She is no ordinary woman pharaoh AT ALL. She was willing to do anything, and I am talking just about anything, to get her power. She even killed her brothers to become the pharaoh of Egypt! Do you know who this mystery woman is? That's right ladies and gentlemen, its the good-ole Cleopatra. Cleopatra was one of the most famous pharaohs of Egypt for many reasons. She was like the Oprah Winfrey of the women pharaohs.Yep you heard me right. Just like Oprah.
One of the reasons Cleopatra was a famous pharaoh, was because of the way she acted around people. She was always nice, but she was a little edgy around some people. Another reason for why she was a great pharaoh of Egypt was just simply because she made the decisions that were good for her people and not just herself. Many other pharaohs just made decisions because they wanted to protect their families.
Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C. and she died in 30 B.C.. Cleopatra was married to her brother, but she still loved someone named Julius Caesar. After a while, Julius and Cleopatra had a child. Her sons name was Ptolem XIV Caesarion.She came up with the name because it was her husband and Julius's names put together. Since Caesar had been assassinated and Ptolemy XIII had been murdered, Cleopatra then met a man named Marc Antony. Wouldn't Marc be smarter and try to stay away from someone who killed her husband? I figured he was not at all that smart, but he actually was. They got married in 36 B.C.. Marc and Cleopatra were forced to fight in a war together. Marc had heard that Cleopatra had been murdered, so he killed himself. What a loyal husband he was.The real truth was that the person that started war against Cleopatra and Marc, captured Cleopatra and stuck her in a dungeon. You didn't see that one coming now did you? Once she heard of her beloved husbands death, she let a poisonous snake bit her. She was then pronounced dead and her and Marc's kingdom was overruled.
