Good-looking skin bags are the same, interesting souls are one of the best, no one will refuse pleasing things, but the attraction of external appearance is temporary.
Under the erosion of time, the green silk that is moist like seaweed will turn into white hair, and the delicate skin like jade will appear wrinkles.
What can fascinate people for a long time must be the intrinsic quality, the broad vision of the understanding, the pace of continuous learning, and the tenacity of the dedication to the cause.
The true face of Cleopatra
Cleopatra has successfully entered the hearts of countless audiences through film and television works, and the perfect interpretation of the famous movie star Elizabeth Taylor has made everyone take it for granted.
This woman, who held the highest power thousands of years ago, must have a charming appearance.
Precious gold, by the skillful hands of craftsmen, is made into exquisite jewelry, layered in layers, in long hair like clouds.
Under the sharp eyebrows of the blade, there is a pair of deep eyes like an ancient well, which are set off by dark eyeshadow, showing the majesty of the superior.
The bright lips, as if they could spit out venom at any time, existed like a beautiful snake, and were called the demon women on the banks of the Nile.
In the unified view of later generations, the only one who can deserve the name Cleopatra is the last female pharaoh of ancient Egypt, her name is Cleopatra.
But in real history, Cleopatra's appearance is not beautiful.
It can be known through the cultural relics circulated that the most prominent of the female pharaoh's physical characteristics is her nose.
Her nose is like a hill, towering and appearing, occupying an extremely conspicuous position, with a wide forehead and a small chin, which is different from the feminine and sexy film and television image.
Coupled with the fact that it is not tall, it has more obvious masculine characteristics.
The appearance of the female pharaoh can be beautified and imagined by later generations, but the achievements achieved in history cannot be fabricated. Even her mediocre appearance could not stop this outstanding woman from having a huge impact on the development of ancient Egypt.
Cleopatra was able to leave his own mark in the tide of history, not by the appearance of the country, but by the wisdom of the people, and the king's spirit of deciding with the killing law.
With her own inner strength, she conquered two generations of outstanding rulers at that time and stood at the peak of power for a long time.
Return to Egypt with Caesar
In ancient society, science and technology were not very developed, limited by cognition, and blood was considered to be the most unbreakable bond.
In order to maintain the honor of blood and the stability of the rule, the marriage of close relatives became a common means for the royal family.
Under his father's arrangement, Cleopatra married his half-brother and jointly ran Egypt.
The space in which the superior lives is small and lonely, and never allows another person to share power with himself. After marriage, the woman is sharp and shows her ambition in front of everyone.
Her actions caused concern among her courtiers, and it was not long before Cleopatra was expelled from Egypt by her brother and his courtiers, away from the political center.
Unwillingness and anger filled the woman's body, she never wanted to concede defeat easily, and just as she was preparing for the counterattack, she accidentally saw the heroic posture of Julius Caesar of Rome.
In order to make this wise monarch promise to help himself and regain power. Cleopatra tried his best to get close to Julius Caesar.
In the face of the man she asked for, she did not bend her knees like an ordinary person, only promises.
Through the night, Cleopatra slowly emerged from the blanket, with a confident glow, and her eyes shone with determination and seriousness. Will fight on the battlefield, see the beautiful face of Julius Caesar, deeply attracted, cheerfully agreed, to help her return to the throne.
In return, Cleopatra and Caesar toured the beautiful scenery of the Nile river together, and in the deepening understanding, the woman gradually showed her unique charm.
She was a highly respected university scholar at the time, an authority in alchemy, mathematics, science, and five languages.
In Caesar's eyes, the woman was like a rare treasure, drawn uncontrollably to her, falling under her pomegranate skirt.
The power struggle is headed to death
Unfortunately, things in reality are never fairy tales.
Two people living happily together will not be the end of the story, and even the supreme rulers of ancient society cannot control the direction of events.
Just as Cleopatra, with Julius Caesar as his patron, took control of Egypt in its entirety and enjoyed the fragrance of power, an accident occurred suddenly.
Caesar was assassinated, and her desire to become the first lady of Rome was in vain, and the woman had no choice but to leave temporarily. But she clearly understood that Egypt was very weak in the face of the Roman Empire.
To ensure the integrity of the country and its own status, we can only continue to find new backers. At that time, Rome was ruled by Octavian and Antony.
Three years after Caesar's assassination, Antony, as a military general, prepared to tour the country and raise funds to support the army.
When the mighty procession marched to the vicinity of Cleopatra, the two met. The woman was well aware of the importance of this meeting and planned it carefully.
On a pearlescent ship decorated with gold and silver, Cleopatra is dressed in costume and dressed as Venus, the goddess of love, and sits in a gauze tent as thin as a cicada's wing.
The breeze blows, wafting the natural fragrance of the flowers, with a face that seems to be like a fairy driving to the world.
A high-ranking queen, willing to go to great lengths to please herself, unprecedented, the pleasure of conquest, so that Antony also became cleopatra's under-the-skirt courtiers.
The two eventually moved to the palace of marriage, through which Egypt was not only not threatened by the powerful Rome, but the queen also took the vast land east of Rome for herself, and the two lived a happy life of childbearing.
Thanks to Cleopatra's efforts, Egypt was in a phase of stability and the regime was renewed.
The Queen has devoted all her energies to her country, and her governing ability is no less than that of any male monarch.
epilogue
But in the eyes of the Roman people, Antony's act of giving land seriously damaged the interests of the empire. With the support of the Senate, Octavian and Antony began a fierce battle.
Antony's forces and the Egyptian coalition collapsed and were defeated and killed.
The queen saw that the tide was gone, and after a grand funeral for her husband, she ended her wonderful life with a snake.
Whether her true appearance is a country-beating city, or short and ugly. Cleopatra used her actions to become an outstanding woman of antiquity. In the era when men hold the right to speak, a different path of life has been embarked upon.
