Cancel Cleopatra Netflix for falsifying history
The Issue
Cleopatra was born in Alexandria Egypt but was not "African" as she was of a pure Ptolemiac dynesty which is more of a Macdonian Greek.
Featuring her as "African" is a clear falsification of history.
Egypt is a 7000 years old nation wih Diverse origins. We do not see skin color like the rest of the new world as a definer - meaning - There are 100% DNA Egyptians from Greek origins snd also 100% DNA Egyptians that are African origins and so on as Egypt has been a destination for many nations through history. Cleopatra happens to be a Greek Egyptian ... simply put.
Born in 70 or 69 B.C., Cleopatra was a daughter of Ptolemy XII (Auletes), a descendant of Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander The Great's generals and the founder of the Ptolemaic line in Egypt. Her mother was believed to be Cleopatra V Tryphaena, the king's wife (and possibly his half-sister).
