Of Greek Descendant

Contrary to what our professors must have taught us, Cleopatra is not an Egyptian. Or Maybe, you have known that already. Her ancestors were Greeks from Macedonia. Anyway, Cleopatra has been associated with beauty. The ancient scrolls tell of her alluring good looks that was able to charm the most prominent man then, Julius Caesar. The story goes that Cleopatra lived 69 years earlier than Jesus Christ. This is why we have in the Bible a verse that talks of the coin that bears the face of Caesar.

Cleopatra is a very intelligent woman. Although there are no clear accounts of her physical features, historians, especially the elders who succeeded in passing to their descendants chronicles of the reign of Caesar, claim that Cleopatra is uniquely beautiful. The most prominent part of her face is her aquiline nose. Her stature resembles that of a goddess that whenever she walks past the castle or sails on the Nile one cannot but admire her. This same qualities made her queen of Egypt. But, her kingdom was established all because she worked for it. Egypt was never handed to her, she desired for it. When she was hailed Queen of Egypt, the country flourished just like Rome.

It is just amazing that Cleopatra, although she has the innate ability to manipulate men, did not use it for her self. The lavish gatherings and precious gifts that she offers to the invaders and strangers (who were, obviously, all males) were symbols of friendship. Cleopatra kept the beauty of Egypt because she thought that it will invite allies. If there were intimate relationships that developed between she and her 'friends', Cleopatra never planned for those.
