Egyptians were not racism—skin color didn’t mean much to them—some pharaohs were white, some were black, but most were brown—hamic people. They should have cast Mexicans or south Americans. Egyptians were only interested in the Gods you worshipped. Cleopatra was a Greek—not one bit of Egyptian blood—but she spoke Egyptian (as well as nine other languages) dressed like an Egyptian, worshiped and ate like an Egyptian and was fully accepted as an Egyptian by her people (or most of them in any case).

she spoke Egyptian (as well as nine other languages) dressed like an Egyptian, worshiped and ate like an Egyptian and . . . she could . . . Walk Like An Egyptian

Comparing the Ptolemaic Egypt to Pharonic Egypt is like comparing modern Italy to the Roman Empire.

Yes, Cleopatra did all those things and was accepted as an Egyptian, but one question remains. Could she walk like an Egyptian?

Sorry, the question needed to be asked.

But did she Walk Like an Egyptian?

Sorry. I responded before seeing 45 other people responded the same thing...groan.
