painters drew what they saw just as all painters did. All of Roman pictures are white people. All of Asia's pictures are Asian people. How come you don't have a theory on those, or on any other pics or paintings in the earth? I guess only the black paintings have a back story that suggest they weren't really black. Please record yourself talking and then listen to it over and over until you hear how foolish you sound.
