Cleopatra VII
, she married her brother and killed her sister obsession
Cleopatra VII was the last of the Ptolemaic rulers in Egypt, and she was known for her intelligence, ambition and eloquence, and Cleopatra ascended the throne of Egypt for twenty years from 51 to 30 BC, and according to Egyptian law at the time, Cleopatra married her brother Ptolemy XIII, and after a while For a long time, Cleopatra felt that this marriage obstructed her political plans, and after three years of rule she was accused of trying to seize the throne, so she was forced to flee to the eastern desert and there she gathered a strong army of Arabs, and inside her hope to seize power and launch the attack on the city of Alexandria, but Julius Caesar, who entered Alexandria at the time had tried to vase the dispute between Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy.
Cleopatra infiltrated behind the lines of Ptolemy's army and hid inside a large rug carried by one of her followers as a gift to Caesar, and as soon as the man entered the palace, she appeared from the rug, and thus her relationship with Caesar arose, which agreed with all her plans and aspirations to seize the throne, where Caesar decided that Cleopatra would join her brother Ptolemy in Ruling Egypt, Ptolemy objected to the rule and fought against Caesar but was drowned in the end.
Cleopatra made an agreement with Caesar under which she announced her marriage to him in Egypt, provided that he would announce the news of his marriage in Rome, when he became emperor there and Cleopatra gave birth to a child from him, and she became his legal wife in the eyes of the Egyptians, especially since the walls of the Temple of Armant recorded that Caesar tied her in the form of Amun Ra Then, Cleopatra moved with her husband to Rome, awaiting the day when he will be proclaimed an emperor and officially announce their marriage, to become her partner to the throne of the Roman Empire.
But the Republicans were in ambush for them, as they objected to Caesar's ambitions and eliminated him in 44 BC. M, then Cleopatra was forced to return to Egypt, then she defeated Caesar's aides led by Mark Antony and Octavian (also called Augustus), and then Antony called Cleopatra to convince her to stand with Caesar's aides, so Cleopatra fell in love with him, so she returned to Alexandria with confidence that he would follow her, and this is what It really happened, and Cleopatra succeeded in shifting Antonio's interest to Alexandria instead of Rome, but soon Antonio returned again to Rome as a result of the dramatic events that took place there, and he married Octavia, Augustus’s sister. And stayed away from Cleopatra; Until he went out to oversee his campaign in the Levant.
On the day Antonio Cleopatra was summoned and announced his marriage, he recognized his paternity to the twins she gave birth to, and he returned victorious from his campaign and held great celebrations in the city of Alexandria, but the Romans were concerned when Antony wanted to make Alexandria the capital of the Roman Empire, especially after Cleopatra was declared Queen of Queens and the states were distributed Eastern Roman Empire between her and her two children by Antonio.
Cleopatra saw her dreams and plans come true again and saw herself as an empress for the second time, but what remains is only for Antonio to overthrow Augustus, but Antonio was defeated in 31 BC and the two fled together to Alexandria, and before Augustus entered Alexandria, Antony killed himself, and Cleopatra was forced to She hid in her cemetery in the royal quarter, where that was her famous palace at that time, and she kept all her precious treasures in this cemetery, and threatened to set fire to the cemetery in order to kill herself and destroy all the treasures, except that Augustus deceived her and seized her and her treasures to take them with him as a captive, but Cleopatra She preferred to commit su***de.
After this story, you may think that it is a bitch, an opportunist, or a bad one, but we try to explain it from another historical perspective. Let's go.
Cleopatra is all we know about her that she is a seductive Egyptian queen and a seductress who fascinated the men of her time, the first of whom was Julius Caesar and Mark Antonio, the greatest men of the country of Rome. But history wronged her very with this description!
After history covered many stories about her greed, greed and use of temptation. They said that it tempted Mark Antonio to turn against the Romans and hand it over to the lands of Rome, Syria and Asia Minor. All those who said all this were the Roman historians only, not the Roman historians
And why did they say that?
Because Cleopatra is a powerful queen, and what's wrong with that?
Their view of Cleopatra goes back to the culture of the Romans and their view of the woman and her position with them, for the Roman woman was considered as a commodity to be bought and sold and presented as a gift, and her husband would marry her if he wanted ten wives, and she did not possess property or money and did not assume positions that the Romanian woman was expected by society to be weak and not Its opinion is powerless. As for Cleopatra, she is a strong queen first and has a lot and a lot of money and lands and she controls her country completely. Egypt reached in the reign of Cleopatra to the utmost levels of luxury and wealth and this made the Romans hate Cleopatra and also she was Caesar's foreign oriental lover coming from the mysterious countries of the East and she became the wife of Antonio as well - As some historians believe - Antonio put her image in Roman coins, and this is what made Rome revolt and believes that Antonio had handed Rome over to the Egyptian queen. The Romans hated her, defamed her in history, and spread lies about her. They portrayed her life as sexy and romantic and portrayed her as the charming and alluring queen who used seduction and sexuality to get what she got.
