She was never described as physically beautiful in historical sources. It's unlikely the Roman historians who focused so much on her seductiveness would have simply neglected to mention her physical appearance, had it been extraordinary.
Her "beauty" wasn't limited to her physical appearance (although, like others said, beauty standards evolve and change), but let's not forget that Cleopatra was not only one of the most important and politically savvy head of state of her time, she was also highly educated and, according to various contemporary sources (friends and foes), formidably smart. Even with an average physique, she must have been one of, if not THE, most fascinating woman in history and it must have deeply impacted any man (or woman, I would guess) crossing her path.
I think your read too much into it like the leaders of today who is what you described none and all would have been buried just like her if they held her ranks.
I think it's possible her whole story is just that a story... What I do take from this is far to many experts are doing absolutely useless work. I would think that since so many of their narratives are under attack maybe they would be trying to prove slightly more relevant research.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And scrubs like us aren't worthy of judging. But those of her status hit that stuff hard. She was only about 20 when Caesar had to get some. And Mark Anthony hit it in her late 30s.
We can’t judge Cleopatra’s beauty given she was literally ancient. We especially cannot use a side profile on a coin to get an accurate representation of her. Coin making was not as precise as it is today. Even if it was, it’s not like we can tell how Washington looked based on what’s on a quarter.
you see facial reconstructions based off of the roman bust (the roman’s were not afraid to portray someone’s real features, look at emperor nero) and she’s actually quite beautiful. applying modern western beauty standards onto an ancient egyptian queen is stupid.
@@thaliakittycake8496 agreed. It doesn’t make sense. At that time, fully figured women would have been the beauty standard bc it meant they didn’t work in the fields and had access to all kinds of food. The bust you mention always seems to be discounted when talking about her. That it’s not an actual representation. I disagree. Like a profile from a crude ancient coin making process is an accurate representation. Every coin could have looked very different.
@@thaliakittycake8496you see from her statues, her coins, her fresco she is depicted in all as Hellenic. It’s Greek style and Greek features. Even the coins she commissioned herself don’t show her as “Egyptian” but as a Greek wearing a Hellenic ribbon, a diadem.
In school, one of our teacher had show to us an old coin with the profil face of cleo. She was not a beauty, but her Charisma was so strong, this is what made people fell in love with her. Beauty isn't everything after all. And when we see how beauty is shown today, I am pretty happy to be normal and not gorgeous. The pressure, the harassment, I do not envy that. I don't want interactions to feel sexual because of the beauty, and one of my friend who is beautiful is harassed a lot by men and even have 3 stalkers in the past. People can be scary if you are beautiful. Interaction can became cringe and inconfortable, a lot of women and men that I knew, but wasn't necessary friends, had it terrible with the opposite gender because of their beauty. This is just disgusting. So yup, I find the behavior of a lot of people ridiculous, stupid, immature, disrespectful and pervert when they interact with someone beautiful. Like the person is just beautiful and not human. Not taking in fact the feeling of the other, no, just thinking about satisfying their sexual organs. And I don't talk about people who properly introduce themselves and stay polite. But the ones who will whistle, looking your boobs or your member, not even trying to know you and only wanting to bang you (if this is consent and respect, it is OK, bang if you want, but sometimes people just go straight to this point without knowing if the person is interessed or confortable and will harass to make the other person shift their mind), or following someone, etc. This kind of disgusting behaviors that happen again and again. So being beautiful is pretty scary for my own point of view. With all the horrors stories that I heard or read. Nope.
The coin making process was very basic with imprecise images in Ancient Times. It was a representation of Cleopatra just like the stylized version of her in wall reliefs.

While Roman historian Dio Cassius described Cleopatra as “a woman of surpassing beauty,” a number of modern historians have characterized her as less than exceptionally attractive. Nevertheless, they have noted that her beauty was heralded and that her appearance was seductive. Greek biographer Plutarch, writing about a century after Cleopatra’s death, presented a less flattering picture: "For her beauty, as we are told, was in itself not altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her.” Plutarch, however, was quick to note Cleopatra’s “irresistible charm,” sweet voice, persuasiveness, and stimulating presence. The image of her as a sultry seductress likely stems from a narrative originally pushed by Octavian (Augustus) to rationalize his rivalry and conflict with fellow Roman Marc Antony, who was portrayed as having been manipulated by a foreign temptress. What’s more, casting Cleopatra as an evil beauty conveniently downplayed her competence and significance as a ruler.
If you’re grandmother died naturally with her mouth in that position. The interpretation is that she has paid her debt in full. And is now with “God”. Peace be with you. ⭐️
Plato did not create the story of Atlantis; he heard the story from someone else and wrote it down. They in turn heard the story in Egypt. It was a very old story by the time Plato wrote about it. So much so Plato was basically reminding people of it since most cultures had forgotten it, whether real or not. It is just Plato's account is the only one to survive time. Just as we only have 2 of Homer's works, of the 30+ he wrote.
Sure about that. The story is based on him actually going to Atlantis. So if he never went there, they how was he able to provide such fine details of the place he's never been too? Most people today can't even do that, with a phone in their hand.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Cleopatra was reputed to have both charm and charisma, as well as intelligence and power. With that going for her, she could have had two heads and still been alluring.
Awesome that you went into history!! I suggested this about 4-5 months ago and some tard tried telling me it was disrespectful. I’m glad you made the decision to expand your content it’s great!!!
Charisma, intellect and wisdom win out over time, every time. Sadly, I'm fugly and have not one of those three things. I've met many who do and it certainly made them far more endearing to others than beauty and stupidity ever have.
The Eye of Sahara in Mauritania is a fascinating location for Atlantis, but a more likely one would be by the Azores on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The first was "lost to the sea" when a flood came from the Atlantic Ocean, into the Mediterranean, and the second could have been reduced by raised sea levels. This would have been two pole shifts ago (around 11,000 BC). The last shift would have been around 4500 BC. Fast forward another 6500 years, and you've arrived around the year 2000. Shit's about to go down.
lol, neither... you r forgetting about the continental shift 15,000 years ago when "Atlantis" was supposed to have existed. The "gates of Hercules" were not where they have been lately, not at the Gibraltar ... it was at the entrance to what was the "Dark Lake" and have become the "Black Sea", water flow has been since reversed. Research ancient "Caspian Sea" shores... check out the Indo-European language origins/DNA/etc...
