Plot: Alexander the Great in contemporary London. He appears by the Shard, perfect symbol for his panoramic domination. Smithfield Meat Market becomes the Macedonian Palace where his father is butchered. In this experimental short the mythical weaves with the modern, as Alexander re-enacts sequences from the crucial night that propelled him to immortality. Structured as a Triptych the viewer is invited to travel through both painting and frame, like a tube travels through tunnels to stations. Poetry, haunting sounds and stunning imagery create an hypnotic experience. The final long shot of the rising sun is a breathtaking metaphor for Alexander venturing forth to conquer the East.

Queen Cleopatra ANCIENT EGYPT | HISTORY of EGYPT
Cleopatra VII Philopator (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; 69 – August 12, 30 BC), known to history simply as Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, only shortly survived by her son, Caesarion as pharaoh.
Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a family of Macedonian Greek origin that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great's death during the Hellenistic period. The Ptolemies, throughout their dynasty, spoke Greek and refused to speak Egyptian, which is the reason that Greek as well as Egyptian languages were used on official court documents such as the Rosetta Stone. By contrast, Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian and represented herself as the reincarnation of an Egyptian goddess, Isis.
Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, and ...

10.
It’s unclear that Cleopatra died from an asp’s bite.
While death by snake bite wasn’t unheard of in Cleopatra’s time, it probably wasn’t the most effective method. She could have administered poison through
a needle which could have been mistaken for an asp’s bite.
9. Cleopatra was most likely a
Roman citizen.
Rome would often confer citizenship upon allied kings.
Marcus Antonius could have bestowed citizenship upon Cleopatra if she didn’t have it already. Many of Cleopatra’s ancestors could have had citizenship as well and their citizenship would have passed to her.
8. Cleopatra was not friendly with
Herod,
King of Judea.
The same Herod that sought the baby
Jesus, was in a constant power struggle with Cleopatra.
7. Cleopatra successfully expanded her kingdom.
While
Caesar and Marcus Antonius granted her requests for new land, it was also in Rome’s best interest for Cleopatra to control local areas. Rome actively sought alliances with friendly kings to manage these areas with Rome’s interests in mind.
6. Cleopatra had four children–only one survived to adulthood.
Cleopatra’s first child was a son by Caesar. She also had twins, Alexander Helios and
Cleopatra Selene, as well as another son,
Ptolemy Philadelphos, all by Marcus Antonius. Cleopatra Selene eventually became the
Queen of Mauretania.
5. Cleopatra was in Rome when Caesar was assassinated.
Romans were not particularly enthralled with Caesar’s relationship with Cleopatra and her visit probably provided the final impetus to remove Caesar.
4. Cleopatra murdered two of her siblings.
Cleopatra had Marcus Antonius kill her younger sister, Arsinoë IV when it became apparent that opposition forces were rallying around her. Her brothers,
Ptolemy XIII and
Ptolemy XIV, both ruled with her for a short time; however, Ptolemy XIII died in an ensuing battle while Cleopatra allegedly poisoned Ptolemy XIV after the birth of her son, Caesarion. While these actions seem brutal, this makes Cleopatra no different than any other ruler. For example,
Octavian went on to murder Cleopatra’s son and Marcus Antonius’s son to ensure his own power.
3. Cleopatra was a writer; she wrote a medical treatise called, Cosmetics.
It may have been called Cosmetics, but this was no
Cosmo article. It was a medical and pharmacological work including several remedies for hair loss and dandruff.
2. Cleopatra was a powerful and important woman; she didn’t need to “seduce” Caesar or Marcus Antonius.
There were many reasons why Caesar and Marcus Antonius had a sexual relationship with Cleopatra.
First, political relations between Rome and
Egypt went back generations–it was in both of their interests to maintain close relationships. Moreover, it was common for Caesar and Marcus Antonius to have liaisons with royal women; the only
difference was that Cleopatra was not shy about the paternity of her children. After Caesar’s death, Cleopatra needed to maintain a close relationship with Marcus Antonius because he controlled the eastern
Roman Empire, her geographical neighbor.
Likewise, after Marcus Antonius lost control of this area, he had to rely on Cleopatra’s wealth and power.
1. Cleopatra was actually
Cleopatra VII.
Whenever I think of the name Cleopatra, only one person comes to mind. However, there were six other Cleopatras before her, not including the original Cleopatra–
Alexander the Great’s sister.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS : Cleopatra and Pharaoahs in Ancient Egypt
videos
A look at
Ancient Civilizations of
Cleopatra and Phaoraohs in
Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra herself serves as our virtual tour guide through
Egypt during her reign as
Queen. From the exotic yet cosmopolitan
Alexandria, to the
Sanctuary of
Dendera to the magical isle of
Philae, we explore her empire by land and sea. We follow her as she sets sail for
Italy and end our journey within the city walls of
Rome where an
Egyptian temple is being erected for Cleopatra’s deity protector,
Isis.
Part 2 starts AT 26:00 and looks at
Pharaohs in Ancient Egypt.
Perhaps no one in the history of mankind has wielded more power than a pharaoh in ancient Egypt. More than the
Roman emperors, more than the
King of Kings of
Persepolis or Babylonia, the pharaohs ruled the population with an iron hand and were worshipped in turn as direct descendents of the
Sun God. They were considered immortal, capable of subduing the forces of nature and of laying down a challenge to the centuries. A challenge that was taken up and won by the pharaohs' magnificent tombs and the sacred temples erected in honor of the gods. However, this is not the case with their cities, which disappeared mysteriously off the face of the earth as if swallowed up by the desert sands.
Ancient Civilizations offers a comparative analysis of the field, including both old world and new civilizations, and explores the connections between all civilizations around the earth.
The volume provides a jargon-free introduction to ancient civilizations from the first civilizations, and the great powers in the
Near East, to the first
Aegean civilizations, the
Mediterranean world in the first millennium,
Imperial Rome, northeast
Africa, divine kings in southeast
Asia, and empires in
East Asia, as well as early states in the
Americas and
Andean civilization.For those interested in ancient civilizations.
Today’s civilizations owe an immense debt to the powerful empires and mighty cities of antiquity. Their inventions, techniques and concepts enabled the advancement of humankind and lay the foundation for life in the modern world.

