For those who question or are pissed (myself included) about the censored arts, remember it's TH-cam, they will demonetize the video if there are nudes
flawlesslycan well they missed Pompey’s dick
How juvenile, yet you can see breast gallour on TV, its desecrating Art and History
Having to censor art makes me incredibly pissed for some reason. I understand why, but still...
I don’t think the censorship takes too much away, I don’t have problem celebrating censorship if it takes the keeps the facts straight.
Technically, nudity is allowed for educational purposes. However since the algorithme won't take that into account, meaning it has to be modified manually, the video would miss the spike of revenue that occurs shortly after publishing.
I think Queen Hatshepsut was the most successful Queen of Egypt, she deserves a video too.
Diego Sebastián Pérez definately
Diego Sebastián Pérez agreed
Oh yes! I was able to see her mummy in the Cairo museum. Fascinating woman.
I agree
yes!!
Is so strange to me that black americans constantly say Cleopatra is black because she was from africa. That's how frightening ignorance can be.
Egyptian not being spoken in the royal palace is hardly surprising. It's actually really common for the nobility to speak a language the peasants would not understand. From ancient Greece to Tzar Russia. That's why most of the posh words in English are French.
This was only the case during the Ptolemy dynasty, not previous dynasties, and in the case of the Ptolemys, they spoke Greek because that's what they were. The first Ptolemy was one of Alexander's (as in Alexander the Great) generals and when Alexander died his empire was divided up amongst his generals and Ptolemy got control of Egypt.
Phil Hsueh i read somewhere that in ancient rome the higher class spoke Greek instead of Latin...or it was the other way around. But classes in society had a different language or dialect from others
The Ptolemaic rulers spoke Greek because they were fucking Greek, Macedonian Greek to be precise. Cleopatra's name is Greek because she was Greek, spoke Greek as a native language, and ruled Egypt from the Greek city-state of Alexandria founded by Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, when he captured Egypt from the Achaemenid Persian Empire. This is not analogous to later Russian aristocrats speaking French.
True the Swedish royals spoke French during at least a part of the 17-hundred.
the ancient greek nobility spoke greek not another language
Cleopatra wasn’t even ethnically Egyptian at all. Her line descended from Macedonia/Greek, the Ptolemy.
Egyptian by heart.
Actually through marriage that weren't incestual she was part Egyptian though only a small percentage
@@taylortanner37 Except the Ptolemies didn’t marry any Egyptians.
JB Cheema Greek by incest
Agreed

Cleopatra was not the greatest ever Egyptian queen. It is her proximity to the most famous Romans in the most famous Roman period that has been written about, dramatised and taught through the ages that makes her the most famous. Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, Neferusobek/Sobekneferu and Nefertari were all more successful and despite their story being less exciting.
Well these earlier native Egyptian queens were certainly more successful in that they didn't lose their kingdoms to a foreign power (in this case the Roman Republic under Octavian). However, Cleopatra VII during her prime was at least as powerful and influential as earlier Ptolemaic Greek queens of Egypt, including Arsinoe II and Berenice II. Cleopatra raised an army in Syria to fight her brother in Egypt and even led her naval forces in battle.
@@ericconnor8251 Cleopatra was half Egyptian not greek
@@nziom what is the other half?
@@nziom LOL. Wrong on both counts. She was Macedonian Greek because her father was Ptolemy XII Auletes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. You do know what that is, right? Apparently not. Apparently you don't even know Alexander the Great conquered Achaemenid Persian Egypt and that Cleo's ancestor Ptolemy I Soter was a general of his who started the whole dynasty in 305 BC. Cleo's mother is unknown, so part Egyptian? Maybe.
Given Cleopatra's surviving Hellenistic Greek coins and Roman sculptures and even paintings from both Pompeii and Herculaneum, though, I would say it is very unlikely Cleopatra's unknown mother was even part Egyptian. She looks very Caucasian in all her portraits and even light-skinned in her paintings. Aside from their sister-wives, Ptolemaic kings also took on Greek, Persian, and Syrian women as concubines. There is only one case in all of Ptolemaic Egypt where a king had an Egyptian mistress, but she didn't produce any kids or heirs for the Ptolemaic dynasty.
My wife, who is a Cleopatraphile says this was spot on! Thank you crew and Simon too!
If you liked the info presented in this video, a perfect complement to it might be a more visual-centric one that I made a little while ago, showing and describing a progression of images depicting Cleopatra as the ancient Romans viewed her. These include her ancient sculpted busts and paintings from Pompeii and Herculaneum, along with coinage: th-cam.com/video/boQOXk9ZEoc/w-d-xo.html
+Eric Connor You sir, are a shameless asshole. Simon and crew work hard to produce quality product for their viewers and here you come, rowing in on your douche canoe to try and use their success to bolster your content whilst doing nothing whatsoever to increase the quality of your own content. Do your own work sir, it's especially shameful to do this to +Biographics or any of it's sister channels as they regularly do shout-outs and collaborations with smaller channels as a way to help them out, and may have done so for you had you been a harder worker and a lesser leech than you seem to be. As far as your content goes, get better quality images and either use a voice-over and a better font(Red did not look good either.), or lower the volume of the music and choose more relaxing pieces as well as, again, the font thing. If you want to do advertising maybe create a twitter page or even go with facebook, this is not a cool way to do it and gives most people a negative idea of you and what you're about. Good day sir, good luck in your future endeavors, so long as they are honest.

