    Sorry, you are wrong. The Ptolemaic pharaohs were Greeks. Look it up. Between the time that Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and Rome conquered Egypt, it was run By Greeks who didn't even speak Egyptian. The Great Library of Alexandria and the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria were built by the Greek rulers of Egypt. Alexandria itself was a Greek city established in Egypt and named after Alexander. Cleopatra was African only in that she lived on the continent of Africa. Ethnically she was not Egyptian or African at all.

    Cleopatra actually spoke nine languages if history is to be believed. But history also indicated that the language in court was Greek, as were the ruling class.

    dude you really are making this about something I am not making it about. White people are on both sides of this argument.
    but go ahead...... by all means continue.

    Good source, to quote . . .

    We are not certain of the heritage of Cleopatra's mother or her paternal grandmother. That leaves 50% to 75% of her genetic heritage unknown -- and ripe for speculation.

    Is there any evidence that either her mother or paternal grandmother was a black African? No.

    I can speculate that Cleopatra was a Bigfoot. But I have no evidence either.

    Is there any evidence that either of those women were not black Africans? No, by the same reasoning.

    love the cherry picking.
