If Cleopatra's nose was shorter, the face of the world would change.
So how beautiful is Cleopatra? Many books, especially official history books, do not accurately describe her appearance. In the later data, there is such a description of Cleopatra's appearance:
Because of Cleopatra's beauty, she is regarded as a slutty queen in history and is good at seducing male queens. Her beauty is invisible, so she can rely on such a sexy stunner not as a gift but as a romantic means. But when we think about it, we still have to be fair to Cleopatra, because our knowledge is basically based on the description of her in Roman history. Because the Romans didn't have a good impression of Cleopatra, after all, Caesar and Anthony, the two supreme commanders of the Romans, fell at her feet, so many people called her "the flower snake on the Nile".
Cleopatra was full of legends from the moment she was born. It is said that when she was born, the whole palace was shrouded in red light. The Egyptian prophet said that Cleopatra would be an important figure in Egyptian history. At that time, Egypt was in the Ptolemy dynasty, and Cleopatra's father was Ptolemy XII. Cleopatra, born with a red face, has high hopes. She received a good court education from an early age and learned many languages. But her father's doting and pampering made him have a strong possessiveness since he was a child. After the death of her parents, according to the customs and habits of Egypt at that time, Cleopatra should marry her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII, and jointly rule Egypt and handle its government affairs. But Cleopatra's brother is weak and indecisive. Compared with Cleopatra, he is a thousand miles away. So a smart, beautiful and capable sister doesn't like her brother at all. Two people with incompatible personalities often clashed and fought fiercely for the highest power in Egypt. But a weak brother is better at attracting people's hearts. Cleopatra finally lost in the power struggle and was driven out of Egypt.
Cleopatra escaped from Egypt, but she was unwilling, especially defeated by a coward. So she began to recruit and prepare to kill back to Egypt. She is always ready to start work. This opportunity finally appeared in 48 BC, when Pompeii, the commander-in-chief of Rome, and Caesar fought for power and profit. Pompeii failed to escape to Egypt, and Caesar pursued all the way to the Egyptian border. Cleopatra wanted to take back the throne of Egypt with Caesar's help. So she bribed Caesar's bodyguard, wrapped her naked body in a blanket, and asked her men to wrap themselves in a blanket to find Caesar. The blanket unfolded and there appeared a peerless beauty, Cleopatra. Caesar let the left and right stand down, and this beautiful woman in the moonlight attracted Caesar at once. Caesar couldn't help but feel that he really deserved his reputation.
So Caesar began to ask why Cleopatra came. Cleopatra, honest and honest, didn't beat around the bush, just told him, "I want to use your strength to help me ascend to the throne of Egypt." The sound of Mediterranean waves is accompanied by Cleopatra's Yue Xian-like voice, plus her beautiful face, graceful figure and charming smile. Love love the water, Caesar, who loves beauty, was immediately attracted by her and fell in love. Finally, with the help of Caesar, Cleopatra defeated her brother's army and ascended the throne of Egypt, becoming the supreme queen of Egypt. Later, Caesar moved back to Rome. Cleopatra did not stay in Egypt, but followed her husband to Rome. After the Arc de Triomphe, the whole of Rome was a sensation, and all the doors were lined with streets, witnessing the elegance of the Queen of Egypt. During her stay in Rome, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, is said to have given birth to a child named "Caesar II" or "Little Caesar". The arrival of little Caesar did not bring them good luck. A few years later, Caesar was assassinated.
Legend has it that after Caesar's death, the Egyptian queen was really worried about her brother's comeback, so she was anxious to find another backer to protect herself. She turned her attention to Anthony, one of the three giants in Roman politics at that time. The queen of Egypt first bribed Anthony's subordinate Canidis, and met Anthony through Canidis. It is said that when Anthony first met the Queen of Egypt, he was attracted by her beautiful appearance and arranged his clothes many times before seeing the Queen of Egypt again. After falling in love, the Queen of Egypt gave Anthony twins, and Anthony was happy to share the land of Rome with him and the son of the Queen of Egypt. The tragedy caused public outrage and accused Anthony of being a traitor. The image of the Queen of Egypt plummeted in the hearts of the Romans. The Romans elected Caesar's adopted son Octavian to lead the crusade against Anthony, who was defeated in the power struggle. Octavian even threatened to parade the Queen of Egypt. Unwilling to be humiliated, the queen of Egypt dressed herself up beautifully before Octavian invaded Egypt, slept in a bed covered with garlands, released a small poisonous snake and committed suicide. It is said that he left his last words, hoping to be buried with Anthony. But these things about Cleopatra and Anthony can only be seen in unofficial history, and there is no basis in the main book.
In some archaeological discoveries, it is speculated that during the reign of the Queen of Egypt, Alexandria was established in Egypt, which was his love nest with Anthony. According to the remains of some streets, it is speculated that Egypt's economy maintained a considerable degree of prosperity during Cleopatra's rule in Egypt. This also reflects that Cleopatra not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a good talent, which makes Egypt so well organized. As we mentioned above, Cleopatra has learned many languages since she was a child. It is speculated that Cleopatra is proficient in Greek, speaks Latin, Hebrew and Egyptian, and she dabbles in chemistry and mathematics, and probably has written relevant scientific books herself.