Who is here after the god awful queen Cleopatra documentary on Netflix .The one that portrays her as black because one of the people sit in the show because your grandmother told her she was black.
They didn't just make Cleopatra black. Her whole family are played by black actors! It's like they just tried to erase the whole Macedonian-Greek thing.
could you do a video biography on Joan of Arc?
He already did.
@@christinegatto7426 that comment was posted over a year ago.
Simon, would u be interested in doing empress wu? I wouldn’t say she changed the world 🌎 or anything, but if you check her out, I think 🤔 you may find that the story is quite interesting.
Anyway ...up 2 u. No pressures. I juz like your presentation style.
@@MCorpReview Yes! I second this! Empress Wu Zutien!
I have never heard Joan and if Joan was as known Queens like Cleopatra many people like Cleopatra. Kings in Egyptian times and all famous and well known Kings the Egyptians were Kings for 2000 yrs or more. So, I didn't mean anything about it other than just to tell what I know or heard.
Simon, you put so much information into such a brief program that I almost always have to listen twice to take it all in. I mean that as a compliment. (It could also be that I'm not very bright! 😋) Thanks for all the hard work your crew and yourself put into these videos. I'm addicted!
It’s pretty funny that people complain about paintings depicting cleopatra as white, even though she was greek
Cleopatra was Bi-racial. half black and half greek. Mother was African
@E Kasongo: we still don't know who Cleopatra VII's mother was, so claiming she was black (a Kushite?) or even ethnic Egyptian is just false and without any evidence. Strabo was the only ancient historian who claimed she was an illegitimate child born of a mother who was not the Ptolemaic Greek queen Cleopatra V Tryphaena (wife of Cleo's father Ptolemy XII Auletes), but even he doesn't mention the mother.
Eric Connor kemite not kushite, kush is in the south
She was a person of color..My brother spent one month in Egypt and the only white people he saw were the tourists taking pictures of the pyramids
Eric Connor we know she wasn't white
Can we see a video about Queens Nefertiti or Hatshepsut
Both had major impacts on Egypts economic, social and religious history
And did so in fascinating and empowering ways that deserve to be delved into!
LOL, this is what you get, when YT "defends" freedom of speech or art... Blurred art for fear of demonetization...
I ve been binging these videos for 14 hours straight 😂 thank you for taking my thoughts away fron my insomnia and depression and making me excited about something for a while . 💙
IIRC Cleoptra and her ancestors were ethnic Greek rather than Egyptian. Egypt had been ruled by Greeks since being conquered by Alexander the Great in 323 BCE.
Her father's side was definitely Hellenic Macedonian, but her mother may have been Egyptian. The mother was not Hellenic and she spoke Egyptian, but not much else was recorded about her, including her name as far as I have been able to find.
+FO cast Kleopatra’s mother is not proven to be Egyptian. She was the sister or niece of Kleopatra’s father.
Fabian Hale Can you cite that for me, please? The research I have seen does not prove her mother to be Egyptian, it only infers it. I haven't seen any indications that the mother was named and would appreciate any citations. Thanks.
Robert Dawson From what I know the Ptolemaic dynasty was composed by rulers of mixed Greek and Persian descent.
Seleucus dynasty was Hellenic and Persian, rather than Ptolemy.
0:52 It's a shame that we have to blur out parts of a historic image. But I suppose that's the world we live in now.
dangerousmythbuster I’m offended!!
Its to prevent demonetization, but if you like the paintings go to an art museum not TH-cam. I prefer the "the world we live in now" because there are less wars and diseases compared to later centuries or B.C.
TF? Do you genuinely believe that the contextually appropriate and historically accurate presentation of art which just so happens to include innocuous parts of the natural female form are somehow related to the number of modern day wars and diseases??? Which "logic" books have you been misreading? SMH
Joseph Loera
I don't have time to break it down for your small mind. Just go and support a local art history museum not Biographics
. TH-camrs have their hands tied with all demonetization going on.
dangerousmythbuster don’t get too lofty. The channel voluntarily self-censored the historical images rather than miss out on money. Even cleopatra appeased the Roman oppressors, whoring after them.
