What You Think You Know.

What people need to consider are the obvious rules of War: To the victor goes the spoils. After an entity conquers another, the conquering entity has the privilege to rewrite and recapture history the way they see fit. This is why such a phrase as "revisionist history" even exists in the first place.

Now, when it comes to the topic of Cleopatra, I've tried explaining this to people in a billion different ways but to no avail, because most people have bought into this idea that whatever they've been taught or mentally trained to believe through imagery and insinuation is the end-all and be-all to whatever the topic of discussion is, in their minds, as the almighty objective truth when it's everything but.

The so-called modern historians of today claim that she was a white woman soley because of her Greek paternity but the question still remains centuries later: Who was her biological mother and why was she denied a place in history? The answer is obvious if you ask me: She was expelled because she was a black woman, probably a local, and Ptolemy XII evoked the common law of legitimization to validate Cleopatra as one of his trueborn offspring in name and title. What people tend to forget is that ancient Egypt - a country in Africa, mind you - hadn't been conquered by those of Middle Eastern descent during the Islamic Conquests of North Africa yet, making the ancient Egyptians black themselves.

The only reason any of this is even debated is because of two reasons: The racism perpetrated by White settlers, documentarians, and explorers in the early centuries and because of the modern hijacking of Ancient Egyptian culture by Hollywood over the past hundred years and some change. The images we've been shown in films and modern media are historically incorrect.
