CLEOPATRA
HI, MY NAME IS NOHEMI,I AM GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT EGYPTIAN QUEENS. I READ ABOUT CLEOPATRA, THE LAST PTOLEMATIC PHARAOH, AND THE ONLY ONE TO SPEAK EGYPTIAN. CLEOPATRA TRIED TO PREVENT ROME FROM TAKING OVER EGYPT. SHE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A ROMAN GENERAL, JULIUS CAESAR AND THEY HAD A SON. AFTER CAESAR'S DEATH, SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER ROMAN GENERAL, MARK ANTHONY. THEY HAD THREE CHILDREN AND PLANNED TO RULE THE MIGHTY KINGDOM OF EGYPT TOGETHER. MARK ANTHONY KILLED HIMSELF AFTER RECEIVING A FALSE REPORT OF CLIPART'S DEATH. CLEOPATRA COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTERWARDS. LEGEND SAYS THAT BY CLASPING A POISONOUS ASP (A COBRA) TO HER BREAST, CLEOPATRA DIED. THAT'S WHAT I READ ABOUT THE EGYPTIAN QUEEN CLEOPATRA.
QUEEN HATSHEPSUT WAS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE WOMEN OF ANCIENT TIMES. SHE MARRIED HER HALF -BROTHER, KING THUTMOSE II. SHE BECAME HIS QUEEN, YET WHEN THUTMOSE DIED SOON AFTER, HATSHEPSUT RULED FOR 20 YEARS. AFTER 26 YEARS HATSHEPSUT DISAPPEARED FROM HISTORY. HER STEP SON THUTMOSE III, BECAME PHARAOH AFTER HER DISAPPEARANCE.
