[QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [QB] Top Egyptologist and Minister of Antiquities Criticizes Netflix’s “Cleopatra” “The film that is coming on Netflix is not accurate and gives wrong information on ancient Egypt,” the famous Egyptologist continued. “Cleopatra was Greek and she was similar to the queens and princesses of Macedonia,” wrote Zahi, alluding to the fact that Cleopatra was a member of the Ptolemaic Dynasty who ruled over Egypt between 305 BC and 30 BC. The Ptolemaic Dynasty was founded by Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek who served Alexander the Great as a general, bodyguard, and historian. When Alexander died and his empire was split between his squabbling generals, Ptolemy established his own kingdom in Egypt. Misrepresentation of Egyptian history The Netflix series appears to have angered many Egyptians, as well as Greeks and people with a general interest in history who expressed their disappointment online.
