Funny thing, that.

Ranks right up there with the pics I saw in Sunday school decades ago that showed a blonde, blue-eyed Jesus with vaguely Scandinavian features... ;-)

Personally I think until proven otherwise, Cleopatra looked just like the young Liz Taylor.

Probably because she, like all her line, were Greeks [Macedonians], descendants of Alexander’s general Ptolemy - who took Egypt as his cut when Alexander died.

“Amazing how European Cleopatra looked...”
Actually, she was European. The last of a line of Greek/Macedonian Rulers dating back to Alexander.

She must have had other talents if she looked anything like the images on her coins.

By now you know that she was European...Greek to be exact from a long line of Greeks rulers in Egypt established by Alexander, the Ptolemaic line.

More images of her here:
