She is one of the few who actually looked good even by today’s standards. There is a huge amount of misinformation out there about Egyptians.
Fro instance, Cleopatra instead of being a Negro as she is regularly portrayed on TV, Movies etc., Was almost pure blooded Macedonian Greek and had blonde hair,fair skin and had no connection of any kind to any Sub-Saharan people except as master to them.
Also Ramses the Great had red wavy hair and that is not in dispute. They know for sure he did, Yet I don’t think he has ever been portrayed that way. I predict that in some future film he will be portrayed by Morgan Freeman. or The Rock.
I hate historical inaccuracies, especially when it is being used to push some radical social agenda which is based on lies. purposely misleading ideas and even more lies.
On the HBO series ‘Rome’ Cleopatra was pretty good looking.
History Channel’s new series “Battles B.C.” portrayed Hannibal as a huge black man.
I *had* set the DVR, to record all episodes of the series but after that, I deleted the timer.
Speaking of which, a lot of that seems to stem from the 1930s and 40s in the US, when the writings of a Briton, Gerald Massey, became popular. He was a writer heavily invested in linking everything he could to Egypt, that originally God was female, and atheists and Wiccans today like to cite his claims that Judaism and Christianity evolved from Egypt and that Jesus was just a copy of Horace.