So close to Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet deaths. According to coinage Cleopatra had struck, she was far from beautiful. She was intelligent, charming, well educated and had great political savvy. These things and her manner and ability to manipulate made her desirable. Not great beauty of face. This has largely been debunked as the carpet story.
One should be careful about her coinage portraits, which were deliberately made to look masculine in order to lend her more legitimacy as a female monarch (especially after the civil war with her brother Ptolemy XIII). Her contemporary sculpted busts, statues, and paintings made by the Romans show a much more flattering, feminine visage of the queen, although some are perhaps a bit idealized. See this video for that: th-cam.com/video/boQOXk9ZEoc/w-d-xo.html
Hello Annette, I think its more than likely Shakespeare's inspiration for Romeo and Juliet was taken from Cleopatra and Anthony's tragic history. I would agree Cleopatra was an astute, intelligent, charming and politically informed individual. A beauty? Yes, i believe perhaps Cleopatra was this as well. Take any coinage from the time; all the faces are vulgar looking. This is down to crude mass production techniques of the time. Formal portraits of the lady are far more pleasing. There are also historical and cultural considerations. What may have been seen as beauty millennia ago may not translate today. There's enough evidence to suggest Cleopatra was a beautiful woman in her day: seducing the great Caesar and Mark Anthony in turn. These were men with great power, wives, concubines and access to any number of women should they desire. It would, i suggest, take more than clever conversation to make such men fall for her as they so famously did. Have a pleasant day, Andrew
andrew grundy hello Andrew. Perhaps your version is plausible. However , taking into consideration as a whole all of the documentation I have seen on Cleopatra I still believe she was quite ordinary looking but of high intelligence and very learned. Difficult as it is to believe these attributes could have elevated her above lesser accomplished women in the eyes of a couple great men. Plus having funds for elaborate seduction didn't hurt either.
Yes, its apparent Caesar and Anthony found her quite beguiling compared to most women they encountered. Cleopatra stylized and projected her image as living goddess and queen. You'll be aware of her legendary public appearances. I would still defend that Cleopatra was not a physically unattractive specimen. There is as far as i'm aware no written evidence from the time to suggest that she was unappealing to behold. A woman wont to attire herself in the guise of aphrodite may well attract scorn were she plain. I believe Cleopatra was shrewd enough to realize this but knew she had the looks to carry the mantle. Furthermore i don't believe vanity was her motivation, rather she was using all her powers physical and intellectual to win over the most powerful men at the time. To further her cause; that being the future autonomy of Egypt.
andrew grundy 😘😎
As an Egyptian, I would love to see videos on Nefertiti and Hatshepsut!!
Good. You're profestly not Arab.
@@isaacleillhikar4566 with a name like she does i find it more likely shes copt (ancient egyptian descendant) than arab
I think t is truly scholarly the way your team investigates individuals uncovering facts & dispelling old myths. These episodes are educational & entertaining.
Shes so famous even black Americans are now claiming she was black even though she was clearly Greek
A video on Pompey Magnus would be fascinating. He would be remembered as one of Rome's greatest generals if he didn't turn on Julius Caesar.
It's a bit more complicated than Pompey turning on Ceasar.
She should've been known as Cleverpatra.
Boom!
😂👍🏻
Badumtssss
One of Her royal titles is "the great lady of perfection, excellent in counsel" so they basically already did call Her clever
I would've liked the whole "arriving in a carpet" thing to be true
That sounds pretty slick
What a nose
*She was Macedonian-Greek*
T R U T H we live in such an age we need to point out the obvious ... ah
I was thinking this the whole time
The Ptolemys ruled Egypt for generations before Cleopatra. There's only only so much incest one family can partake in, it's safe to say the family line was not very Greek by the time she was born
That means she was European
@@keeganmcauliffe9764 The coins struck with her image were contemporary.
Anyone here after the whole Netflix-Cleopatra drama?😁😁

