[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] In his article Zahi Hawass says this about some depictions of Cleopatra [QUOTE] As one talking head in the film says, “I remember my grandmother saying to me, ‘I don’t care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black’.” But, as all the evidence shows, she wasn’t. One need only look at all the known statues of Cleopatra VII, such as the head of the queen that I and fellow archaeologist Kathleen Martinez found inside the Temple of Taposiris Magna, west of Alexandria, during our search for Cleopatra’s tomb. None of these statues, including the one we found, which was made of alabaster, gives any indication that Cleopatra was black. During our excavation inside the temple, we also found a large number of coins bearing the face and name of Cleopatra. Again, not one of the depictions supports the decision of the producers of the series to portray their queen as black.
