If cleopatra was a black African with a afro then I'm a fúkn fairy with pink boots on.Utter nonsense.

I fail to comprehend how the mere color of one's skin could bother people to such an extent. The miniseries is truly captivating. I was unaware of certain aspects of Cleopatra's life, but I have undoubtedly gained a greater admiration for this incredibly strong, determined, and charismatic leader.

When you have a grandma saying: > I don’t care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was Black. with such pride, they were thinking this would get a standing ovation or an award. This ain't some MLK speech ender. :clown:

And another fine piece of history distortion.

It is labeled as a documentary, which should be all about reporting factual events and characters, not a grandma's dream. Cleopatra was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC. She was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. A Roman sculpture of Cleopatra from around the time of her visits to Rome in 46–44 BC, discovered in an Italian villa along the Via Appia and now located in the Altes Museum in Germany. So we know what Cleopatra looked like, a greek woman and not by any means a black woman. So why invest so much money into a documentary that isn't historically correct? Is it intentional? Would a documentary about Napoleon Ponaparte played by a black actor be alright? If it was a fictional story, then don't use actual historical names or places. Some people like the grandma might think that it's actual history, which it isn't.
