Out of curiosity I looked up Queen Cleopatra on Rotten Tomatoes. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/queen_cleopatra Those ratings... 18% from critics... 3% from audiences!!! Oof... "Most critics felt like the series copied better, more enriching shows to ill effect."

Timely release of Historia Civilis' latest video on the Fall of the Roman Republic, a series he's been doing for the past few years. Spoilers for the Netflix show, just FYI. Also... Cleopatra was apparently a blue square. So both sides can suck on that fact. And if you're unfamiliar with...

It's back up as of the day before yesterday.

Haters gonna hate. This Cleopatra series is breaking records! https://notthebee.com/article/jada-pinkett-smiths-queen-cleopatra-netflix-show-is-the-lowest-rated-show-in-rotten-tomatoes-history Look at that Rotten Tomatoes score!

Metatron actually did an interesting video response to the comments made by the Director and the Producer (Jada Pinkett Smith) in regards to the blackfacing of Cleopatra. Even more appreciatively, he spent the last portion of the video to talk about the Kandake of Kush whom was referenced...

I responded to your post that "Egypt" denies the 25th Dynasty ruled over them so I brought up the most prominent Egyptologist stating otherwise. I don't care about some random Egyptian Lawyers lawsuit. But if I did, why do I have to look it up? If I can look it up, surely you can. I will state...

Actually Dr. Zahi Hawass has brought up the 25th Dynasty. He also brought it up in a Facebook post, which in turn was picked up by news articles. https://greekreporter.com/2023/04/18/egyptologist-minister-antiquities-netflix-cleopatra/ The 25th Dynasty has almost nothing to do with...

Yesssss... Greece and Egypt versus Numidia! I wish I could do a "We Wuz Kweenz!" playthrough of Rome: Total War but alas, Creative Assembly is deeply racist and after a decade or whatever, still hasn't made Numidia a playable faction without mods. 😞

Whipped up this promo for Netflix in MS Paint. I know Jada Pinkett Smith will love my ideas for her docuseries. Call me Netflix.

Oh man, that Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass decided to speak out on this Netflix Documentary as well. https://egyptindependent.com/hawass-criticizes-depicting-cleopatra-as-black-in-netflix-film/ What a guy. I remember when I was young, watching the first episode of The Amazing Adventures of Zahi...

One of my best friends is Lebanese and never shuts up about how Awesomely Phoenician/Cathaginian they are. Which, let me be clear, is perfectly fine and awesome for her to do. Gotta get it out there before her entire identity is appropriated by activist African-Americans for a Netflix series.

Don't tell these people about Dido Founding Carthage. They'll appropriate her too. Next thing you know Black Hannibal is breaking down the Gates of Rome on he/hims War Elephant and we get some historian talking about how Black Carthage invented Maritime trade and Hanno the Navigator discovered...

Bruhhhhhh she had one eye and a bunch of dead loved ones. Most tragic backstory ever. https://sofrep.com/news/amanirenas-the-queen-who-pushed-back-roman-invasion/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanirenas No Docuseries for you!

They could've just Googled DuckDuckGo'd African Queens during the classical period and probably found the account of that Queen of Kush/Ancient Nubia who fended off a Roman Invasion like a generation after Cleopatra and made a docuseries about someone so unknown I can't even be arsed to see if...
