does hollywood realize that other egyptian queens existed prior to cleopatra and that lupita nyongo needs to be cast as nefertiti
#personal#like there's something to be said about the fact that#out of hundreds of years of native egyptian rulers#the movie industry wants to focus on the one descended from incestuous greeks (basically The White One)#not to mention that cleo's kinda famous just for losing egypt to the romans#which like no shade but there are better queens#nefertiti was an actual freaking PHARAOH#so was hatshepsut#there are more interesting stories than just the end of the ptolemaic line#who were white grecian colonizers essentially