Historian Dio described her as a "sexy queen" and also "a woman with an unending lust and insatiable hunger". As for Bocaccio, he described her as “the Fall of Kings,” but Dryden said it was “an example of illegitimate love.”
It was easy to attribute the successes of a woman more to her beauty than to her mind, and all this in order to limit her to the limits of her intimate life. Menander’s aphorism in the fourth century “A man who teaches a woman to read must know that he provides poison to a snake” was common among students Schools hundreds of years after their death.
Cleopatra was a capable queen, prudent and opportunistic to the limit, and a first class strategic planner. Cleopatra began her political career at the age of eighteen and entered it with all strength and challenge. She was a loving daughter to her father and a patriot woman. Cleopatra was a symbol of boldness, and a wise ruler.
In one of the passages of his poem, an unidentified poet asks, “Which woman, and what successive lineage of ancient men, were they of such greatness?”. And that poem gave Cleopatra her right. A Coptic bishop of the seventh century described her as "the most famous and wisest woman."
The Egyptian people loved Cleopatra for her power, and the Roman people hated her power and history wronged her because she is a great and stronger woman than the men of her time.
Cleopatra ... assassinating a queen and disfiguring her through the ages
-------------------------------------------------
Cleopatra the seventh, the Egyptian queen who is slandered against her, this queen has had her share of distortion and insults throughout history and she was wronged a lot. We will try in this post to change that bad image of this queen
The origin and influence of Cleopatra
----------------------
Cleopatra VII is an Egyptian queen of Macedonian origin and she is a descendant of Ptolemy II, one of the leaders of Alexander the Great, Alexander the Great had entered Egypt at the request of some Egyptian priests, and he saved Egypt from the Persian occupation, which was proceeding to destroy the Egyptian temples and was aiming to destroy the Egyptian religious belief in great depth. Humiliated the Egyptians. After expelling the Persians, Alexander went on a famous visit to the oasis of Siwa, where he was looking for his priests, Amun. They perished in the desert and almost died of thirst with his forces, except that I was a hawk that appeared suddenly in the sky and guided them to the place of the temple in the desert, and when the priests visited and told them about the story of the falcon, he said that the falcon represents the god Amun, and he is the one who guided and protected them, and here Alexander declared himself the son of Lamon and king of Egypt On his famous visit to the Siwa Oasis and established a temple there Lamon next to the temple of King Thutmose III and upon his death he was mummified and buried according to the Egyptian traditions and asked to be buried in his temple that he built in Siwa, Cleopatra was born 300 years after the existence of the hero family Miya in Egypt, Cleopatra was greatly influenced by Alexander the Great and the Egyptian culture and creed, and she considered herself an Egyptian, not a Macedonian, and she was very loving and attached to Isis, and she saw in the strong mother Isis, who was distinguished by her charming appearance, which bewitched everyone. And her sculptures were in the Egyptian way of sculpting, so that she took an Egyptian religious name for herself, and there is a religious statue carved in the Egyptian way displayed in a museum set up by the Roskroshan Organization in the United States of America. (Hieroglyphs), which were necessary in the performance of rituals and prayers on the Egyptian faith, so that she did not travel to Macedonia not once in her life.
Cleopatra is very attached to Egyptian ceremonies and holidays
-------------------------------------------------
He was famous for Cleopatra, according to what was reported by the Roman historian Plutarch, that she was fond and very attached to the Egyptian ceremonies and feasts, and that she was formally installed his king over Egypt after she got rid of her younger brother Ptolemy IX, with whom she was sharing in power with the help of Julius Caesar and held her lavish coronation ceremony in a ceremony. A monarchy over Egyptian traditions, and she wore the Osir body worn by all the kings of Egypt, in the presence of all the princes and kings of the region, including Julius Caesar.
The first married to Julius Caesar out of the motive of protecting Egypt
--------------------------------------------------
Julius Caesar offered Cleopatra to marry her, as the marriage at that time constituted a political marriage only in order to protect Egypt from the threats of the Persians and the Berbers and to provide wheat for Rome.Cleopatra was seeking safety from Rome and wanted from the rising Roman Republic at the time to protect Egypt from the Persian threat, Egypt was outside it From a grinding civil war that caused the destruction of half of the army and its division as a result of the civil war between Cleopatra and Ptolemy IX, as for Julius Caesar Ferry in Egypt a storehouse of wheat, marble and the money required for the rehabilitation of Rome, and because Rome also had emerged from a civil war but possessed a strong army, Julius Caesar returned to Rome and was able to conclude an agreement in the Roman Senate to include Egypt as a main ally and provide it with protection from any foreign aggression. The marriage raised a great controversy in Rome.
