Cleopatra Then & Now

Cleopatra Then & Now

A pair of images of Cleopatra VII Philopato, one from mid-1st Century Rome and another from Netflix’s 2023 rewrite of history in which they try to convince the world that the last scion of the rather heavily inbred – something they picked up from the native Egyptians – Macedonian Ptolemaic dynasty, which we have the entire bloodline of recorded, was somehow, someway a Black.

Hell! In the promo image shown above, they even darkened the actress’ skin!

I guess they figure that, if they can’t eradicate White history, they’ll just steal it and blackwash it. I guess that makes a certain level of sense though since they’ve little enough recorded history of their own and what they do have is hard to sanitize for a modern audience and to fit with their narrative of being the oppressed rather than oppressors and slavers or worse, being allies and trading partners with European nations.
