Any remains and new sayings about Cleopatra can always attract the attention of the world. It is no wonder that the last queen of Ptolemy dynasty in ancient Egypt, with her legendary peerless beauty and love affairs with heroes such as Caesar and Anthony, once inspired the rich imagination of poets, writers, painters and artists of all ages, such as Dante's Hell and Shakespeare's Caesar the Great. They all described her as an "unparalleled sensual temptress"; Bernard Shaw also called her "a willful and selfless woman". However, there are also historical records that her beauty is "not outstanding or amazing". Some archaeologists joked: "If her nose is not so high, I am afraid that world history will be rewritten."
In the Hollywood blockbuster Cleopatra, Cleopatra is portrayed as using her own color to lure Caesar to fall at her feet and help her defeat her own brother to the throne. After Caesar was assassinated, she attracted Anthony to work for him. However, things did not develop according to people's wishes. Anthony's behavior aroused the anger of Roman citizens. After being completely defeated in the battle with the Romans, Cleopatra saw that the tide was gone and had to bite her chest with a poisonous snake to commit suicide. She is only 38 years old.
It is precisely because Cleopatra has such a legendary color that any discovery of her historical relics has caused a worldwide sensation, especially in the field of archaeology. After the news that Cleopatra signed the decree came out, the world archaeological community was excited. Archaeologists who deeply admire the academic level of Dutch historian Minnie in the British Museum are convinced that the manuscript discovered by Minnie is definitely Cleopatra's signature, because Minnie's research has never been missed. Susan Volcker, deputy director of the Greek and Roman Antiques Museum of the British Museum, said with great certainty: "This must be Cleopatra's autograph, because the contents of the document can be traced back to 33 BC, which is the only handwriting left by Cleopatra VII." Volcker further analyzed that this handwritten document is not only a government document, but also a concrete embodiment of Cleopatra's political skills.
According to the historical facts recorded by Plutarch, a famous biographer and essayist in ancient Greece, in his masterpiece Comparative Biographies of Celebrities in Greece and Rome, "Cleopatra longed for Anthony's asylum after Caesar's death, but met with a soft nail. As a result, Cleopatra immediately turned his main attack direction to Canidis, Anthony's most effective general, and finally bribed the influential Rome Prize. Canidis later persuaded Anthony to agree to shelter Cleopatra, and Anthony fell into Cleopatra's gentle trap. "
However, two years later, in 3 1 BC, Canidis joined the crusaders against Cleopatra and Anthony. The commander-in-chief of the Roman army joined forces with the maritime forces commanded by Augustus to defeat Cleopatra and her lover Anthony.
Alain Bowman, another ancient Egyptian historian, said: "The discovery of this document shows that Cleopatra never defended her country and her throne just by virtue of her beauty. The skills she uses are no different from those when we deal with international relations now. This is the true embodiment of Cleopatra's beauty and wisdom. "
In fact, during Cleopatra's reign, ancient Egypt was still very prosperous. At the beginning of this year, when American archaeologist Godiet and his Egyptian colleagues dived into the seabed near Alexandria, they saw block after block and statue after statue, which was the love nest built by Cleopatra and her last lover, Mike Antony * * *-Alexander. It is the marine explorer Frank Gaudiert and his archaeological expedition that brought this legendary ancient royal city back to life. Their amazing discovery proves that the history of ancient Egypt is still prosperous. Of course, this also proves that Cleopatra is not only a beautiful queen, but also a talented queen.
