Cleopatra's family was Greek. They were the descendants of Ptolemy Sotor
who was the first king of the dynasty. They were one of history's first dysfunctional families and seemed to have a family sport of killing each other off. So when Cleopatra murdered her brother and sister she was just carrying on a family tradition. However they were not all bad. The Ptolemies were the ones who built and patronized the great library of Alexandria with its famous "Museo".
This was not only a place to house books;
it was a scientific laboratory where medicine, astronomy and mathamaticswere studied.

Were Cleopatra and markanthony married?
Yes and no. Cleopatra insisted that Antony marry her to fulfill her fantasy of being the new Isis and he the new Dionysus. Antony did "marry" her according to Egyptian custom because if he didn't, Cleo threatened to withdraw her financial backing for his Parthian war. Antony agreed, knowing full well that the marriage would never be recognized in Rome, because Cleopatra was a foreigner and he also had a Roman wife. By the way, his Roman wife just happened to be the sister of his enemy Octavian, and he didn't divorce her until three years after his "marriage" to Cleopatra.

What did Cleopatra do for a living?
She was the Queen of Egypt.
- She was a QueenCleopatra VII Philopator, known to history simply as Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, only shortly survived by her son, Caesarion as pharaoh.
- Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a family of Macedonian Greek origin that ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great's death during the Hellenistic period. The Ptolemies, throughout their dynasty, spoke Greek and refused to speak Egyptian, which is the reason that Greek as well as Egyptian languages were used on official court documents such as the Rosetta Stone. By contrast, Cleopatra did learn to speak Egyptian and represented herself as the reincarnation of an Egyptian goddess, Isis.
- Cleopatra originally ruled jointly with her father, Ptolemy XII Auletes, and later with her brothers, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, whom she married as per Egyptian custom, but eventually she became sole ruler. As pharaoh, she consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne. She later elevated her son with Caesar, Caesarion, to co-ruler in name.
- After Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as Augustus). With Antony, she bore the twins Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios, and another son, Ptolemy Philadelphus (her unions with her brothers had produced no children). After losing the Battle of Actium to Octavian's forces, Antony committed suicide. Cleopatra followed suit, according to tradition killing herself by means of an asp bite on August 12, 30 BC. She was briefly outlived by Caesarion, who was declared pharaoh by his supporters but soon killed on Octavian's orders. Egypt became the Roman province of Aegyptus.

Many people ask when Cleopatra was born. Well I have the answer for them. Cleopatra was actually born in the winter of 69 B.C. Cleopatra was born in an old temple in Alexandria, Egypt. Cleopatra was born in Alexandria because her father, Ptolemy, was there in a war with Alexander the Great. Her mother traveled to Alexandria so her father could see Cleopatra at birth. Later in 51 B.C Ptolemy Auletes, Pharaoh of Egypt, dies, leaving his kingdom to his 18-year-old daughter, Cleopatra, and her younger brother Ptolemy XIII. Pompey is in charge of Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII. Cleopatra ruled Egypt because when she got older her mother and father said since she is the older sibling she must rule Egypt. Unfortunately, she had to rule Egypt with her 11 year old brother and was forced to marry him. Soon she began to enjoy being queen and decided it wasn't so bad until her own colonist started to dislike her. Cleopatra was actually Cleopatra VII, and was the last pharaoh of Egypt. Another very important event that happened in Cleopatra's life was when she gave birth to her four children. She gave birth to her first child with Julius Caesar named Caesarion also named Ptolemy Caesar. . In 48 B.C. Cleopatra was removed from power by Theodotas and Achillas. Later that year, Caesar restores Cleopatra to the Egyptian throne. Later in 40 B.C Cleopatra gave birth to twins children with Mark Antony. The twin children were named Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene ll. Four years later, Cleopatra gave birth to another baby boy named Ptolemy Philadelphus. Mark Antony had already had four children with his previous wife Octavia so he already knew how to handle caring for the children. She was forced to flee Egypt and then found Mark Antony and lived with him in modern day Turkey. After Cleopatra met Mark Antony she returned to Egypt with him and Antony later divorced his wife, Octavia, to marry Cleopatra. After Mark Antony committed suicide, so did Cleopatra. The story is that she took an asp to her chest and let the poisonous snake bite her.
Cleopatra is famous for many reasons including being the ruler of Egypt. She was the queen of Egypt. Her people liked her at first when she ruled happily not letting wars go too bad. She didn't let people die when she was queen. Cleopatra liked being queen so bad she promised herself she would be queen until the day she died. Then her daughter, Cleopatra Selene ll, would take over. Cleopatra is also famous for being one of the only female Pharaohs. And by being claimed as Egypt's last ruler
she is also one of the very few who married her young brother as most people go for older siblings. Also, Cleopatra and her daughter, Cleopatra Selene II, kept Egypt from becoming nothing more than a Roman province. While Rome had a huge influence on Egypt thanks to there efforts the culture of Egypt did not get lost in that of Rome.
because she is a strong sexy woman who fought for what was right and her life of becoming an QUEEN made her even more famous of all
The Egyptians worshiped their pharaohs, and she tried to portray herself as Isis, who was a queen goddess. Egyptians were monotheistic because they worshipped many gods and goddesses, so that's technically their religion. I don't think there is an actual religion besides monotheism. That's what i think and that's what i found when i researched it...
The term "Mono" means "One". The term you are referring to is Polytheism. "Poly" means multiple. The Egyptians worshipped many different "gods". They had a god of water and so on...
They did worship their Pharoahs also. The Pharoahs would have them pray to the other "gods" like during drought or famine.
There is actually all kinds of religions out there. But everyone puts faith in something wether it be a diety or dieties or money or an object or another human...