@@Dr.Yalex.the problem with that is that no one pays attention to Greek texts, Afrocentrics create their own narratives and own texts and so do others. Plato tells us about an island that existed at the “mouth” of a passage, a narrow passage where you crossed and you could see the Island. That’s not the dessert of west Africa obviously. From nearby islands you could reach a huge land mass, a continent which is surrounded by the true ocean. The travel took 2 days from Athens on sail, the Atlantians came from the west of Greece, not east, they controlled the area of Mediterranean except Greece and Egypt which United to fight against it. The destruction of Atlantis destroyed the Greek army and many Greek cities, again you need something close not desert in west Africa, to have the impact hiring Greek cities. The surrounding area around the island became muddy and couldn’t be travelled for some time, but afterwards it could, which again not a desert in Africa. Obviously the pillars were not where they are today, but where were they? If we think of lower water levels, we see a narrow passage forming between Italy and Tunisia, and a big island being formed, Sardegna and Corse, which might have been one, with a volcano on the north, and small islands leading to land mass either Europe, Africa or both which are indeed surrounded by the true ocean. Its 2 days voyage from Athens and on the west, it could have been untravelled for a period after the flood but later it was possible.
Theres a very strong case for Atlantis being the 'The eye of the Sahara' circular remants in the African desert, which was in an ancient flood plane fed by the Atlantic ocean for thousands of years before the sea's entry point to it stopped through natural processes including earthquakes and maybe a Tsunami that deposited so much mud it blocked the waterways permanently, prehaps from nearby Canary Island's volcanos. Many of the features match the Plato descriptions, prehaps the sea claimed it due to erruptions in the canary islands sent a Tsunami up the feeding waterways into the city, then later claimed by sand as the area desertified over once water in the area dried out. There was many such inland flood planes and giant lakes and inland seas feeding formation of jungles and forests in Africa before they receeded and formed deserts, this is also known in regions near Egypt which are now very barren, indeed its an ongoing process world wide due to tectonics.
yup also that part of africa was like the amazon jungle back then... my teacher back in school arround 2012-2014 i think he was talking about robert shock (the scientist who said the sphinx was erosion was water and not air) which means the sphinx is from back when egypt was green and lush also... since i was very young ive allways believed that theres been hundreds of civilizations if not thousands before us... but the earth sometimes just decide to wipe everything out and start over... so many mysteries on this planet alone its sooo fascinating!!!
🙏 Thank u ! Also, Plato was not the only one to mention Atlantis. Plato himself gives credit to the Ancient Egyptians for the base of his knowledge on Atlantis !
Afrocentrics are ruining history.. instead of using logic and facts they use feelings and need for superiority. If you believe Plato’s reference to Atlantis then you need to believe also the facts he gives, Atlantis was an island at the mouth of the pillars of Hercules 2 days voyage from Athens. That’s not west Africa, it’s not 2 days voyage from Athens and there is no “mouth” (narrow passage of sea), not to mention its not an island and couldn’t be as sea level was lower.
You are correct. I remember some of our time there. The eye of the Sahara was the capital city. The Atlantic Ocean did not exist at that time. Understand that Plato only heard whispers of Atlantis. And even those whispers were Not actually of Atlantis....but Khem the people which became the Egyptians. Whom still told stories of the time before the Cataclysm....26000 years ago at the end of the last round. Most of us here now....were there then.
Rigor Mortis usually sets in between 1 and 6 hours following death. It is very possible that at least some of the "screaming" mummies had died with their mouths and/or eyes open and were subsequently found after Rigor Mortis had set in, forever freezing that horrific expression upon their faces. It is not uncommon for people to die with odd facial expressions, however morticians have developed techniques for reshaping facial muscles in order to fashion a less unsettling expression. As for Cleopatra's appearance, I don't think we'll ever really know what she looked like unless we uncover her remains. Even then, facial recreation technology can only offer us a rough estimate of how she may have appeared. As for her supposed beauty - or lack thereof - I agree with others that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and is not universally perceived as such. On the other hand, studies have suggested that there seems to be at least one particular trait of appearance which is universally deemed to be most attractive, and that is facial symmetry. Upon comparing photos depicting several dozen different faces of people from all various walks of life, people all over the world unanimously selected the same faces they felt were most beautiful. The common trait each of these "most beautiful " faces shared was perfect symmetry with respect to the lay out and proportion of the eyes, nose and mouth. Regardless of color, age, weight, gender or any other discerning differences found among the faces, all which appeared to have perfect symmetry were deemed by respondents as beautiful.
actually facial recreation technology can get us damn close. a lot of it is basing off the muscle anchor points on the skull to determine facial muscle size then layering skin and fat over that you can get a pretty damn accurate idea of what some one looked like. combined with mdoern computer technology with massive data basses on facial muscle variations , it can get quite accurate for those that take time with it.
@@IrlLove yeah i'm prety sure that's NOT what OP said. thing is when you die , all muscle tension is let go , this means eye's open and mouths open . this is why in modern funeral homes they glue their eyes shut and wire their jaws shut. before rigamortis sets in dead bodies tend to "flop" open in those areas.
In one of Julius Caesar biographies, when he first met Cleopatra, the attraction that attracted him to her, wasn’t her beauty but, that she was the most sexiest woman he ever seen. And in one of Mark Antony’s biography, he said the same thing.
Unicorn could have been one horned rhinoceros called in Latin rhinoceros unicornis or something related to it that went extinct. The idea it resembled a horse did not come about until much later than when first written about.
One of the most compelling theories about Atlantis was that it was in the Eye of the Sahara. That location fits the physical description of the city's alleged ringed layout perfectly. That region did get swept up in a colossal flood at one point, a settlement on the formation would have easily been swept away. The description that the Atlanteans' hubris incurred the wrath of the gods probably shouldn't be interpreted through our overly-literal modernist lens. Until relatively recently in human history, god and gods were used in reference to "the way[s] of things." God and gods means universal truth[s], not petty arbitrary beings. As in: "you overinvest in building on an unstable or precarious position, you tempt fate for it all to crumble at some point." Further archeological evidence suggests that Egypt, before the era of pharaohs, was one of several satellite states of an empire west of them in the Sahara. With its fall, they started going their own directions.
@@PATISLAV if you’re white. You’ll be tan. You won’t be dark as the Africans. The people of atlantis would be African therefore a dark group of people. If the city of atlantis really was in the Sahara desert
Cleopatra was a known red head (like those of the red haired royal Ramessides) - and her haircut was either short-cut curls all over (like those of known portraits of Egyptians with wavy-curly hair at the time of Rome and the early Christian era). In other sculptures her hair let down would have SERIOUS wavy and long curls (quasi dreadlocks) or looking like a hairband holding back frizzy unkempt hair. Cleopatra's facial features would be majority Greek with a hawk nose, and some Egyptian bloodline features, like Tutanhkamon with partial high cheekbones, a potentially small receding chin, that of a girlish pumpkin face of flushed out cheeks (only in adult age getting the sunken cheek features), and any normal wide and tall - having the hair pulled back from the forehead. Cleopatra (like Elizabeth Taylor movie features) would never have worn a long hair and forehead bangs haircut.
