too many people on twitter think she is black (i think they have her confused with nefertiti, who would totally deserve a movie about her life too) when all historical data says she was macedonian greek so they are too afraid to cast her
Juan Cruz
you guys are fucking retarded. the main thing wrong with her is that shes been blacked
Evan Russell
i would happily slurp every last drop of milk from her tits

No you're fucking retarded, the main problem is that she hasn't fucked enough black guys.

Nefertiti was purebred Egyptian. You're thinking of Cleopatra.
This is the best likeness we have of Nefertiti. It may not be accurate because most of the sculpture of the Amarna period took stylistic liberties. Statues of her husband Akhenaten, produced by the same sculptor, didn't bear much resemblance to the actual man when they finally found his mummy.
Even so, it's obvious she didn't look like a Kang. This is close to what ethnic Egyptians look like today.

Historical accounts of Cleo describe her as somewhat homely. She was attractive because she was cultivated and regal.
So yeah. We won't get a Hollywood Cleo for essentially the same reason you said, but in this case the aversion is to inner beauty.
You know how you question whether you believe a thing just because you want it to be true? Whatever part of the prefrontal cortex is responsible for that, blacks just don't have it.

Parker Ramirez
Can't they just cast someone who's passable as african to please SJW and as south european (Greek or Macedonian whatever) to be historically accurate?
Ryder Ortiz
SJWs think Egyptians were literally African American. Not just black, literal ancestors of African Americans. Ignore the fact that Egyptian royalty was almost entirely Greek or mutts.

Nubian dynasty lasted for less than century. The following dynasty was pretty effectively focused on putting the nubians where they belong and sent many punitive expeditions to wage war against them. They got conquered by Persians and Persian dynasties in the end were rekt by Alexander the Great.
Any educated SJW knows that ancient Egyptians weren't niggers for most part and blacks were always a minority, but they can't say that to stupid niggers that are woke in regards to Afro-centric history. The truth is racist. So telling 'em the obvious is pretty much the worst thing a person can do.

Because if they actually cast a racially accurate Egyptian queen, a black Afrikan woman, white people would literally lose their fucking minds.

Blake Long
Cleopatra wasn't an Egyptian. She was a Macedonian Greek, just like the rest of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Egypt hadn't been ruled by Egyptians in hundreds of years at that point. Even before the conquest by Alexander in 332 B.C., it had been ruled by the Persians since 525, with the exception of a six-decade interlude of independent rule by a series of weak, native pharaohs (comprising three distinct dynasties) propped up by Greek support, which only lasted as long as it did because of internal power struggles in Persia.
We know more or less what she looked like from busts made during her lifetime (pic related is one of the best preserved).
Joseph Collins
Not white or black but middle eastern or brown you wuzzer
Kevin Lewis
>pic related is one of the best preserved
?
Sebastian Gonzalez
Only the slaves and peasants, the children of Ra were the ones that were lighter skinned, thus important.

No, Cleopatra was overwhelmingly Macedonian (White). In fact several pharaohs before her were Greek too.
Dylan Foster
yus
there are ancient coins of her she was not very good looking at all, but she was highly educated and held a presence and conversation on a par to any high status men which made them go apeshit for her
Luis Edwards
The coins are rather variable, and they aren't always much to go by given how relatively primitive the state of engraving was. She doesn't look remotely African on any of them, though.
Hunter Cooper
Coins, ancient coins especially, should never be used as a means to determine what someone actually looked like. That being said, she looks like an aged black woman on that coin.
Alexander Cook
>several
Try sixteen (counting joint reigns). And before that it was Persians. When Cleopatra came to the throne in 51 B.C., there hadn't been a native Egyptian pharaoh in 292 years.
Jacob Flores
Kinda cute
Robert Barnes
Isaac Price
>ancient coins especially, should never be used as a means to determine what someone actually looked like.
They provide some evidence. It's just not always worth much. Especially not any single instance. OTOH, when you have enough data points from a whole reign's worth, they can be of some value.
>she looks like an aged black woman on that coin.
With that aquiline nose? No chance.
That's the one feature that's pretty consistent across coins (and sculptures). Pic related is another.
Henry Martin
She was ordinary, and a little thicc. It wasn't her looks that she is remembered for.
>With that aquiline nose? No chance.
Seriously, the first thing that came to mind was an old and sun burnt black woman with the facial features of a snow tire, especially with that rag-thing in her hair.
Luke Lee

She ain't black but she ain't white
Connor Gray

Of course. It was her 'slutness' :D
Btw can't they just unwrap her mummy?
Brandon Martin
Similar to this.
Isaac Cox
>Mark Anthony where are you...
Chase Hill
>sixteen
Or nineteen, even. There were sixteen in the Ptolemaic dynasty, but I forgot to count Alexander the Great himself. Alexander IV (born two months after his father's death), and his co-ruler Philip III (Alexander the Great's mentally retarded half-brother) nominally ruled the whole empire as well, although Ptolemy Soter, who was officially only satrap (royal governor) of Egypt, soon rebelled against the regent Perdiccas, and made himself pharaoh.

