Yep, pure blooded descendant of Ptolemy, one of Alexander's generals. Ignorance used to be something people tried to hide, not put out there for everybody to see.

But ignorance is the highest form of flattery!

Not true, for some reason they don’t know who Cleopatra’s mother was. She had a half sister whose mother was Ethiopian.

So pure that in some cases the parents were brother and sister. I don't see much racial mixing between the Ptolemy and the Egyptian bloodlines (not that the other Egyptians were black) either.
