Best Answer

She was part Macedonian and part Syrian. Alexander the great had conquered Egypt about 300 years before her time. His General Ptolemy I Soter ruled as pharaoh, thus starting the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in which was the last dynasty before Egypt became a province of Rome. Cleopatra was the last to rule as an Egyptian pharaoh of the dynasty.
