Cleopatra was an Egyptian queen but was Cleopatra Egyptian?
Cleopatra's family was actually Greek and she was the first of her family to speak Egyptian even though they had ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years. She was a descendant of one of Alexander the Great's Brothers who became the first non-Egyptian Pharaoh after Alexandr's Empire was divided up after his untimely death.
Technically, she was of Macedonian Greek origin, so she was not Egyptian 'by blood'. However, in attempt to legitimize their rule, the Ptolemaic Dynasty, of which Cleopatra was the last, took up Egyptian religion, customs, and culture. So by the time Cleopatra came around, they were very much culturally Egyptian.

Cleopatra's Needles are a name given to two ancient Egyptian obelisks of Aswan granite. They were originally displayed in front of the temple at Heliopolis. They were taken to Alexandria by the early Ptolemaic rulers. Cleopatra either had them moved to stand before the temple she built to Julius Caesar, or she built the temple behind them. At any rate, they remained in Egypt until 1877 when one was taken to England and the other was taken to New York.
