Cleopatra

He died in 44 BC and she died in 30BC so obviously he was dead when she died.

Recently the palace complex of Cleopatra last queen of Egypt was discovered in the bay outside Alexandria Egypt 21 ft under the sea by Franck Goddio

and his team. The area appears to have suffered an earthquake sometime ofter Cleopatra's death which may have caused the whole harbour area to descend below the waves.

Like most Egyptian Pharaoh's Cleopatra used buildings and monuments as propaganda. A favourite way of self promotion was to have inscriptions made on temples. There are existing statues, and coins bearing her image, but the largest dedication to Cleopatra VII is at Dendra temple where her image is same 30ft high. She didn't built the temple it was built by her Ptolemaic predecessors by she remodeled it. Perhaps it was cheaper to redecorate than to rebuild?

Unfortunately Cleopatra's needle in America and London was built by Thutmosis III and not by Cleopatra VII though again her cartouche has been added to it at a later date.

Cleopatra was born in January of 69 BC.

Cleopatra's brother overthrew her in either the end of 49 or the beginning of 48 BC. She was not returned to power until Julius Caesar established her and her brother as co-rulers in 47 BC.

Ceasar built a glided statue in Rome to honor Cleopatra and never dinied fathering her child.

yes a boy and a girl fathered by Mark Antony(from rome), Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II. in 40 B.C.

Today, Cleopatra is famous as a sex queen or seductress. A very unfair assessment of her.

Cleopatra lived and ruled during the Ptolemaic or Hellenistic period of Egypt.

Cleopatra was born on 69 before Christ she died on November 30

Cleopatra was a greedy, ambitious, power hungry person. Her ambition was to rule Rome and gain more territories.

Cleopatra had children with Marc Antony and she claimed that her oldest son was from Julius Caesar. However there is doubt about this claim.

Yes, Marc Antony was a Roman. In fact he was a counsul with Julius Caesar and then a member of the second triumvirate. He was the most powerful Roman in the east.

After Mark Antony committed suicide, so did Cleopatra. After she died, Rome soon took over Egypt, making her the last Pharaoh.

Cleopatra was not famous, she in infamous. In her time she was infamous for her decadent lifestyle. That image of her has drifted down to us in the present day.

Cleopatra failed to preserve her dynasty and to preserve her country's independence.

Cleopatra did not benefit mankind in any way. About the only "benefit" one could say she contributed was all the misconceptions about her. They give people who are interested something to talk about.

Cleopatra was about to become Alexanders slave so she did suicide

(the suicide was being bitten by a Snake)

Cleopatra met Caesar when she was devastated about the death of her father... im pretty sure that's right but i could be wrong
48 bc

yes Rather no. Cleopatra married her brother. In fact she married two of her brothers.

Gaius Julius Caesar was the father of Cleopatra's first child.

To live for a long time

Well she gave to the first man of Alexander Sen Belo. It was in 1598.

No, it is estimated that the sphinx was built nearly two thousand years before Cleopatra was born.

Definitely not. The idea of Cleopatra being beautiful is a myth started by William Shakespeare. If you type "Cleopatra/coins" into your browser, you will get pictures of her. You can judge for yourself.
