Cleopatra changed Egypt from an independent client kingdom to a Roman province. In other words, she caused the loss of Egypt's independence and freedom.

Cleopatra's lover, Mark Antony had stabbed himself because he had heard Cleopatra was dead. His army had also been defeated by Octavian, the enemy so he decided he had nothing to live for. Cleopatra found out that Antony had killed himself ...

No, the Old Kingdom period in Egyptian history was way, way before Cleopatra's time. Cleopatra ruled in the Hellinistic or Ptolemaic period of Egyptian history.

No, she was a very self-centered, greedy and manipulative person. She was only nice to the people she thought could help her in some way. She murdered her brother and sister, murdered anyone who she thought would be her enemy, threatened a Roman citizen with torture and lied to her people after Actium. Even considering that she lived in different times than ours, she cannot be considered "nice".

Marc Antony was either 53 or 56 when he died. Most historians think he was 53, but Plutarch says he could have been 56.

Yes, Cleopatra was married to both of her brothers.

She didn't have anything built as far as most archaeologist and egyptologist know. But the Cleopatras needle was built in honor of her after her death.

yes Marc Anthony

She's was pose' to be pretty tall. But back then 5'2 was tall. So probably around 5'. Just a shot in the dark. You were like a titan if you were 6ft back in 50 B.C.

It was not all Cleopatra's fault to bring down her Ptolemaic dynasty. Throughout the genealogy of Ptolemaic history, Alexander the Great who died left his successors to fight for the game of thrones leaving Alexander's family dead in position. Ptolemy one of Alexander's companion sneakingly took the kingdom in Egypt and part of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Ptolemy started to take the power and authority to increase the economy in Alexandrian and oppose against all the sucessors in other parts of the Alexandrian kingdom for stable throne. Ptolemy later descendants began to decay with incest relationship and siblings rivalry. Up to Ptolemy VIII, Ptolemy VIII began to tear the kingdom apart by having incest relationship with his sister and his niece and killing off some of his sister's descendants while losing their claimed territories. Then, with Ptolemy the XII, Ptolemy faced enemies in Alexandrian but was entreated well with the Egyptians since he wanted to form embassy with Rome who held the most powerful position. Nevertheless, the Alexandrians roared against Roman Domination. As Cleopatra was trained by her father in politics, she tried to ally with Rome and was initially unpopular in Alexandria. The Ptolemaic Dynasty decayed from the Ptolemaic geneology leading Cleopatra to struggle power against the economic downfall, famine that makes Egyptians and Alexandrians blame on the government and relationship with Rome.

Cleopatra in fact tried her best to actually fixed the economy and ally with the Romans later with Marc Antony who wished to fuse the culture of Rome with Egypt. Cleopatra had political power like any female rulers today to maintain harsh situation similar to male rulers.

Caesarion, son of Cleopatra VII and Julius Ceasar was technically the last pharaoh of Egypt. He ruled for all of 11 days until he was killed by Octavian's forces. After that Rome annexed Egypt and it became Aegyptus, province of Rome.

They believed in gods and goddesses. They practically believed in anything the priests built.

Cleopatra was the last queen of the Ptolomy dynasty in Egypt. She waged war against Rome and was defeated, losing her country, dynasty and life.
