“Independent Egypt”? Cleopatra was the last of a royal line that traces its origin to Greek warlords from the 5th century BC. Her bloodline was Greek, not Egyptian.

It may be a fabrication to cover up that Octavian’s soldiers killed the queen.

Why would Octavian have needed any fabrication to justify kill Cleopatra? The Roman Senate had declared war on her.

In most accounts, Octavian wanted Cleopatra alive to exhibit her in his formal triumph ceremony. She chose to escape this humiliation by suicide.

“Last queen of independent Egypt” after being conquered twice by the Persians and then the Greeks. Technically, however, it was independent and had a queen. Independent Egypt today has no queen.

Time Machine--Dante & the Evergreens (1960)
I opened up this here history book
And flipped my lid when I took a look.
There on page 219
Was this here Egpytian queen.
Although she lived in 44 BC,
Cleopatra is the chick for me

I'm going to build a time machine
So I can go back and make the scene.
I'm going to make some time
With my Egyptian queen
In my little old time machine.

Pretty soon, I'll be making the gig
When I set the doodad on my thingamajig.
I'll pull the crank and turn the dial.
Very soon, I'll be on the Nile
Holding hands with my Cleo kid,
Setting in the shade of a pyramid

She got a daddy rich as old King Tut.
I hear her mummy's all wrapped up;
Got a room of diamonds on every shelf.
When I walk in, she'll say, "help yourself."
I'll fill my pockets and after a while,
We'll make some time,
Nineteen-six-oh style.

Look at that girl go!
Like, she sure is copacetic!
Like, wow!
Get that snake away from my girl!
Oh, no! It's too late!
