- The Early Life Of Cleopatra | Ancient Egypt's Last Pharaoh
This video is an extended trailer for the History Hit TV documentary: Rise of Cleopatra. Watch it here: access.historyhit.com/what-s-...
How did Cleopatra became one of the most influential and powerful women of the ancient world?
In this film three leading Egyptologists explore how Cleopatra became one of the most influential and powerful women of the ancient world.
We trace how Cleopatra's learning and intelligence enabled her to gain control of her own Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt; skilfully and ruthlessly overcoming her own family and manipulating Egyptian politics and religion to her own advantage. We discover the influence that the magnificent city of Alexandria exerted over the eastern Mediterranean and how Rome's growing power impinged on Egypt. Cleopatra played a difficult and skilful game negotiating relations with Rome, engaging both diplomatically and personally first with Julius Caesar and then Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony). Our experts consider how Cleopatra's remarkable personality enabled her to play such a key role in the first century BCE.
The film uses imagery from the worlds of art and motion pictures, as well as key Egyptian artefacts and locations, to investigate the representation and story of this remarkable and much misunderstood leader - unpicking the fact from the myth.

The strong emphasis on Cleopatra's place in the Ptolomeic Dynasty is key. Well presented. Nice one! ✨👍
Wait. I need more!! 😅
So intriguing, thank you for the family tree, it makes it all less confusing.
I love this content. I paused my Netflix and signed up to your channel.
Applaud for you no doubt one very important channel in information for us tank you
i recently found ur channel and i love ur videos! would u consider using human-generated captions instead of autogenerated ones?? the automatic captions r kind of hard to follow as someone with auditory processing issues and i imagine its much more difficult for those who r hard of hearing.
Love this channel and loved this post. Such a pity that the music was a bit too loud in places and I've struggled focusing on the story...
@Janitor Queen I am new to this channel and I don’t have anything to do with them 🥹 Regards from Australia!
Mind blown. Thx for sharing the story in such a comprehensive way. I finally can understand it better and have it somehow grasped. Can't wait to hear the rest.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@Janitor Queen OMG !!! LOOOOL !!! I Have a nice middle finger for you. and it's for free.
She banged Marc Anthony that's all you need to know. That's all she's known for.
Was Cleopatra Black? Some people say she was. #racism czcams.com/video/43-xiuATKXM/video.html
Love your work 👍
I learned a lot about her and I got a lot of respect for her and also I feel bad that she made some bad some bad decisions that ultimately cost her everything. But history is filled with the same things.
Ptolomey managed to take over Egypt by claiming to be Alexander the greats secret brother, after his death (son of Philip the 2nd, alexanders dad) this is the only reason he pulled it off. As Alexander was seen as a God to the Egyptians. It worked, he then stole Alexander's body (which was due to be taken back to macedon) and had it taken to Alexandria, ptolomey was then buried with Alexander at one point I believe?) A brilliant lie that made him and kept his line of Pharoahs to cleopatra, a lot of her success is because of the romans running the showing. These were sitting pharaohs under romes control, hence Caeser etc being there when trouble developed. I'd say the backstory to Cleo is more interesting! Delve at your leisure. Eventually Caesers nephew (Octavias) went to war against Mark Anthony who had had kids with Cleo, and they committed suicide when Octavias and Caesers old legions came knocking for revenge to Caesers murders. Fascinating
Forgive the spelling :)
Mark Antony was not involved in the assassination of Julius Caesar and Octavian did not go to war against him for revenge. Octavian was essentially forced to go after his former ally and rival because Antony proclaimed Cleopatra's supposed son with Caesar as the true heir of Caesar.
I don't forgive you. Only God can

The music is a bit too much at times in an otherwise great video
Who wrote the song that goes “Cleo-patera”. ??
Cleopatra spoke 5 or more languages fluently, welcomed all nationalities to her country, was the richest ruler in the world during her reign and embraced the history of Egypt by following and styling herself as Isis. She was envied and loathed by the Male Rulers of the period and they actively conspired to bring an end to her sovereignty.
@Herr Spiegel I agree her visit to Rome was a mistake but I admire her and it bothers me that she is disparaged so much.