Persepolis or Babylonia, the pharaohs ruled the population with an iron hand and were worshipped in turn as direct descendents of the
Sun God. They were considered immortal, capable of subduing the forces of nature and of laying down a challenge to the centuries. A challenge that was taken up and won by the pharaohs' magnificent tombs and the sacred temples erected in honor of the gods. However, this is not the case with their cities, which disappeared mysteriously off the face of the earth as if swallowed up by the desert sands.
Ancient Civilizations offers a comparative analysis of the field, including both old world and new civilizations, and explores the connections between all civilizations around the earth.
The volume provides a jargon-free introduction to ancient civilizations from the first civilizations, and the great powers in the
Near East, to the first
Aegean civilizations, the
Mediterranean world in the first millennium,
Imperial Rome, northeast
Africa, divine kings in southeast
Asia, and empires in
East Asia, as well as early states in the
Americas and
Andean civilization.For those interested in ancient civilizations.

Queen Cleopatra ANCIENT EGYPT | HISTORY of EGYPT
videos
Cleopatra VII Philopator (
Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ; 69 – August 12, 30 BC), known to history simply as
Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of
Ancient Egypt, only shortly survived by her son,
Caesarion as pharaoh.
Cleopatra was a member of the
Ptolemaic dynasty, a family of
Macedonian Greek origin that ruled
Egypt after
Alexander the Great's death during the
Hellenistic period. The Ptolemies, throughout their dynasty, spoke Greek and refused to speak
Egyptian, which is the reason that Greek as well as
Egyptian languages were used on official court documents such as the
Rosetta Stone. By contrast, Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian and represented herself as the reincarnation of an
Egyptian goddess,
Isis.
Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father,
Ptolemy XII Auletes, and later with her brothers,
Ptolemy XIII and
Ptolemy XIV, whom she married as per Egyptian custom, but eventually she became sole ruler. As pharaoh, she consummated a liaison with
Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne. She later elevated her son with
Caesar, Caesarion, to co-ruler in name.
After
Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, she aligned with
Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir,
Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as
Augustus). With
Antony, she bore the twins
Cleopatra Selene II and
Alexander Helios, and another son,
Ptolemy Philadelphus (her unions with her brothers had produced no children). After losing the
Battle of Actium to
Octavian's forces, Antony committed suicide. Cleopatra followed suit, according to tradition killing herself by means of an asp bite on August 12, 30 BC. She was briefly outlived by Caesarion, who was declared pharaoh by his supporters but soon killed on Octavian's orders. Egypt became the
Roman province of Aegyptus.
