More than two thousand years after her death, Cleopatra still commands attention in a way few historical figures ever have. Her name evokes power, intrigue, beauty, danger, and intelligence—sometimes all at once. Films, books, documentaries, and online debates keep returning to her story.

Of course they did, EVERYTHING was edited. Why do we believe thr same institution who destroyed Maya codices, Libraries like Alexandria, as well as most indigenous populations would actually give you THEIR history. Her mother Arsinoe,remains were found a few years back. Despite this, they’ve consistently told the same story. Gonna be this way As long as we rely on academic institutions