Was she your neighbor or something? 😂
@@ssherrierable Would have been an absolutely marvelous adventure to have Cleopatra over for chitchat and beers!❤️
She spoke 9 different languages fluently.
If you’re going to do this, it would be nice to flag up early on that it’s an excerpt, rather than the whole thing.
Just so everyone is clear. Cleopatra was of Greek descent.
Wait I thought she was of Macedonian decent
@@cyankirkpatrick5194 even by the time of Cleopatra, Macedon can be called Greece. After King Philip & Alexander the Great, Macedon was no longer an upstart on the periphery of Greece.
@Janitor Queen Yes and no its pretty sure here mother was cleopatra the fifth since noone at her time claimed she was illigimate, its her grandmother we dont know who are. ALSO her line has a lot of persian in it
@@tuehojbjerg969 Strabo claimed she was illegitimate.
3:00 Ptolemy
4:00 Egypt = client state of Rome
7:00 nightmare of a family
10:00 Cyprus annexed by Rome 58 BC
TY for posting but none of this is new infor. I thought there was new information abt her early life. Title is misleading.
Loving the content. I watched so many and enjoyed them all. I did have a thought though. The show cites some historic artwork, but from what I can tell, not the modern artwork. I know that the production is probably well respecting the semantics of what's paid for and required to be cited. But shouldn't all creators be given credit for their work?
In truth she had two older sisters Cleopatra bernice, and Cleopatra Arsinoe
No, she didn't. Arsinoe was her youngre sister. Her older sister was Berenike and there might be other sister, Cleopatra Tryphaena.
❤😊
Very interesting but would be better without the crap music
It’s a documentary. What do you want? Drake?
Pompey goes to Egypt to try to make an alliance with Ptolemy but the pharaoh kills him in order to make an alliance with ceasar which backfires and cleopatra ends up back on the throne. I’m 99% sure that’s what happens next
*Cleopatra was born in around 69 BC*
Lit Intro 👌🏻
She was Greek, I believe.
Love you guys, but the dialog mix levels on this are all over the place. Pick a decibel and stick to it, audio person! Oof the non-stop music makes it even worse. Pick your moments, my guy.
"Cleopadra" is the right pronunciation.
Thanks for the bait and switch job. This was very interesting but you have to pay for the rest of the story.
One of Cleopatra's daughters was raised in Rome and married off to a North African king.
Cleopatra's daughter's tomb still exists in Algeria.
really? then we can dna test her and confirm if the tomb found was indeed her aunt and cleo's sister Arsinoe
There is nothing to do with Cleopatra's tomb in Algeria, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. There is more than one name, Cleopatra
She had only one daughter.
@@angelabby2379 No, we can't, as tomb of Queen Selene (Cleopatra the Great's daughter) is empty. We know she was buried there, but she vanished since.
Quick facts. 1. The bust is Cleopatra Selene (Cleopatra VII and Mark Anthony's daughter) 2. Because Cleopatra was from an invading force, she was not the last Pharoah. Unless you believe Tom Cruise was the Last Samurai... I know its CZcams, no research, just put out some BS for Views...
Tom Cruise wasn't the Last Samurai in the movie.... the title is quite unrelated since its a real story and start demise of samurai clan, they are obselete against english canon
@@angelabby2379 LMAO I see i get to teach today. Fact 1 "based on a true story" Fact 2 he applies what they taught him after the battle with the canons. He is returning to America as a Samurai. Since he is the last one you see, he is the last Samurai. (If you are going by the movie" carry on...
@@signalhilltv5237 uh.. nope you are just prejudice and projecting being taught to fight like samurai doesn't make you a samurai... it's a class system.
so no he wasn't the last samurai... the last samurai is more as in demise of the samurai class system when the British helped the emperor eradicate them..
@@angelabby2379 can you tell me the Powerball numbers for the next drawing. U have to be a God if you know my thought process. And prejudice against who?
'. Because Cleopatra was from an invading force, she was not the last Pharoah.' - She wasn't invading force. Macedonians were viewed liberators, not invaders. She was legitimate Pharaoh. Ptolemies were acknolwedged as such by Egyptian priesthood. If they weren't Pharaohs, there neither were Nuubians and Libyans - and Egyptians did view them as Pharaohs and inlcuded on King lists.
CleO-patra, not CleA-patra.
{:o:O:}
What a nose on her
it runs in those of greek, persian, and west asian decent.
When y'all going to stop lying they found black Egyptian kings inside the Grand canyon
🤡
At 1:43 all I've seen so far is talking heads saying nothing. Bye.
That was the introduction to the show🤷
@@cshartley101 No, it was a waste of time to cover up the fact that there was no show. They were not giving information and were not going to.
I really dislike documentaries that have overly long introductions. I'm now two minutes in, and I've learned nothing. Just two minutes of stating over and over again that Cleopatra is an important historical figure. Obviously, I understand this already or I wouldn't have watched the video. I'm just saying...
Another lie she's black and Nubia to lol they check her body lol
They never found her body.
🤡
The photo at 3:08 is not Egyptian. Forging Egyptian identity, history, and civilization is a disgraceful crime against humanity and human rights.
All Egypt was black Sir they were Cushites dummy not japeth, Genesis 10 dah
No.
🤡
The fiction starts when you put a white women to play cleopatra 🙄
Why? She was Greek of the Ptolemaic dynasty and a descendant of Ptolemy the first.
Have you seen the silver Denarius coin of her and Mark Antony that she had minted?
@@IrishCinnsealach Greek/persian if you want to be picky
@@tuehojbjerg969 her Persian ancestry is so far only conjecture her Greek ancestry is confirmed her if you want to be picky
Was Cleopatra Black? Some people say she was. czcams.com/video/43-xiuATKXM/video.html
Fiction is putting a white woman to play a white woman???
Image of Cleopatra with white skin and blonde hair, in Egypt? Really?
? The thumbnail image? I'd say that's a worn statue/bust and that fully coloured she'd have been depicted with brown hair rather than blonde. Her being white? I mean what else are you expecting of a Macedonian/Greek who is royalty (therefore not spending full days in the sun)?
She actually had red hair. The earliest depiction of her shows this. Possibly a relation to Rameses and Rameses II who ruled Egypt over a thousand years earlier. We only know they had red hair due to DNA tests on their mummified corpse.
@Janitor Queen well she had her own coin minted and she looks exactly like a typical white European
Was Cleopatra Black? Some people say she was. czcams.com/video/43-xiuATKXM/video.html
@Janitor Queen Why are you so angry that she’s white. She comes from European royalty were is was fashionable to be as pale as possible.
