Description

Did you know that Cleopatra, the famous queen of ancient Egypt, was not actually an Egyptian?

Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy I Soter, a general who served the legendary Macedonian king Alexander the Great. She reigned over Egypt for nearly twenty-one years, and she first stepped onto the throne when she was just eighteen years old. Her life was full of challenges and treacherous events, but she proved to be one of the most important figures in ancient history.

The Egyptian queen was often misunderstood by many storytellers from all over the world. She was painted as a beautiful, seductive queen who craved power above all. But was that really true? Did the pharaoh only care about her throne, and did she possess nothing but only her exotic beauty?

The truth is that the queen was highly despised by the Romans, and they were the ones that depicted her as a power-hungry ruler of Egypt. Most historians who wrote about her were heavily influenced by the Romans, who had managed to erase her side of the story. Most of her fingerprints, too, were gone, all lost to history, so it can be hard for readers who are curious about the Egyptian queen to actually find an easy-to-read guide that tells her story.

But that is about to change. In this new Captivating History book, you will discover the truth about the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt.

Here's just a small fraction of what you'll discover:

• The early life of Cleopatra.

• Her exile and journey to reclaim her throne.
