The legendary Greek queen of Egypt is presented as colored, contrary to history and her depictions in art so far
The new NETFLIX documentary about Cleopatra, which will be uploaded to the platform on May 10, has sparked a lot of reactions.
In the poster and the trailer of the documentary, the legendary queen of Egypt is presented as colored, against history and until now depictions in Art.
Cleopatra was an ancient Greek queen and not Egyptian as many think.
He was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek family of Macedonian origin, which ruled Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great during the Hellenistic period.
The comments accompanying the official trailer on YouTube are far from flattering for the platform, with users pointing out that Netflix needs to learn history.
The distortion of history regarding the origin and appearance of Cleopatra caused reactions even in Egypt, with social media users reminding the platform of the reality.
