No..."sultry" as exuding sexuality/passion.

The gossips of the day went into overdrive, vis-a-vis Julius' private life, and yet, though they wrote a whole LOT about Julius's sexual proclivities, there isn't that kind of "talk" about Cleopatra...and yes, I have read the equivalent of today's N.Y. Post's "PAGE SIX" in Latin.

What was talked about, is what a great conversationalist she was and how captivating, whilst in discourse with men, talking to them on their own level. Most women, of that time, weren't educated that well.

Livia, August Caesar's wife was another well educated woman, of that time period.

Right? So arbitrary.

And now there is a box marked “white, non Hispanic”. What do people from Spain even put?!?

Race is a damn joke.

"BROWN"?

Have you ever seen the famous bust of Nefertiti? She was NOT "brown" nor Negroid and neither was she anything but "PURE" Egyptian and predates Cleopatra and the other Ptolemaic Pharaohs!

Who is to say she wasn’t white?

Her royal family and she were greeks (descended from a greek general of Alexander the Great), she wasn’t north African or semitic or Arabic etc.

What would be an outrage and a revision of history would be if a black or dark skinned person were to play her.

Only a racist black supremacist would push for that.

“The Gaper”. Those who have read her REAL history will know what I am talking about. It was only hinted at in one scene in CLEOPATRA.

Cleopatra was black? I remember friends in the 1960s who claimed Cleo was black. Even then, I knew she was not.

***What about Hannibal? He was WHITE***

Back in the early 1960s I remember seeing a “Strange As It Seems” (or was it Ripley’s Believe it or not) that said Hannibal was black.

“Film the story of literally any other queen on the vast African continent.”

Well, there was one I read about years ago. She was so powerful she forbade any of her subjects from appearing in her dreams under pain of death.

I believe archaeologists have the bones of the sister of Cleopatra who was murdered and buried in Ephesus.

A DNA test could clear it up.

RHONDA FLEMING made a nice Cleopatra in SERPENT OF THE NILE.

I doubt that it was RBION; I not only watched those shows, but read the back page of comic books that had Ripley's stuff on it, as well as the Ripley's stuff in newspapers.

Hannibal was a Phoenician and those people were Caucasoids!

Having had to suffer through Cicero, in third year Latin and his speeches ALL IN THE DAMNED SUBJUNCTIVE CASE, I tell tell you, that had Hannibal been black/Negroid, old Cicero would have mentioned it, but he did not!

And then there is good old 4th year Latin, with Vigil and Ovid. Vigil's "AENEID",which I can still recite the first several stanzas of, in the original Latin, was all about Aeneas, after the fall of Troy, and his love affair with Queen Dido and the Punic wars. Nowhere, NOWHERE, in Latin, nor any English translation, is Dido a member of the Negroid race, though she was Queen of Carthage!

All of this INSANE "OUT OF AFRICA" crap was started RACIST, ANTI-WHITEY, NYU college prof, who was even more stupid and bigoted than screwy Louis Farrakhan! And I see that now, after it all was debunked and laughed at,many decades hence, some cretinous racists are trying to breathe new life into this unalloyed horses**t; sadly.

Twas said that it wasn’t her physical beauty that was so devastating - it was her sheer power of personality that no man could withstand. Think about that. The opposite of Hillary loose in our modern day would be something to see!