Her second marriage to Mark Antonio
------------------------------
Julius Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate after a conspiracy orchestrated by a member of the Senate, because the latter had declared himself a dictator, so he failed to have all the powers, and he thus overpowered the powers of the Senate. And Rome was ruled after him by the so-called Triumph Triumvirate, which is an alliance made up of Marc Antonio, the veteran military and the right hand of Julius Caesar, the ambitious young politician and the legitimate heir of Julius Caesar, the nephew of Octavius and an ally of the military leader Flavius, and this alliance was established after a peace agreement signed by Marc Antonio with Octavius, the legal heir of Julius Caesar, as he wanted to share power with him after a short civil war that took place between the two parties and neither of them was resolved, and they decided to share power together.
With the death of her husband, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra lost her main ally in Rome, and Rome viewed Cleopatra as the reason for the murder of Julius Caesar. Rumors spread in Rome that Cleopatra was the one who suggested to Julius Caesar that he set himself up as a dictator on Rome so that she would become the queen of Rome and her son Caesarion the legal heir The dictator’s successor and there were voices in Rome led by Octavius against Egypt and Cleopatra, and the latter launched racist campaigns against Cleopatra, accusing you of having seduced his uncle and made him act madly. Actavius was adept at heart facts and propaganda, and ultimately led the Senate to cancel the protection agreement on Egypt
Famine strikes Rome
--------------------
The Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, decided to stop the donations and wheat aid to Rome, so Rome struck anarchy due to the shortage of wheat and the Roman soldiers colluded in the military campaigns in northern Europe and left their camps due to the lack of wheat and food for them, which made the Roman Senate delegate the most prominent leaders of the Tremovs, Mark Antonio, to travel to Egypt and meet Cleopatra and the request Including funding Rome with wheat needed to resolve the riots and riots of Roman soldiers.
Mark Antonio travels to Egypt on a trip to save Rome
-------------------------------------------------- -
Mark traveled to Egypt to meet Cleopatra, Rome needed a terrible aid from wheat to dispense needs that affected the capital itself and was not able to do so. Rome officially requested Egypt for assistance with wheat to settle the disturbances there, but Cleopatra refused the request and said that Egypt would not send wheat to Rome except Under new conditions, and Cleopatra stipulated that Egypt obtain two islands from Rome, one on the coast of Syria near Tartus and the other on the Greek coasts, Mark Antonio reluctantly agreed and the Roman Senate objected to that agreement, and because of that agreement, Rome felt shame and humiliation and the Senate openly attacked Egypt and its queen and led Octavius was a fierce advertising campaign against this agreement and was the first crack in the Tremblay relationship
Roman danger is coming
---------------------
Cleopatra quickly realized the Roman anger over that agreement and was aware that after the death of Julius Caesar, Rome was looking with a colonial eye to Egypt, and indeed there were campaigns in the Senate led by the Tremblant generals to convince the Roman people and members of the council of the danger of his king, like Cleopatra, to rule Egypt. Cleopatra is another way, unless she finds another strong ally on which she can rely defending Egypt, and she has seen nothing but Mark Antonio, the strongest and most experienced leader of the Tremovs.
Luring Mark Antonio
-----------------------
So Cleopatra Marc Antony came when she went in her luxurious royal vehicle to the Syrian coasts to receive the two particles according to the agreement signed between them, accompanied with her orchestras, dance and parade groups, and she invited him to dinner on board her luxury chariot and there they sat and spent the day together on board her luxury chariot and Plutarch mentioned that after that evening Anthony signed In love with Cleopatra
The Roman Senate declares Egypt an enemy state
--------------------------------------------
Octavius took advantage of the relationship between Cleopatra and his sister-in-law Mark Antonio and started a media war against Cleopatra, his archenemy and Egypt, and Octavius managed to steal a document said to be written in Mark Antony's handwriting that officially recognizes that Caesaron, son of Queen Cleopatra and the son of Julius Caesar, is the heir to the Roman throne and that Egypt and Rome will become One country, and Alexandria will be the capital of the two countries, we will govern it by Marc Antonio, the new dictator of Rome. This document was presented by Octavius in the Senate and angered all the senators. Its relationship with one of the leaders of the termevus and his sister-in-law Mark Antonius, and he was joined in the claims of the third commander in the Tremblance Flavius, and Rome was divided between two leaders Mark Antonius and between Octavius and Flavius, indeed the Roman Senate classified Egypt as his enemy state and Octavius achieved his first goal of the Senate, but for the completion of the attack on Egypt had to get rid of Mark Antonio, whom she had bound with Cleopatra by a protection pact and authorized the Senate to Octave Yus led the army of the Roman Republic to meet Mark Antonius in Actium Bay, destroy his fleet, and arrest him on charges of high treason of the Republic.
