Queen Cleopatra, the series. Lets start with the obvious, she was Macedonian Greek. The MSM have been bleating and moaning, squealing at anyone daring to point out the obvious. They say no one can be sure but we have historical documents that do describe her and busts, that make it pretty clear who she was and who she was not.
Putting this aside, is this series any good? I'd say its alright. I think it tries to justify its choices by adopting an overly serious tone. It does call on academics to, I'm guessing, amongst other things, to validate its position.
Well, here it is. Hollywood race swapped Cleopatra, and then called Egypt "racist" for wanting to preserve it's history from being rewritten.
And now, to not be called "racist" by the people who rewrote history to put in their racial politics, you have idiots claiming that no one knows if Cleopatra was African or not... so mission accomplished, they successfully re-wrote Egyptian History, shamed the Egyptians, and insulted their heritage so much that Netflix is being sued by Egypt... and in the process convinced some woke morons that history can be rewritten, to suit racial politics, and th... read the rest.
A simplistic drama/documentary view of Cleopatra and her entanglements with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony which has yet again ignited the black debate.
No one really knows if Cleopatra was African black, as it were, yet even the Egyptians are enraged that she is portrayed in this way, although the actress, Adele James is of mixed race and therefore coffee coloured.
I say simplistic because it's an accurate historical account of Cleopatra's life for anyone who wants a quick history lesson, but it's tainted by modern verbiage from the quasi academics who provide historical input.
A fictional fantasy being passed off as a documentary. Need I say more? It is ridiculous that something like this can be funded and supported by Netflix. Culturally appropriating and changing a whole history and culture, completely undermines archeological and historical facts just to serve the delusions of the culture-less. Someone's grandma claims Cleopatra is black is just a fraction of how big of a joke this so-called documentary is. Embarrassing.
