DementedDurian 04/14/23 5:56:09 PM #17:	Part of the reason I wanted to be a girl was seeing Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra and feeling like beauty was something I wanted for myself. The truth is, Cleopatra's true looks has been lost to history. I know people tend to bicker on this, but Cleopatra is often thought of being average beauty for her time. Like Jesus, her appearance have been fictionalized to the point where no one is really sure about what they looked like. --- (She/Her) Something, something, succubus. Something, something, that's me.

ParanoidObsessive 04/14/23 6:11:53 PM #23:	LordRazziel posted... Maybe... Not maybe. She was historically documented to be Greek. It's valid to argue over whether early Egyptians were black or some other ethnicity (because there's a fair amount of evidence both for and against, and it's not helped by most legit historians deliberately avoiding the issue out of fear of political incorrectness), but we know pretty definitively that the Ptolemaic Dynasty was fairly pure-blood Greek. Crimsoness posted... We know she was the last of the line of Ptolemy don't we? She's likely mixed though I'd wager. Almost certainly not. From what we know of the Ptolemies they were hugely against mixing their blood with the "commoners". It's one of the reasons why they were basically known for a lot of brother-sister marriages. The assumption has always been that most members of the Ptolemaic line were about as Greek as it gets.

El_Marsh 04/14/23 7:07:32 PM #36:	Isn't there a well known bust that was actually produced in her lifetime? Between it and the surviving coinage which is somewhat consistent with her portrayal in said bust (yet comes from different places in the Roman empire), I'm of the opinion that she was mostly Greek. I'm skeptical that she was of entirely Greek ancestry (it was not uncommon for rulers of foreign extraction to hook up with the native nobility, as it was politically advantageous to do so in many respects) but the few remaining 1st century BC portraits of her lead to me to believe that she had some fairly pronounced European features (particularly her nose, which is easily the most prominent feature in all such images). The truth is, nobody knows for sure and short of finding her remains and doing years and years of testing on them, we never will. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv Chiefs win! Chiefs win!

YellowSUV 04/14/23 9:53:08 PM #48:	Heard about Netflix Cleopatra yesterday. Thought it was some generic drama and it was just people complaining about the skin color of an actor when it didn't matter at all. Didn't know it was some documentary where they literally have people spouting pseudo-history about Cleopatera being black when all the actual evidence points to her being Greek. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! <cite>YellowSUV posted [p:972850482] in New Netfli...

It is inaccurate and the history of my country is often misappropriated, dramatized or sensationalized. Usually as a cash grab but also rooted in racism. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:972858707] in New Netfli...

harley2280 04/15/23 11:21:48 AM #51:	DementedDurian posted... Part of the reason I wanted to be a girl was seeing Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra and feeling like beauty was something I wanted for myself. The truth is, Cleopatra's true looks has been lost to history. I know people tend to bicker on this, but Cleopatra is often thought of being average beauty for her time. Like Jesus, her appearance have been fictionalized to the point where no one is really sure about what they looked like. She was no Helen of Troy that's for sure. --- PSN/GT: Harley2280 <cite>harley2280 posted [p:972858898] in New Netfli...
