Why is Cleopatra white?

I saw THAT trailer and now I need to write this 'cause this the x times that this argument is trending.

1- Cleopatra VII Philopator ( the father beloved ) was a Greek Queen in an Egyptian Empire, or even better an Hellenistic Empire

1B - Hellenistic Period: "Hellenistic" is distinguished from "Hellenic" in that the latter refers to Greece itself, while the former encompasses all ancient territories under Greek influence, in particular the East after the conquests of Alexander the Great." via wikipedia eng

2- Hellenistic Empire were ruled by Macedonian men, descendent from Alexander's generals. I used the term "Macedonian" 'cause the Greek were very racist and they saw Macedonians as inferior, almost barbaric

2B- Barbarian: a person who don't speak Greek or follow Greek costumes so a non-Greek

2C - I know, Greek and Macedonia are really close but Greek were racist

3 - Cleopatra's ancestor was general Ptolemy I, Ptolemy Soter aka Ptolemy the savoir. Or he was called " Lagide" as "son of Lago".

4- Ptolemy was married 3 times: with a Persian princess and with two Macedonian noblewoman Euridyce and Berenice, Euridyce'cousin.

5- Ptolemy decided that his sons must follow the Egyptian ways when it comes to marriage so incestous marriage between brother and sister, or half brothers.

6 - From him to Cleopatra VII the Ptolemaic pharaohs always married their sisters, their aunt, their cousins, sometimes even their daughters, the last only spiritually to be clear. The only exception was Ptolemy V who married Cleopatra I, a Seleucid princess

6B Seleucid were Macedian too

7- Cleopatra was inbreed 'cause the Ptolemaic were fully Targaryen, even more

8- we don't know her mother but even if she was a Nubian woman or an Egyptian... she could not be black but mixed race

9- Assuming her mother was not Cleopatra Tryphaena, Ptolemy's sister AND wife, it's not possible she's could be black 'cause Egyptian are not black, they never were

9B ther's a Nubian dynasty who ruled Egypt but they were an unicum

Conclusion: Cleopatra was white 'cause genetically her ancestor never mixed with natives aristocracy.

I know how rep is importan, I'm a latina woman who growp up In Italy via adoption, but I'm an historian too and while I defend rep I defend only GOOD and real rep.

Starting Point for the Hellenistic Period

My time in college was uneventful but fruitful, and one of the best books I’ve ever read covering ancient history made its way into my hands at that time. If I were a clickbait-y type, I might say the “CONTENTS WILL SHOCK YOU” but they probably won’t. It’s a sourcebook that contains curated sources from the Hellenistic Period all throughout the eastern Mediterranean. It’s comprehensive, but sometimes remarkably dull. It gives you extremely edgy or grand-scale proclamations but also carries in it shipping manifests from Egypt that give you an idea of just how much of the world was grown in Egyptian fields.

Yet, history is simultaneously really cool and really dull. Transport yourself back in time and the world will be both alien and familiar in equal measure. People are people are people, but we’ve got a significant time gap that can make mundane things extraordinary. That being said, I forgot to mention the name of the book. 

Here’s a name:

The Hellenistic World from Alexander to the Roman Conquest: A Selection of Ancient Sources in Translation

Here’s an Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Hellenistic-World-Alexander-Roman-Conquest/dp/0521535611 And finally, here’s an ISBN for the library-inclined:

978-0521535618

It’s a great book to read casually. Open it up, digest a single source (usually no more than a few pages), and then put it down. You’ll find that the Hellenistic world was dynamic, interesting, and not very well studied by the mainstream. 

One of my favorite theses in the book is that at a certain point, the histories and cultures of east and west (in Mediterranean terms) began to diverge, and were then mended by Rome, and then split apart again later. It’s interesting to see groups of people developing close to and in tandem with others, but following a thread of history that goes in a completely different direction.

Was that a tangent? Sorry, get the book. It’s a textbook but if you are interested in this era it’s well worth it.

Thanks for reading.

Boy mummies wear bandages that cover their whole bodies and have clothes over them.

Girl mummies wear bandages that cover their torsos and some sections of (but not all of) their arms and legs, and wear accessories over their bandages but no clothes.

Logic 👍
