Description

Cleopatra VII Philopator was Queen of of Egypt. She was famously wealthy and her legend paints her as a seductress. She was most famously portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor in one of the most expensive films in history in 1963. 

The real story is that she was wildly intelligent, a brilliant strategist, spoke 9 or more languages, was revered by her people as a reincarnation of Isis… she was captivating and charming. And she was a threat to a world of Kings and Conquerers…so they did what the patriarchy has always done…they slut shamed her.