The fact that Mark Anthony, Herod the Great, and Julius Caesar all got the hots for Cleopatra, wasn't just that she was a royal - but she was highly intelligent for her days, extremely well-versed and educated, and very sneaky-wise as well. The fact that Herod had a son Herodion by Cleopatra (killed), and Julius Caesar had a son Caesarian by Cleopatra (killed) showed that she was also alluring to the most-powerful of men in her time period. No ugliness or personality disorder about that !
May she shaved her real hair and worn wigs just how Egyptians done for hygenic reason. This would explains that on her portraits she has different hair colours (brown, black and red).
@@ZivanovaableOr her hair naturally changed color, or she dyed it. They did dye their hair back then, but people swear that hair dye is a modern era thing.
She might not have been pretty in some eyes, she might not have been sexy in some others' eyes. But she must've been one phenomenally interesting & most memorably fascinating characters in the history of our known ages... because we all still speak about her & compare her & think about her. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so she was beautiful in some peoples eyes.
Donkey's milk is very high in lactic acid and amino acids-very good skin care and anti aging ingredients. Cleopatra also wrote a book on cosmetics and and another one on poisons. She had access to the best of the best. Even if she wasn't "beautiful" by then or now standards, she could "package" herself better than everyone else. And a lot of the time, charm can make someone appear more physically appealing than they may really be.
I'm a hospice nurse and have seen many deaths. People lose muscle tone at the end of their lives and when they are actively dying they may not be able to close their eyes. Also, their mouth drops open, hence, the appearance of 'screaming'. Hyperextension of the neck also can happen in an effort to get more air as they are dying.
Atlantis could have been a city. Nothing as big a claimed. There are a few cities they found under the sea that they didn't know about until they went scuba diving and found it. They found a place in Spain that is similar to the description of Plato's Atlantis where they find many artifacts that were at least 5000- 7500 years old. It was wiped out by earthquakes followed by tsunami's.
The catastrophe that occurred in the Younger Dryas around 12,800 years ago, though what that was is debated. There could easily have been a lost civilisation at the time. Sea levels rose by 100's of feet in a very short period, geologically speaking. Even fairly short in our perspective. So do I think Atlantis, or whatever they might have called it exist? Maybe. Will we ever find out? I hope so!! Graham Hancock has some interesting books on this topic, and Randall Carlson is an absolute treasure trove of information on the Younger Dryas, well worth checking out!
I'm intrigued on the list of movies used for the clips in this video...alongside hoping at some point someone will make the Cleopatra perfume available outside of the museum. I would love to try it out.
Look up the list and make it yourself. Perfume grade essential oils are easily assessable now. However, you wouldn’t be able to find the ratios and ratios are the most important thing to a good perfume.

It’s crazy how we have this much knowledge from 10 thousand years ago and to think that maybe one day in the future people would have knowledge about us
I heard decades ago about Cleopatra being butt-ugly, but the word of "celebrities" (nobles, people in power, public figures, their equal to what we call "celebrities") being beautiful/sexy was common in the ancient world. The "common people" simply "would not understand" the sexual attraction of someone of such a tier being that way if they were not gorgeous... so myths of their being comely were rampant. Another nugget is ladies of ancient Egypt being quite different to what was common in ancient to now modern Europe... it was considered a power move for women to openly use their sexuality as it wasn't something a woman owes a husband or "client", it was something a woman can use to control a man if not for her own joy. The mental glitch of sex being male power and female amorality (when not in male service) was mainly in Europe and Asia, not further south, where they were less asinine on that one issue.
[05:45] "eau de Cleopatra" - for future reference eau is pronounced more like oh, as in "oh my". As for the de, think of it more like starting to say a word that begins with the letter d, and then stopping - like you realised you were about to say something you shouldn't.
Plateau learned about it from his grandfather Solaron, who learned it during his visit to Egypt. Which is extremely plausible that the Richat Structure was once what you call Atlantis.

Riga-mortis sets in well before 3-4 days. I have a cousin that passed away in her bedroom on MLK day in 2018 and Riga Mortis set in w/i 3-4 hours, not days. (If you want to read the story of what happened below you can. It was traumatizing for us) Just about every year we have a family gathering in Las Vegas, NV with some family member that live in California. Most of those who live in Los Angeles come down to Vegas that weekend but mainly they all arrive by that Sunday to BBQ on that Monday. They mostly all use Vacation time to have a long weekend returning to CA by Wednesday evening. This particular Sunday night (technically early Monday morning hours) she went into her room to lie down around 1am or so. That Monday was the MLK holiday 2018. Many family members drove into Vegas, from L.A to celebrate and Bbq. A Few family members stayed at my cousins home as she has always been very hospitable. The others stayed in their hotels but many of us gathered at her home as family members enjoyed had been up talking and reminiscing about the 70’s and 80’s and how things have severely changed over the decades. Fast forward. She went to bed a 1am her son went into her room to check on her as he always had done but especially because she had not been feeling well for weeks prior and she was really not herself on that day; that Sunday. My cousin’s son had always checked on his mom before bed to tell her he loved her and give her a kiss and hug goodnight. She liked that too, because she maintained peace of mind that he was home and safe. This time he said he thought he heard voices or something in her room. So it is now 4:30am as he was going to check on her and family members who were not spending the holiday at her home are headed to their cars to go to their hotels. As everyone was calling it a night he let them out and locked the door. He then goes to his moms room to check on her and give her a hug and kiss goodnight letting her know he was headed to bed. When he kissed her forehead he said she was very cold to the touch. Then, he gently shook her and asked her was she ok. But there was no response and she was very stiff. Again, he had never seen or been around someone who passed away before, not even a funeral. She was cold and very stiff. He ran and told the remaining family members who were saying at the house there something was wrong. His mom was not responding, she was cold and stiff. They called the ambulance while another family member was attempting CPR but she was too stiff. The ambulance was there w/i 7-10 mins and they stated she had to have died when she went to lie down 3-4 hours ago bc Riga-Mortis set in.