wait. her husband was her brother AND he was only 8 years old and she 18?
Welcome to the wonderful/disgusting world of royal incest! Its a classic tradition/horror that only the most elite get to enjoy. An unwashed peasant like you could never understand the privilege/repugnance of such a proud heritage.
Her brother was 10 at the time.

I enjoyed it as well. Definitely felt compelled to subscribe to Biographics. If you're interested in knowing further stuff about Cleopatra, you can check out my video on ancient Roman artwork depicting her (including sculptures, paintings, and coinage): th-cam.com/video/boQOXk9ZEoc/w-d-xo.html
They did a great job actually, hitting all the salient points about Cleopatra's life and career as a monarch in Ptolemaic Egypt. I just wish they would have shown more actual ancient depictions of the queen instead of mostly recent paintings by artists of the past few hundred years. The ancient Romans actually made sculpted busts and paintings of the queen, one of which can be seen in the video above, but also here: th-cam.com/video/boQOXk9ZEoc/w-d-xo.html
These videos are so interesting and well made - my new TH-cam addiction. They are really well made and give enough info about people I’ve been curious about, but in a succinct way. It’s a nice alternative to Wikipedia because I forget who I want to know more about sometimes. My knowledge of history outside of literature is limited. I must add my favorite Shakespeare play in Julius Caesar - so I really love this. Keep up the good work!

why would you blur the pictures that's ridiculous they are paintings from many years ago

Probably because utube has become more Victorian about sex than the victorians....
Yeah, why the blurred breasts in the art work? That's ridiculous.

Love your stuff man!
Their video was pretty excellent, containing lots of interesting facts and great visual aids. There is a very important painting they showed but didn't explain, though, at 11:17. The narrator explains what the painting is directly related to, that being the statue of Cleopatra erected by Caesar in the Temple of Venus Genetrix in the Forum of Caesar, but he doesn't explain how the painting comes from the House of Marcus Fabius Rufus in Pompeii. For info on that ancient Roman painting of Cleopatra, see this video: th-cam.com/video/boQOXk9ZEoc/w-d-xo.html

Cleopatra also was interested in astronomy and science, was a raconteur and spoke seventeen languages.
Congrats for 100k subscribers.
This story is truly amazing
Egyptian history is my all time favorite thank you Simon.
"Her husband and brother" Hold up, ohhh wait, Ancient egypt.
Technically that's more a result of her being Greek. The members of the Ptolemaic dynasty are very well know to have sibling marriages.... and thusly, the associated health issues. Cleopatra VII was actually married to 2 of her brothers, at different times.
@@LeglessWonder its not cuz she is greek. There are other pharaohs who were born from incest in the Egyptian lineage.
@@whatsagoodname8597 Thats true, but has no bearing on Cleopatra. Since she wasn’t Egyptian
Classical*
@@LeglessWonder Well she definitely had some Egyptian heritage. The first of thirteen Ptolemies to speak the language of her people. And the pharaohs had a history of interfamilial marriage before Ptolemy, but they really skillfully picked it up

Hi Simon! I am loving this channel. I was wondering, will you be featuring Nefertiti?
I called my cat "Ptolemy" so when Simon says stuff like "Ptolemy became ruler of Egypt, it sounds really funny to me!
That was a great video!
Thank you !
I'm sorry to hear that the story of the bedroll has been "largely debunked" (8:19). It's a great story! I wonder who debunked it and how? By the way, it was 49 BCE when Cleopatra learned her brother was plotting against her, not 49 CE (5:36). She was long dead in 49 CE. But that was just a slip, I know. Another great video, Simon!
The bedsack thing is relayed by historian Plutarch but not included at all in the account by historian Cassius Dio. It's most likely a legend, considering how it sounds rather silly. The version by Cassius Dio is less glamorous/romantic.
Anyways, you can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra
Use BC and AD... that other crap is for people who know nothing about history and/or people like Simon who clearly don’t believe in it (cause he mixes them) but don’t want the PC crowd whining about him.
@@ThomasCallahanJr "That other crap," as you call it (BCE & CE) are used by most professional historians now, because they're unbiased. Personally, I don't care whether someone uses AD or CE, but you must admit "anno domini" is totally Christian-biased.
@@magistrumartium yup... they’re biased if they use it... no matter the religious context the entirety of humanity lives in the year 2021 based off the year 0... which is based off the birth of Christ. I’m not religious, I just like facts and history. AD is absolutely “the year of our lord”... the point is, they are trying to change it for PC purposes because they don’t like that it’s not “inclusive” which doesn’t matter anyways because like I said the entire calendar is based off Christ’s birth. Christian monks invented the Gregorian calendar (the most accurate; which we still use). If they had any integrity they’d admit that, and have a little reverence. Now... “amen...and; awomen”