Actium naval warfare
-------------------
The year 30 BC. The war broke out in the Gulf of Actium in Greece, and the two parties were preparing for that battle three years earlier. All indications were that the veteran commander Mark Antony would achieve a great victory over Octavian’s rival, and after that the Roman Senate would be dissolved and assume power alone. Cleopatra paid huge sums of money in order to ensure victory Mark distributed a lot of wheat and gifts to the soldiers joined under Mark's command, so that she spent a lot of money to build huge, powerful ships, but Mark Antony managed the war in a completely wrong way and made himself into strategic mistakes that led to besieging the huge ships before the war started in the first place. The first strategic mistake is that it was built His ships of the huge Egyptian style, which the Romans were not accustomed to, became heavy, bulky and slow-moving ships with skyscrapers weighing 2 tons, while Octavius's ships were much smaller, lighter and faster. Mark transported his huge ships inside the narrow waters of the Gulf Actium, which provided an excellent field of vision for the Roman ships that were stationed In the open ocean, and thus he was given a gift to Romanian ships to besiege his ships with ease, he did not follow the advice of the Egyptian military advisor not to use the burning catapult in the The open waters against the small Roman ships were fast moving and maneuvering, and all the catapult shells were located behind the Roman ships in the open sea, while the Roman catapults easily hit the huge Mark's ships and turned them into a block of fire.
The advice of the Egyptian military advisor that Cleopatra assigned to him was to help the Romans lead the huge ships built in the Egyptian docks to use the skyscrapers of the gigantic ships that could easily split and sink the Roman ships and to increase the speed of the ships and to move away from each other far enough to avoid the fall of the catapult, but Mark preferred The use of the burning catapult and returned and took his advice from the Egyptian cleric when he found that he was besieged and that Cleopatra realized that he was defeated and returned with her ship to Egypt.
Octavius arrives in Egypt and Mark commits su***de
-------------------------------------------
The Roman soldiers joined under Mark's command felt betrayed by their leader, as the latter fled behind his beloved Queen Cleopatra, leaving his soldiers without leadership on the battlefield, and they surrendered and did not follow their leader to Egypt, as he ordered them to prepare for his encounter with Octavius on the Egyptian mainland. Mark Antony arrived and his soldiers did not arrive when he resided. His camp near Alexandria was waiting for his soldiers who surrendered and did not join him. The latter realized that he had been defeated and that Octavius had reached the Egyptian mainland with his forces and that he was threatened with arrest, so he fled to Cleopatra's palace to seek her help. Cleopatra knew the outcome of the war early and had sent her son Caesaron with the protection of some of her guards And in a message to the kings of Nubia, the content of that message is still vague, but it is believed that it is information and news of Ghazi’s arrival in the north of the country.
- Cleopatra waited for the arrival of the new occupier in her palace in Alexandria with all his courage and did not flee or surrender, but put on her formal clothes completely. When Octavius entered the palace, he asked her to surrender Mark Antonio and told her that he would return with his forces to Rome and that this is not an occupation, but he must only hand over Marc Antonio to his trial On charges of high treason, Cleopatra refused Octavius' request and said that Egypt does not surrender her guests to anyone without his will, so Octavius arrested her and imprisoned her in a room in her palace, and when Mark learned this, he committed su***de, and his Egyptian queen became a prisoner of Octavius imprisoned in her palace.
Cleopatra was killed in cold blood
-----------------------
The famous American crime investigator and forensic evidence expert Pat Brown visited Egypt in 2009 to conduct an investigation into the murder of Cleopatra, and in a documentary film that proved with conclusive evidence the existence of evidence of the crime in the crime scene after she used modern computer technologies and a complete reconstruction of the crime scene in Cleopatra's palace, the Roman novel was proven false about The Queen and her seven female presidents committed su***de by being stung by a cobra snake. This is a false propaganda to cover the horrific crime that the Roman soldiers committed to killing them, a beloved and very popular Egyptian queen in Egypt, and she was supported in that opinion by all the teachers of history.