I was in Paris in 2017. I walked around Notre Dame, but did not go in. I wish I had. It gives me comfort, though, to know that Notre Dame has not been in original form for a long time. No, I am not glad that parts of it had already been destroyed and refurbished, I am glad that I did not miss out on its original form. I still regret my decision, though. Thank the universe for Andrew Talon.
even if not conventionally beautiful by todays standards she had greek features and ancient greek features were known for their aristocratic aura. besides just by looking at her side face you cant decide on that alone. a person may seem uglier side faced but when you face them head on their features may be bonding well together and seem prettier. even non straight noses can look good on a face if in harmony with the other features.
Los egipcios se consideran a si mismos los supervivientes de Atlantis. Y hace poco surgió una teoría interesante y convincente que la sitúa en el Ojo del Sáhara. Recordemos que Troya era un mito hasta que se encontró.
20:15 Funny you make no mention of the Eye of the Sahara which is where Atlantis was 8-10k years ago. All the geographic points to Plato's description are a match and Plato was not one to tell tails. The "story" was not fiction, he was telling this as fact as he was a factual person.
Beauty has a lot to do with your outfit that you are wearing. This includes jewelry and hair and makeup. If you have the most beautiful clothes and jewelry, perfect hair and makeup you will be considered the most beautiful. It doesn't matter what you actually look like. You could take any supermodel and take away all their makeup and jewelry, mess up and dirty their hair and give them sweat pants and a sweatshirt. You probably wouldn't think they looked better than an average person who is wearing a $5000 dress. It's all about your appearance. I think this was also the case back then. Cleopatra was probably an average looking woman who had the most expensive clothing and jewelry. That automatically gives her a huge advantage.
@@lynette50 They most certainly do. Have you ever seen someone get a makeover? What about the countless movies where the girl goes from rags to perfection? There's even tiktok videos of woman showing themselves looking like an absolute goddess and then they show themselves without make up and you're like woah, that can't be the same person, but it is. Those things have everything to do with making someone beautiful. If it wasn't true, woman wouldn't spend hours putting on makeup everyday.
@@mysterydude1 Might certainly be the case in some circumstances, in other cases the natural beauty will come throug no matter how you dress them. In most of the movies you mention, the girls are attractive even before their "beautification". Pretty Woman, She's All That, Princess Diaries, 10 Thing I Hate About You. They're all pretty from the beginning really...
You doubt the existence of Noa's Arc calming it would not be possible to built by the people of that period of time ?🤔 Well, then who do you think built the Egyptian pyramids, aliens ? 😂😂
the arc was build by 1 or 2 people. egyptians had a lot of people building the piramid and more money for materials. so i would not doudt it the arc existed just it was much smaller
But pyramids aren't 1000 feet long...imagine building a ship with wood which is as big as a mountain...Noah's arc is just a myth...there are people that lie and exagerate even in the era of social media..then imagine a time where meeting a foreigner was a very very rare case and knowing about their background was even rarer...these people would portray themselves and their culture magestically to look important and get respect...that too in the influence of alcohol and psychedelic plants and unknown mental diseases...Christianity passed on from middle east (where opium and tobacco were used extensively) to Europe (wine and alcohol was very popular) which is a very long distance and so the stories of bible are just exagerated small events that were used as tactics to convert more people into following the religion (or to bring fear among people to follow the word of god/prophet)...there are many scriptures (ancient Indian, Greek, Egyptian, arabian,etc) that describe flood myths but that was only a fear of mankind as they lived in dense colonies near water bodies like river, lake, sea, etc..they used fear of floods to force and manipulate people into following their rules and regulations to assert dominance and power which is a common human nature.. understand.. religion is just an invention of humans..
Years ago, I was teaching a lesson about Egypt to middle school students whereupon I asked them if they wanted to know what she looked like. I pulled up a coin with her image engraved upon it, & the class concluded that at least by modern standards, she wasn't much of a looker.
To be exactly, it was Cleopatra VII. Cause in the Ptolemaic dynasty they all had the name Ptolemy (kings) or Cleopatra (queens) with little exception (that mostly only where co-kings/queens) So if we talk about "the famous Cleopatra", wife of Caesar, its already the 7th of that name ;)
the creepy screaming mummies aren't anything crazy . I work at a funeral home and half of the people that I have seen have the "looking into the face of God" look on their faces
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I believe Cleopatra's beauty wasn't skin deep but it was her intelligence and allure that made her the most beautiful.
I'm 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 scientists and historians 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 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 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 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 Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or British or Turkish or Israelites, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans. WE ARE EGYPTIANS, WE ARE VERY UNIQUE!
I remember years ago ,they've found a coin with her face on it. From that I've knew she was as good looking as they said. But most times, looks isn't what they're looking at, it's more on how the person is and or the energy from the person.

The fact that they use 20th century beauty standards to believe Cleo wasn't a known beauty that was privileged for her time
Right? Nevermind the fact that even modern beauty standards change from region to region.
I always heard she wasn't that beautiful. But she was very smart and had game. That goes along way.
Wasn’t she described by people at the time as not very attractive? It was her intellect & charisma that thoroughly charmed people.
Remember there were no Snapchat filters back then 🤣
She was never described as physically beautiful in historical sources. It's unlikely the Roman historians who focused so much on her seductiveness would have simply neglected to mention her physical appearance, had it been extraordinary.
Cleopatra: "I want to hide my body so noone will desecrate my tomb"
Archeologists: " *Aroused noises* "
Blossom: "Why do they call you, Meat??"
Meat: "Why do they call you........Blossom??"

Ahahahah, best comment
That’s exactly why I don’t believe she went through a 70 day mummification process.
Her "beauty" wasn't limited to her physical appearance (although, like others said, beauty standards evolve and change), but let's not forget that Cleopatra was not only one of the most important and politically savvy head of state of her time, she was also highly educated and, according to various contemporary sources (friends and foes), formidably smart.
Even with an average physique, she must have been one of, if not THE, most fascinating woman in history and it must have deeply impacted any man (or woman, I would guess) crossing her path.
I think your read too much into it like the leaders of today who is what you described none and all would have been buried just like her if they held her ranks.
I think it's possible her whole story is just that a story... What I do take from this is far to many experts are doing absolutely useless work. I would think that since so many of their narratives are under attack maybe they would be trying to prove slightly more relevant research.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And scrubs like us aren't worthy of judging. But those of her status hit that stuff hard. She was only about 20 when Caesar had to get some. And Mark Anthony hit it in her late 30s.
all beauty is, is physical apperance and no a kind heart and stuff like that is not a from of beauty like bruh
She's literlaly responsible for the Fall of her kingdom and now she's not even a beauty, wow xD
We can’t judge Cleopatra’s beauty given she was literally ancient. We especially cannot use a side profile on a coin to get an accurate representation of her. Coin making was not as precise as it is today. Even if it was, it’s not like we can tell how Washington looked based on what’s on a quarter.
you see facial reconstructions based off of the roman bust (the roman’s were not afraid to portray someone’s real features, look at emperor nero) and she’s actually quite beautiful. applying modern western beauty standards onto an ancient egyptian queen is stupid.
@@thaliakittycake8496 agreed. It doesn’t make sense. At that time, fully figured women would have been the beauty standard bc it meant they didn’t work in the fields and had access to all kinds of food. The bust you mention always seems to be discounted when talking about her. That it’s not an actual representation. I disagree. Like a profile from a crude ancient coin making process is an accurate representation. Every coin could have looked very different.
@@thaliakittycake8496you see from her statues, her coins, her fresco she is depicted in all as Hellenic. It’s Greek style and Greek features.
Even the coins she commissioned herself don’t show her as “Egyptian” but as a Greek wearing a Hellenic ribbon, a diadem.
Yeah and he called a bronze coin silver, these channels don’t know much about the topics they cover they just make anything for views…
@@thaliakittycake8496thank you
In school, one of our teacher had show to us an old coin with the profil face of cleo. She was not a beauty, but her Charisma was so strong, this is what made people fell in love with her. Beauty isn't everything after all. And when we see how beauty is shown today, I am pretty happy to be normal and not gorgeous.
The pressure, the harassment, I do not envy that. I don't want interactions to feel sexual because of the beauty, and one of my friend who is beautiful is harassed a lot by men and even have 3 stalkers in the past. People can be scary if you are beautiful. Interaction can became cringe and inconfortable, a lot of women and men that I knew, but wasn't necessary friends, had it terrible with the opposite gender because of their beauty. This is just disgusting.
So yup, I find the behavior of a lot of people ridiculous, stupid, immature, disrespectful and pervert when they interact with someone beautiful. Like the person is just beautiful and not human. Not taking in fact the feeling of the other, no, just thinking about satisfying their sexual organs. And I don't talk about people who properly introduce themselves and stay polite. But the ones who will whistle, looking your boobs or your member, not even trying to know you and only wanting to bang you (if this is consent and respect, it is OK, bang if you want, but sometimes people just go straight to this point without knowing if the person is interessed or confortable and will harass to make the other person shift their mind), or following someone, etc. This kind of disgusting behaviors that happen again and again.
So being beautiful is pretty scary for my own point of view. With all the horrors stories that I heard or read. Nope.
The coin making process was very basic with imprecise images in Ancient Times. It was a representation of Cleopatra just like the stylized version of her in wall reliefs.

While Roman historian Dio Cassius described Cleopatra as “a woman of surpassing beauty,” a number of modern historians have characterized her as less than exceptionally attractive. Nevertheless, they have noted that her beauty was heralded and that her appearance was seductive. Greek biographer Plutarch, writing about a century after Cleopatra’s death, presented a less flattering picture: "For her beauty, as we are told, was in itself not altogether incomparable, nor such as to strike those who saw her.” Plutarch, however, was quick to note Cleopatra’s “irresistible charm,” sweet voice, persuasiveness, and stimulating presence. The image of her as a sultry seductress likely stems from a narrative originally pushed by Octavian (Augustus) to rationalize his rivalry and conflict with fellow Roman Marc Antony, who was portrayed as having been manipulated by a foreign temptress. What’s more, casting Cleopatra as an evil beauty conveniently downplayed her competence and significance as a ruler.
Dion Cassius lived 200 years After Cleopatra ! He NEVER Saw her.

Plato did not create the story of Atlantis; he heard the story from someone else and wrote it down. They in turn heard the story in Egypt. It was a very old story by the time Plato wrote about it. So much so Plato was basically reminding people of it since most cultures had forgotten it, whether real or not. It is just Plato's account is the only one to survive time. Just as we only have 2 of Homer's works, of the 30+ he wrote.
Sure about that. The story is based on him actually going to Atlantis. So if he never went there, they how was he able to provide such fine details of the place he's never been too? Most people today can't even do that, with a phone in their hand.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Cleopatra was reputed to have both charm and charisma, as well as intelligence and power. With that going for her, she could have had two heads and still been alluring.

Cleopatara’s charisma WAS her beauty. A personality can get you A LOT further than you think…
Charisma, intellect and wisdom win out over time, every time. Sadly, I'm fugly and have not one of those three things. I've met many who do and it certainly made them far more endearing to others than beauty and stupidity ever have.
The Eye of Sahara in Mauritania is a fascinating location for Atlantis, but a more likely one would be by the Azores on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The first was "lost to the sea" when a flood came from the Atlantic Ocean, into the Mediterranean, and the second could have been reduced by raised sea levels. This would have been two pole shifts ago (around 11,000 BC). The last shift would have been around 4500 BC. Fast forward another 6500 years, and you've arrived around the year 2000. Shit's about to go down.
lol, neither... you r forgetting about the continental shift 15,000 years ago when "Atlantis" was supposed to have existed. The "gates of Hercules" were not where they have been lately, not at the Gibraltar ... it was at the entrance to what was the "Dark Lake" and have become the "Black Sea", water flow has been since reversed. Research ancient "Caspian Sea" shores... check out the Indo-European language origins/DNA/etc...
@@Dr.Yalex.the problem with that is that no one pays attention to Greek texts, Afrocentrics create their own narratives and own texts and so do others.
Plato tells us about an island that existed at the “mouth” of a passage, a narrow passage where you crossed and you could see the Island. That’s not the dessert of west Africa obviously. From nearby islands you could reach a huge land mass, a continent which is surrounded by the true ocean.
The travel took 2 days from Athens on sail, the Atlantians came from the west of Greece, not east, they controlled the area of Mediterranean except Greece and Egypt which United to fight against it. The destruction of Atlantis destroyed the Greek army and many Greek cities, again you need something close not desert in west Africa, to have the impact hiring Greek cities.
The surrounding area around the island became muddy and couldn’t be travelled for some time, but afterwards it could, which again not a desert in Africa.
Obviously the pillars were not where they are today, but where were they? If we think of lower water levels, we see a narrow passage forming between Italy and Tunisia, and a big island being formed, Sardegna and Corse, which might have been one, with a volcano on the north, and small islands leading to land mass either Europe, Africa or both which are indeed surrounded by the true ocean. Its 2 days voyage from Athens and on the west, it could have been untravelled for a period after the flood but later it was possible.
