Interesting facts about Cleopatra
More than two thousand years have passed, but still the image of Cleopatra is the standard of female beauty, which came to us from ancient Egypt.
Her life was rich and bright, she broke a lot of men's hearts.
Her death is still not completely solved until the end, although it is said that she died from a venomous snake bite.
Queen Cleopatra was an intelligent, domineering, strong, charming, insightful, daring, ambitious and fatal woman.
Many people admired her and still admire her.
Perhaps she was not as beautiful as many models and celebrities are now with the help of plastic surgery, but the Egyptian goddess knew how to take care of herself and how to properly present herself to others.
The life of Cleopatra is quite mysterious and it will not be possible to fully reveal it.
But we will tell you interesting facts about the legendary woman Cleopatra.
The full name of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra Thea Philopator VII – she was the seventh ruler of Egypt with a similar name.
She was very educated - she spoke several languages fluently, studied philosophy, read literature and played various instruments.
Cleopatra was one of the daughters of King Ptolemy XII and was the last queen of Ancient Egypt.
She began to rule at the age of 18, when her father died, and until the age of 39, when she herself died.
She was the last pharaoh in Egypt, after her death Egypt became a Roman territory.
She had three sisters: one younger and two older (one of them was named after her mother Cleopatra V).
The tomb of Cleopatra's sister Arsenoi was found in the ancient city of Ephesus.
Scientists, having made an analysis of the remains, suggest that Arsenoi's mother was an African and a concubine of Ptolemy XII.
And perhaps there were African roots in the blood of Cleopatra.
She married her younger brother Ptolemy XIII, he was 12 years old, and she was 18.
Together they ruled for 4 years.
Then her younger husband drowned.
Julius Caesar was won over by the courage of Cleopatra's mind when she ordered the slave Apollodorus to roll her up in a blanket, wrap her with ropes and deliver her to Caesar himself.
She wanted to become the Queen of Egypt again, and she achieved this, because Caesar fell in love with her.
Later they became lovers.
After the death of Caesar, Cleopatra and Mark Antony fell in love with each other and soon married.
When Mark Antony invited her to his house, he wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone.
Cleopatra refused several times and postponed this meeting.
And not because I didnot want or was afraid to go to him, but because at that moment a huge ship was being built from very expensive varieties of trees with beautiful scarlet sails.
And when she finally sailed to Antony at dusk on a magnificent ship strewn with rose petals, to gentle music and descended to him, then at that moment Cleopatra captured Antony's heart.
Cleopatra had a brilliant mind, cunning and dexterity, thereby she always got what she wanted and was able to convince people.
She had four children: Caesarion (Ptolome Caesar the son of Julius Caesar), Cleopatra Selene, Alexander Helios and Ptolemy II Philadelphia the children of Mark Antony.
The ancient physician Galen has preserved an interesting recipe for Cleopatra from baldness.
As a treatment, the queen advised " To grind red sulfur with arsenic and mix it with oak resin.
Put the mixture on a cloth and apply it, having previously thoroughly soaped the bald spot."
Who knows, perhaps this recipe was used by Julius Caesar himself.
Cleopatra owns the invention of waxing – the modern name "epilation".
However, at that time the queen did not use ordinary wax, as many women use nowadays, but a special mixture of resins.
But still, the female half should be grateful to her for this, because the first mentions of removing unwanted body hair came from her.
Cleopatra created her collection of various poisons, testing them on prisoners in the dungeon.
Mark Antony committed suicide as soon as he learned that his beloved Queen Cleopatra had allegedly died.
Upon learning about this, Cleopatra ordered to deliver her lover alive or dead.
The mortally wounded Antony was delivered to her, the queen showered him with kisses and he died in her arms.
After his death, having fallen into complete despair from remorse, Cleopatra decides to commit suicide.
The next day, she arranges a sumptuous feast, dresses herself in royal robes and puts a crown on her head.
When a fruit basket is brought to her, where a snake was sleeping at the bottom, having pricked it with a needle, the queen dies from the bite of a poisonous asp.
There is a claim that Cleopatra did not die from a snake bite, but from another poison - opium with hemlock plants, which does not leave traces on the body, and after all, the queen wanted to perpetuate her beauty and body by dying in this way.
How the Queen of Egypt Cleopatra really lived and died will always be a mystery.
But one thing can be firmly said that she became one of the great legendary women who is remembered and solved to this day.
