[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [QB] Comments from Mr. Imhotep's video This exchange is very very good... [QUOTE]Zack Galante 15 hours ago (edited) I love your videos … but im surprised u left out Strabo a Greek historian and the only person to see cleopatra & her family and he quoted "Three classes inhabited the city (Alexandria in Egypt): first the Aegyptian or native stock of people, who were quick-tempered and not inclined to civil life; and secondly the mercenary class, who were severe and numerous and intractable..; and, third, the tribe of the Alexandrians, who also were not distinctly inclined to civil life, and for the same reasons, but still they were better than those others, for even though they were a mixed people, still they were Greeks by origin and mindful of the customs common to the Greeks." Starbo also stated that cleopatra was the only illegitimate child of Ptolemy XII Auletes.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]SignalHillTV 14 hours ago You are close Zach lol Strabo is reporting in the third person. He is saying the Egyptians are stating why she is ineligible to be queen and why Bernice Iv could rule. So he states he had three daughters with only Bernice Iv being legitimate and the rest of the kids, Cleopatra Vii, and Arisinoe Vi, are illegitimate, and the sons were too young to rule. They expelled Ptolemy Xii Auletes. So most scholars believe their mother/mothers were Egyptian because they could write in hieroglyphics. Then remember Alexander the Great married Roxanna. Not sure what happens to Cleopatra V she is not mentioned again after Bernice Vi's birth which was recorded. "Strabo Geography Book 1" Then Zack you can also see how they are represented in Hieroglyphics they both clearly have skin tone) Perfume Payparus. Getty Images[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] SignalHillTV 14 hours ago Now Zach before I go cut and paste and it will take you to the scholarly article. "From the reconstruction, Thur and her colleagues concluded that Arsinoe had an African mother (the Ptolemies were an ethnically Greek dynasty). That conclusion led to splashy headlines suggesting that Cleopatra, too, was African" everything in parentheses, now her, and Cleopatra could have had a different mother. But when you get a chance in your free time notice how they were excited when they found her remains in Esphues, and how they try to challenge and dismiss them when they said her mother was African. So think about that when you see how Cleopatra is depicted in Hieroglyphics standing next to Arisinoe because they are the same complexion.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Zack Galante 14 hours ago @SignalHillTV Duane W. Roller in his book Cleopatra: A Biography, published by Oxford University Press in 2010. Roller argues that Cleopatra’s mother may have been a 2nd wife of Ptolemaios XII & that she may have been a member of the Ptolemaic royal family named Berenike & her husband Psenptais, who was an Egyptian high priest. Concluding cleopatra having a black Egyptian mother.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] 13 hours ago @Zack Galante Yeah Zach if I had the present a case in Crimal court I would say her mother is unknown. However in Civil court more than likely I would agree with Duane Roller that her mother was Egyptian from a Memphis priestess family. Then I would argue that she and Arisnoe VI have the same African mother. It's a reason why Bernice VI could not read or write the Egyptian language but they both could. Now Elizabeth Taylor they actually copied her look from hieroglyphics braids etc So whenever you get a chance to check out the getting images the person she is always holding hands with is Arisnoe IV. They found Arsinoe IV remains but they have not found Cleopatra Vii's (yet) maybe they never will./QUOTE] [QUOTE]SignalHillTV 13 hours ago @Zack Galante Yeah Zack he mentions Cleopatra she is one of the three daughters. He is talking about Bernice IV it appears you are saying Bernike. The other two daughters are Arisnoe IV and Cleopatra. If I picked someone to play Cleopatra I would go with Zendaya. So if you watch the channel in Egypt the Royal Wife Cleopatra's V offspring would be eligible to rule. Children by a lesser wife could not unless they were male, so that is why is stated they were too young. So Zach people may try to stump you and state what the Greek word for illegitimate is or state what Strabo meant. But he is just reporting, the Egyptians expelled him. Once Bernice VI is executed now they are eligible to be co-regent with one of the sons[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
