Complete nonsens. 1) Ptolemies NEVER intermarried with native Egyptians. If Cleopatra's mother was by chance Egyptian, she was concubine at best. 2) Ptolemy XII is NOT known to have Nubian concubine. (He coudl of course, but there is zero records of it) 3) All Egyptian images of Cleopatra are currently blank, but when it had colours, she surely had light 👩🏻 or beige skin 👩🏽, as that was way to depict Egyptan women, Egyptian art isn't realistic anyway - it was highly stylistic and symbolic. Roman art was alse styled, but more realistic and it shows Cleopatra as European looking woman with auburn hair 👩🏻‍🦰. Her mother could be member of Ptolemaic dynasty or light-skinned Egyptian - there were many native Egyptians with light complexion and fair hair, for example Pharaoh Ramesses II 👨🏼‍🦰 or his great-grandson Siptah 👱🏼‍♂️.
