lit.

The problem with this show is that this is not fantasy they claim it is a documentary, and they manage to spin historical facts with classic revisionism. This will make some kids and future generations that watch this series think that scientists got it wrong and some americans know better the history of another country. This show is an insult to history and will create generations of young adults and kids that have a distorted view of history and reality. Americans should stop making documentaries about other country history, and they should check their own history, this is an insult to Egypt, and insult to Europe, and insult to Greece, and insult to historians, an insult to scientists and all to please a certain group in US.





the film is very nice

queen Cleopatra

First, this should not be in any documentary category. If there was a "Completely utterly fake account of History" category then this would belong in that one. I don't even know what to say other then I think the creators might be on something. Costumes: Inaccurate Timeline: Inaccurate Civics of the time: Inaccurate Dialogue: Childish Portrayal of Cleopatra: Inaccurate Battles: Laughable Casting: Laughable Acting: Horrible All this just makes it impossible to watch. Everyone involved in this project should be ashamed. If they wanted to do it this way they should have just made an action movie like they did with Alexander. That was horrible as well, but Queen Cleopatra has managed to make a statement of "Hold my beer" and literally make one of the worst documentaries/movies ever.

Let's face the truth, there is no way to tell for a 100% certainty whether the theories in this series are all true or not. No one has all the answers, because enough valid evidence of what happened during Cleopatra's lifetime and her background doesn't seem to exist. Some things, such as her relationships with Romans, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, are not in dispute, but all the personal details of those relationships are in question, because no one left a record behind of private conversations between these folks. Apparently, what disturbs some folks the most about this series is the question of what race Cleopatra was. I find that a moot point, since her race does not change her story and the results of her life, and death. That is what is most important.
