There are many such stories in the stories of history which are testifying about the beauty of Cleopatra, but in the upcoming documentary series 'Queen Cleopatra' on Netflix, the color of the queen is shown dark. Questions are being raised regarding this. Even a lawsuit has been filed on Netflix, arguing that Cleopatra is being shown as Black African in the series, which is wrong. Today in History-Mystery we will talk about this beautiful queen and her famous stories.
Queen Cleopatra and Mysterious Tales
As much as the stories of Queen Cleopatra are famous in history, her exploits are discussed equally. It is said that after the death of her father at the age of 18, Cleopatra married her brother Ptolemy to maintain her existence in the Sultanate. Although some historians also argue that Cleopatra had married both her brothers according to Pharaoh's civilization, but they also accept that the purpose behind this marriage was that there should be no division of power.
When the brother rebelled
Cleopatra and Ptolemy started ruling together, her ambitions were big, in such a way she wanted to take over the power of Egypt. When Ptolemy realized this, he conspired against Cleopatra and expelled her from the country.
Beauty was cleopatra's weapon
Cleopatra's beauty was her biggest weapon. With this she used to control anyone, she also proved this in her lifetime. He had relations with many kings, when Cleopatra was expelled from Egypt, he sided with Julius Caesar, the ruler of Rama. Julius was so fascinated by Cleopatra that he was ready to do anything. The queen took advantage of this and attacked Egypt and killed her brother Ptolemy and became the queen of Egypt.
Knowledge of many languages
It is said that Cleopatra was as beautiful as she was clever and knowledgeable, she had knowledge of many languages. She also possessed medicinal knowledge and knew about many poisons. Being a connoisseur of languages, she used to associate with anyone and get the secret out of him.
Balance of the three powers of rome
Cleopatra was a very special queen. He left his influence not only on Julius Caesar but also on Octavian and Mark Anthony. The special thing is that Mark Anthony was Caesar's general. After Caesar's death, Octavian became his successor, and Cleopatra also trapped Octavian in her love loop. It is said that on his behest, Cleopatra had fraudulently got Mark Anthony killed. However, his spell on Octavian did not last long.
Historians have different views on this matter, some say that Octavian had killed Cleopatra and some say that the queen had committed suicide. Writers and artists also created different Cleopatras in literature and art. Some historians also say that Cleopatra did not get Anthony killed. Rani had to take her own life in front of him, after which Anthony also committed suicide.
This is the root of the dispute
Historians have not yet reached a clear conclusion about where Cleopatra was originally from. Some historians consider him to be of Mesodomia while some consider him to be of Africa. This is because Cleopatra's siblings were half African. In the upcoming documentary on Netflix on May 10, Cleopatra has been shown as Black African, which is a matter of dispute.
