an important factual presentation by me
All the facts.
No, no, no.
Seriously, I get what you’re going for, but stop using Cleopatra as an example when there are tons of great Egyptian queens who we have actual archeological evidence were black or olive skinned. Because Cleopatra was super Greek.
Ancient Egypt is not a monolith. It was invaded multiple times, by desert dwelling Hittites, by the people of modern Sudan, and once by Alexander the Great.
Alexander put his very Greek general in charge, and eventually this ended up as the Ptolemaic dynasty, a bunch of Greek people intermarrying each other, until we got Cleopatra the Famous. Cleopatra was one of the first people in her dynasty to learn native Egyptian because the rest of them spoke solely Greek. Her father worshipped Dionysus. There’s even some evidence she may have been a red head. She was probably white, albeit Mediterranean white.
Ancient Egypt had dozens of dynasties and tons of rulers. Most of them were not white, why do you guys keep insisting on ignoring all of the great Quuens like Tiye, Ankhsenamun, and Nefertiti to focus on Cleopatra and ignoring historical facts about her?
