People saw the true face of Cleopatra through the portrait of Cleopatra in Berlin Museum, Germany. She is not glamorous at all: her hair is simply curly and her nose is a little straight, but her thin lips are not sexy at all. Besides, she doesn't wear any jewelry, so it's hard to imagine what kind of perfume she would use.
In addition, the British Museum in London also held a grand exhibition about Cleopatra, and also exhibited Cleopatra's 1 1 statue. Interestingly, almost all the statues have the same characteristics: they look ordinary, their faces are well-defined and they look very rigorous. Not only that, she is short and fat, obviously bloated and obese, dressed very simply, and has ordinary teeth-this is the so-called "Cleopatra".
Are these women really fascinated by Caesar and Anthony? That's true, but what fascinated the two emperors was not her beauty, but her profound knowledge-"Cleopatra" conquered people's hearts with excellent ideas and knowledge. A study by British scholars proves that Cleopatra knows five languages, and she usually likes to get together with intellectuals.
Ocasa Al-Dali, an Egyptian archaeologist at University of London, discovered that Cleopatra was actually a talented mathematician, chemist and philosopher after studying some medieval Arabic documents. She has written several books about science herself, and her court is where she meets with some scientific experts to discuss scientific issues! Alain Bowman, an ancient Egyptian historian, also spoke highly of the Queen, saying that the skills she used at that time were the same as those we use now when dealing with international relations. In the process of getting along with famous Roman generals, the three weapons she used were pungent, intelligent and gentle.
In fact, Arab scholars in the Middle Ages always called Cleopatra a "kind scholar". As for her appearance, those Arab scholars seldom mention it, let alone confuse anyone with her beauty. Dali explained that people would regard Cleopatra as a romantic queen simply because they listened to what her enemies said. In other words, everything we know about her now comes from her enemy, the Romans. Because of their hatred for her, the Romans deliberately portrayed her as a sexy and submissive stunner.
