Well we know she was of Macedonian Greek ancestry, we know that ancient
"Nobility" was as protective of blood lines as any other, though apparently
adoption was more so an option. Still, it doesn't appear as though interbreeding
between social classes would have been too much of a thing, much less
between races... at least for the upper classes.
What I'm saying is that it's doubtful that Cleopatra would have looked like
anything other than a typical Macedonian or perhaps Mediterranean woman.
I do know that I have seen & posted mainstream media articles attacking
people for attributing the same skin color to Nefertiti as did the ancient
Egyptians. And in a world THAT screwed up, THAT insane I can't imagine
that anything I just said is tolerated, much less accepted.