The Egyptians had murals of them conquering a group of black-skinned people. Beside the garments and weaponry, you could easily distinguish between the Egyptians the people they conquered because the Egyptians were brownish and the defeated people were jet black.

You dun fucked up. No shit they have to be afraid of one and not the other. Libcucks riot over one but praise the other.
Dylan Martin
That's just a legend. It has been paid off, though it took until 1966, so 3 years. They've already done a 50th Anniversary restored version in 2013, which restored 192 min to 251 min, so they're already spent money on it. The rest of the director's cut is lost, 70 mins worth of film.
Chase Evans

Robert Gomez
Modern Greeks are Turks. Ancient Greeks were unironically blond-haired, blue-eyed whites. It’s documented in many ancient texts that Greeks had pale skin and Aryan hair and eye colours.
Landon Perez

How much arab are you?
John Carter
I’m not claiming they were Germanic, just stating the fact that multiple Greeks are described in Ancient Greek works as having non-black hair colours and non-brown eye colours. Modern Greeks have a fair bit of Turkish DNA, that’s a fact, and even if Ancient Greeks did look like modern Greeks (they didn’t) they’d still be considered white. So yes, we were Socrates, but niggers we’re never kangs. Come up with something original for once, reddit.

Plus she was from the Ptolemeic era where it was the Greeks running Egypt. She was one of the later fake pharoh, puppets set up to rule Egypt by the Greeks and later Romans.

Gee. It's almost as if race isn't all one thing or another. The Egyptians are neither black nor white. They're really mixed genetics and somewhere inbetween.
Dylan Kelly

Explain this, men.
Love how you guys are always shaming us for allegedly racemixing despite white women being the group the LEAST likely to racemix.

Logan Miller
>It's almost as if race isn't all one thing or another.
No one said this.
>inbetween
Not even remotely. See
High caste Egyptians then were much like high-caste Egyptians today. See
By saying "inbetween" you are attempting an ideological compromise. But no one is looking to compromise on that issue. You are both wrong and out in the cold.
Jose Carter
Just a reminder that prime Monica Bellucci played Cleopatra and had a sexy scene with the director's self-insert character played by himself.
Josiah Lopez
>Love how you guys are always shaming us for allegedly racemixing
It's nonwhites and discord trannies trying to meme this into reality, and create a split between euros and white Americans.
If there's one thing we learned from the Weinstein scandal, it's what our ancestors always knew: women who pursue fame are all prostitutes. Their clientele are the wealthy men who can pay them with that fame.
Far too beautiful and dumb to be a realistic Cleo. Nice to look at in exotic costume, though.
Adam Perez
>i think they have her confused with nefertiti
You're giving them way too much credit, they legitimately think Cleopatra was black
Colton Adams
While these camwhores make a lot of money, their clientele are a tiny sliver of the male population. Those who do pay for their streams are enjoying their looks at a comfortable distance. Most men, these customers included, will balk in the real presence of such women. When we see them up close and witness their vapid personalities the reality isn't all that appealing.
The last thing I actually want is a "hot chick." I've turned two down because their vapid conversation turned me off.
Noah Price
Many also think Beethoven and king George the Third were black.
A contingent of these also believe America is really Africa, the Mississippi is actually the Nile, and as the true Native Americans they're owed land and stipends.
Sub-Sharan Negros will believe pretty much anything if they think it leads to status and cash.

>What's a nubian?
A biological weapon that ruined the ancient Egypt for good. They are a nigger tribe that populates parts of modern southern Egypt, but mostly exists in modern day Sudan. In modern Egypt they are a tiny minority. They rebelled and took over ancient Egypt for 88 years. Basically Nubian dynasty was the catastrophe that bought down ancient Egypt as independent nation. After that there was one dynasty that kinda tried to remove nubians from the premises and after another century Egypt became puppet state ruled by invaders or their local proxies permanently. Arab invasions in middle ages led to populations descending from the ancient Egyptians becoming a minority in their own country. On more recent history Egyptian military has utilized Nubians as telecommunications encrypting devices in their wars against Israel, since they speak rather obscure language they could be utilized as code talkers.
They have very little to do with American blacks.
Henry Lopez
Not black enough for one side not white enough for the other side.

>both sides ree
strawman, nobody would complain about historical accuracy if things were portrayed as they actually were:
portraying jews and negros as pharaohs slaves, and and greeks and arabs as merchants woupd cause noone to complain.
rami malek is egyptian, sophia boutella is algerian, anissa kate is alrgerian, etc etc etc
none of these people are "brown" you fucking disgusting shitskin.
have you never seen greeks, turks, jews or arabs in your life?