Theres a very strong case for Atlantis being the 'The eye of the Sahara' circular remants in the African desert, which was in an ancient flood plane fed by the Atlantic ocean for thousands of years before the sea's entry point to it stopped through natural processes including earthquakes and maybe a Tsunami that deposited so much mud it blocked the waterways permanently, prehaps from nearby Canary Island's volcanos. Many of the features match the Plato descriptions, prehaps the sea claimed it due to erruptions in the canary islands sent a Tsunami up the feeding waterways into the city, then later claimed by sand as the area desertified over once water in the area dried out. There was many such inland flood planes and giant lakes and inland seas feeding formation of jungles and forests in Africa before they receeded and formed deserts, this is also known in regions near Egypt which are now very barren, indeed its an ongoing process world wide due to tectonics.
Rodger from Mudfossil university channel verifies that. 👍
yup also that part of africa was like the amazon jungle back then... my teacher back in school arround 2012-2014 i think he was talking about robert shock (the scientist who said the sphinx was erosion was water and not air) which means the sphinx is from back when egypt was green and lush also... since i was very young ive allways believed that theres been hundreds of civilizations if not thousands before us... but the earth sometimes just decide to wipe everything out and start over... so many mysteries on this planet alone its sooo fascinating!!!
🙏 Thank u ! Also, Plato was not the only one to mention Atlantis. Plato himself gives credit to the Ancient Egyptians for the base of his knowledge on Atlantis !
Afrocentrics are ruining history.. instead of using logic and facts they use feelings and need for superiority.
If you believe Plato’s reference to Atlantis then you need to believe also the facts he gives, Atlantis was an island at the mouth of the pillars of Hercules 2 days voyage from Athens.
That’s not west Africa, it’s not 2 days voyage from Athens and there is no “mouth” (narrow passage of sea), not to mention its not an island and couldn’t be as sea level was lower.
You are correct. I remember some of our time there. The eye of the Sahara was the capital city. The Atlantic Ocean did not exist at that time. Understand that Plato only heard whispers of Atlantis.
And even those whispers were Not actually of Atlantis....but Khem the people which became the Egyptians.
Whom still told stories of the time before the Cataclysm....26000 years ago at the end of the last round.
Most of us here now....were there then.
Rigor Mortis usually sets in between 1 and 6 hours following death. It is very possible that at least some of the "screaming" mummies had died with their mouths and/or eyes open and were subsequently found after Rigor Mortis had set in, forever freezing that horrific expression upon their faces. It is not uncommon for people to die with odd facial expressions, however morticians have developed techniques for reshaping facial muscles in order to fashion a less unsettling expression.
As for Cleopatra's appearance, I don't think we'll ever really know what she looked like unless we uncover her remains. Even then, facial recreation technology can only offer us a rough estimate of how she may have appeared.
As for her supposed beauty - or lack thereof - I agree with others that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and is not universally perceived as such. On the other hand, studies have suggested that there seems to be at least one particular trait of appearance which is universally deemed to be most attractive, and that is facial symmetry. Upon comparing photos depicting several dozen different faces of people from all various walks of life, people all over the world unanimously selected the same faces they felt were most beautiful. The common trait each of these "most beautiful " faces shared was perfect symmetry with respect to the lay out and proportion of the eyes, nose and mouth. Regardless of color, age, weight, gender or any other discerning differences found among the faces, all which appeared to have perfect symmetry were deemed by respondents as beautiful.
actually facial recreation technology can get us damn close. a lot of it is basing off the muscle anchor points on the skull to determine facial muscle size then layering skin and fat over that you can get a pretty damn accurate idea of what some one looked like. combined with mdoern computer technology with massive data basses on facial muscle variations , it can get quite accurate for those that take time with it.
You don't scream during rigor mortis.
@@IrlLove yeah i'm prety sure that's NOT what OP said.
thing is when you die , all muscle tension is let go , this means eye's open and mouths open . this is why in modern funeral homes they glue their eyes shut and wire their jaws shut. before rigamortis sets in dead bodies tend to "flop" open in those areas.

In one of Julius Caesar biographies, when he first met Cleopatra, the attraction that attracted him to her, wasn’t her beauty but, that she was the most sexiest woman he ever seen.
And in one of Mark Antony’s biography, he said the same thing.
Unicorn could have been one horned rhinoceros called in Latin rhinoceros unicornis or something related to it that went extinct. The idea it resembled a horse did not come about until much later than when first written about.
It could also have been inspired by the horn of a Narwhal.
One of the most compelling theories about Atlantis was that it was in the Eye of the Sahara. That location fits the physical description of the city's alleged ringed layout perfectly. That region did get swept up in a colossal flood at one point, a settlement on the formation would have easily been swept away. The description that the Atlanteans' hubris incurred the wrath of the gods probably shouldn't be interpreted through our overly-literal modernist lens. Until relatively recently in human history, god and gods were used in reference to "the way[s] of things." God and gods means universal truth[s], not petty arbitrary beings. As in: "you overinvest in building on an unstable or precarious position, you tempt fate for it all to crumble at some point."
Further archeological evidence suggests that Egypt, before the era of pharaohs, was one of several satellite states of an empire west of them in the Sahara. With its fall, they started going their own directions.

Cleopatra was a known red head (like those of the red haired royal Ramessides) - and her haircut was either short-cut curls all over (like those of known portraits of Egyptians with wavy-curly hair at the time of Rome and the early Christian era). In other sculptures her hair let down would have SERIOUS wavy and long curls (quasi dreadlocks) or looking like a hairband holding back frizzy unkempt hair. Cleopatra's facial features would be majority Greek with a hawk nose, and some Egyptian bloodline features, like Tutanhkamon with partial high cheekbones, a potentially small receding chin, that of a girlish pumpkin face of flushed out cheeks (only in adult age getting the sunken cheek features), and any normal wide and tall - having the hair pulled back from the forehead. Cleopatra (like Elizabeth Taylor movie features) would never have worn a long hair and forehead bangs haircut.
The fact that Mark Anthony, Herod the Great, and Julius Caesar all got the hots for Cleopatra, wasn't just that she was a royal - but she was highly intelligent for her days, extremely well-versed and educated, and very sneaky-wise as well. The fact that Herod had a son Herodion by Cleopatra (killed), and Julius Caesar had a son Caesarian by Cleopatra (killed) showed that she was also alluring to the most-powerful of men in her time period. No ugliness or personality disorder about that !
May she shaved her real hair and worn wigs just how Egyptians done for hygenic reason. This would explains that on her portraits she has different hair colours (brown, black and red).
