Best Answer

Tyra is probably not the best place to receive information on historical figures...

But, it is widely believed and accepted that Cleopatra was of Greek descent. That she was Macedonian Greek is usually considered common knowledge, though some still hold to the belief that some part of her was Black African.

Did Cleopatra and Isis like each other?

You're confusing women here. Isis was an Egyptian goddess and Cleopatra was a mortal woman. They could not have formed a friendship in the way we think of it.

Are there any statues of Cleopatra?

yes. However you won't get an idea of how she looked from them because the statues that remain of her are all stylized in the Egyptian fashion.

There are a few heads thought to be of Cleopatra, but they are either badly damaged or disputed.