@@ZivanovaableOr her hair naturally changed color, or she dyed it. They did dye their hair back then, but people swear that hair dye is a modern era thing.
WATOP is the master of the art of the segue-from Cleopatra to the Hobbit to Andrew Talon to Aristotle.
I’m 60 and was taught in Florida schools she wasn’t beautiful she was powerful. Of meager looks but priceless.
She might not have been pretty in some eyes, she might not have been sexy in some others' eyes. But she must've been one phenomenally interesting & most memorably fascinating characters in the history of our known ages... because we all still speak about her & compare her & think about her.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so she was beautiful in some peoples eyes.

Donkey's milk is very high in lactic acid and amino acids-very good skin care and anti aging ingredients. Cleopatra also wrote a book on cosmetics and and another one on poisons. She had access to the best of the best. Even if she wasn't "beautiful" by then or now standards, she could "package" herself better than everyone else. And a lot of the time, charm can make someone appear more physically appealing than they may really be.
I'm a hospice nurse and have seen many deaths. People lose muscle tone at the end of their lives and when they are actively dying they may not be able to close their eyes. Also, their mouth drops open, hence, the appearance of 'screaming'. Hyperextension of the neck also can happen in an effort to get more air as they are dying.
Atlantis could have been a city. Nothing as big a claimed. There are a few cities they found under the sea that they didn't know about until they went scuba diving and found it. They found a place in Spain that is similar to the description of Plato's Atlantis where they find many artifacts that were at least 5000- 7500 years old. It was wiped out by earthquakes followed by tsunami's.
The catastrophe that occurred in the Younger Dryas around 12,800 years ago, though what that was is debated. There could easily have been a lost civilisation at the time. Sea levels rose by 100's of feet in a very short period, geologically speaking. Even fairly short in our perspective.
So do I think Atlantis, or whatever they might have called it exist? Maybe.
Will we ever find out? I hope so!!
Graham Hancock has some interesting books on this topic, and Randall Carlson is an absolute treasure trove of information on the Younger Dryas, well worth checking out!
I'm intrigued on the list of movies used for the clips in this video...alongside hoping at some point someone will make the Cleopatra perfume available outside of the museum. I would love to try it out.
Look up the list and make it yourself. Perfume grade essential oils are easily assessable now. However, you wouldn’t be able to find the ratios and ratios are the most important thing to a good perfume.

It did decompose. All of the metal elements used to connect girders have actually withstood the test of time
It’s crazy how we have this much knowledge from 10 thousand years ago and to think that maybe one day in the future people would have knowledge about us
I heard decades ago about Cleopatra being butt-ugly, but the word of "celebrities" (nobles, people in power, public figures, their equal to what we call "celebrities") being beautiful/sexy was common in the ancient world. The "common people" simply "would not understand" the sexual attraction of someone of such a tier being that way if they were not gorgeous... so myths of their being comely were rampant. Another nugget is ladies of ancient Egypt being quite different to what was common in ancient to now modern Europe... it was considered a power move for women to openly use their sexuality as it wasn't something a woman owes a husband or "client", it was something a woman can use to control a man if not for her own joy. The mental glitch of sex being male power and female amorality (when not in male service) was mainly in Europe and Asia, not further south, where they were less asinine on that one issue.
Not all butts are ugly

Riga-mortis sets in well before 3-4 days. I have a cousin that passed away in her bedroom on MLK day in 2018 and Riga Mortis set in w/i 3-4 hours, not days.
(If you want to read the story of what happened below you can. It was traumatizing for us)
Just about every year we have a family gathering in Las Vegas, NV with some family member that live in California. Most of those who live in Los Angeles come down to Vegas that weekend but mainly they all arrive by that Sunday to BBQ on that Monday. They mostly all use Vacation time to have a long weekend returning to CA by Wednesday evening.
This particular Sunday night (technically early Monday morning hours) she went into her room to lie down around 1am or so.
That Monday was the MLK holiday 2018.
Many family members drove into Vegas, from L.A to celebrate and Bbq. A Few family members stayed at my cousins home as she has always been very hospitable.
The others stayed in their hotels but many of us gathered at her home as family members enjoyed had been up talking and reminiscing about the 70’s and 80’s and how things have severely changed over the decades.
Fast forward. She went to bed a 1am her son went into her room to check on her as he always had done but especially because she had not been feeling well for weeks prior and she was really not herself on that day; that Sunday.
My cousin’s son had always checked on his mom before bed to tell her he loved her and give her a kiss and hug goodnight. She liked that too, because she maintained peace of mind that he was home and safe.
This time he said he thought he heard voices or something in her room. So it is now 4:30am as he was going to check on her and family members who were not spending the holiday at her home are headed to their cars to go to their hotels.
As everyone was calling it a night he let them out and locked the door. He then goes to his moms room to check on her and give her a hug and kiss goodnight letting her know he was headed to bed. When he kissed her forehead he said she was very cold to the touch. Then, he gently shook her and asked her was she ok. But there was no response and she was very stiff. Again, he had never seen or been around someone who passed away before, not even a funeral. She was cold and very stiff. He ran and told the remaining family members who were saying at the house there something was wrong. His mom was not responding, she was cold and stiff. They called the ambulance while another family member was attempting CPR but she was too stiff. The ambulance was there w/i 7-10 mins and they stated she had to have died when she went to lie down 3-4 hours ago bc Riga-Mortis set in.
I was in Paris in 2017. I walked around Notre Dame, but did not go in. I wish I had. It gives me comfort, though, to know that Notre Dame has not been in original form for a long time. No, I am not glad that parts of it had already been destroyed and refurbished, I am glad that I did not miss out on its original form. I still regret my decision, though. Thank the universe for Andrew Talon.
even if not conventionally beautiful by todays standards she had greek features and ancient greek features were known for their aristocratic aura. besides just by looking at her side face you cant decide on that alone. a person may seem uglier side faced but when you face them head on their features may be bonding well together and seem prettier. even non straight noses can look good on a face if in harmony with the other features.
Los egipcios se consideran a si mismos los supervivientes de Atlantis.
Y hace poco surgió una teoría interesante y convincente que la sitúa en el Ojo del Sáhara.
Recordemos que Troya era un mito hasta que se encontró.
…went kind of off topic did we 😂
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
20:15 Funny you make no mention of the Eye of the Sahara which is where Atlantis was 8-10k years ago. All the geographic points to Plato's description are a match and Plato was not one to tell tails. The "story" was not fiction, he was telling this as fact as he was a factual person.
It would be like Neil Degras Tyson writing about aliens in Alpha Centauri. He is a factual man it would make no sense for him to make up a story.
Atlantis never existed.
The Eye of Sahara is just a geological formation.
@9:00
Just one MORE reason why Jimmy Neutron is the best show. Those mummies had their mouths open all of the time.
Everybody has its own definition of beauty..
9:25 love the doctor who part
Beauty has a lot to do with your outfit that you are wearing. This includes jewelry and hair and makeup. If you have the most beautiful clothes and jewelry, perfect hair and makeup you will be considered the most beautiful. It doesn't matter what you actually look like. You could take any supermodel and take away all their makeup and jewelry, mess up and dirty their hair and give them sweat pants and a sweatshirt. You probably wouldn't think they looked better than an average person who is wearing a $5000 dress. It's all about your appearance. I think this was also the case back then. Cleopatra was probably an average looking woman who had the most expensive clothing and jewelry. That automatically gives her a huge advantage.
Clothes, jewels, hair and make up do not make a woman beautiful but they do help
@@lynette50 They most certainly do. Have you ever seen someone get a makeover? What about the countless movies where the girl goes from rags to perfection? There's even tiktok videos of woman showing themselves looking like an absolute goddess and then they show themselves without make up and you're like woah, that can't be the same person, but it is. Those things have everything to do with making someone beautiful. If it wasn't true, woman wouldn't spend hours putting on makeup everyday.
@@mysterydude1 Might certainly be the case in some circumstances, in other cases the natural beauty will come throug no matter how you dress them.
In most of the movies you mention, the girls are attractive even before their "beautification". Pretty Woman, She's All That, Princess Diaries, 10 Thing I Hate About You. They're all pretty from the beginning really...
You doubt the existence of Noa's Arc calming it would not be possible to built by the people of that period of time ?🤔 Well, then who do you think built the Egyptian pyramids, aliens ? 😂😂
the arc was build by 1 or 2 people. egyptians had a lot of people building the piramid and more money for materials. so i would not doudt it the arc existed just it was much smaller
But pyramids aren't 1000 feet long...imagine building a ship with wood which is as big as a mountain...Noah's arc is just a myth...there are people that lie and exagerate even in the era of social media..then imagine a time where meeting a foreigner was a very very rare case and knowing about their background was even rarer...these people would portray themselves and their culture magestically to look important and get respect...that too in the influence of alcohol and psychedelic plants and unknown mental diseases...Christianity passed on from middle east (where opium and tobacco were used extensively) to Europe (wine and alcohol was very popular) which is a very long distance and so the stories of bible are just exagerated small events that were used as tactics to convert more people into following the religion (or to bring fear among people to follow the word of god/prophet)...there are many scriptures (ancient Indian, Greek, Egyptian, arabian,etc) that describe flood myths but that was only a fear of mankind as they lived in dense colonies near water bodies like river, lake, sea, etc..they used fear of floods to force and manipulate people into following their rules and regulations to assert dominance and power which is a common human nature.. understand.. religion is just an invention of humans..
She held the keys to Egypt. It doesn't matter if she was conventionally beautiful or not.
Years ago, I was teaching a lesson about Egypt to middle school students whereupon I asked them if they wanted to know what she looked like. I pulled up a coin with her image engraved upon it, & the class concluded that at least by modern standards, she wasn't much of a looker.
To be exactly, it was Cleopatra VII. Cause in the Ptolemaic dynasty they all had the name Ptolemy (kings) or Cleopatra (queens) with little exception (that mostly only where co-kings/queens)
So if we talk about "the famous Cleopatra", wife of Caesar, its already the 7th of that name ;)
She wasn’t Caesar’s wife.
@@MorallyDubiousFrog Yea, my fault. She was his lover. No official marriage but still, they had a child. Ptolemy XV Caesar, also known as Caesarion.
@@TheVanclif a child that Caesar never acknowledged as his own.
@@MorallyDubiousFrog As so many fathers did not with their "illigitim" kids
the creepy screaming mummies aren't anything crazy . I work at a funeral home and half of the people that I have seen have the "looking into the face of God" look on their faces
That was a lof of stuff to learn butttt I liked it.
I remember when Troy was a myth until it wasn't.
You should've talked a little about the richat structure in Mauritania, it's the most probable place of Atlantis.
Never believe a random guy on the internet, that he has found the Most probable spot to find atlantis at. (Even though you may be right..)
@@vinniethepuuh7553 yeah, i know, but there's a lot of evidences corroborating into that be the right one. :D
bruh this thumbnail 💀💀
Bruh what do u saw?
which one
What show/movie/music video is the clip (7:00) of the honey getting dumped on peoples heads. I find it hard to believe that it’s stocked footage
She was beautiful, no one can ever prove otherwise coz no one in our time ever saw her
When you think your smarter than god
Does he exist tho?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I believe Cleopatra's beauty wasn't skin deep but it was her intelligence and allure that made her the most beautiful.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wealth makes many gorgeous
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!! And everyone is beautiful to someone especially if you hold power
I'm 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 scientists and historians 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 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 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 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 Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or British or Turkish or Israelites, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans.
WE ARE
EGYPTIANS,
WE ARE
VERY UNIQUE!
I'm an American and I agree with you
Where did the picture on the thumbnail come from. With the skull mask
I remember years ago ,they've found a coin with her face on it. From that I've knew she was as good looking as they said. But most times, looks isn't what they're looking at, it's more on how the person is and or the energy from the person.
Dear men of culture, the original thumbnail resembles a scene from a 1971 movie played by Valerie Leon, go dig in ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How can you say Atlantis is a "Myth" like it's a fact? You actually really DON'T know.. You can have that option but that is all it is ..
People claim God and spirits are myths, too (much to my frustration that they push "it's a myth" as truth)
Well, it is a fact that it's a Myth untill proven wrong so.. yeah, it's a myth.
@@EmilyS-gk3st If your god isn't a myth, hindu godess Kali isn't either. You should be scared.
@@Mark_GL it is a myth when you can look at satellite imagery and legit see where it used to be AND the fact that it’s where Plato said it was?
@@Mark_GL God Himself said no other Gods exist but Him, so yes, Kali would be a creation of man, while God isn't.
Yes, I can see you getting all up in my face about me claiming my God is the only one, but you can't really prove your "science", either. Your black holes have never actually been seen, and you cannot prove that there isn't a higher power that created Earth and humanity. So you have no more "proof" of your atheist theories than I do my own religious ones.
Don't try and convince me God doesn't exist. I've had way too many miracles and experiences in my life to deny His existence.
