I swear I learned more about Cleopatra in this single show than I did in a semester at college.

Being ruthless and having relatives killed is pretty standard stuff for royalty throughout history - Cleopatra is just one of many who've done whatever it takes to reach, and then stay, at the top.

FINALLY A INFOGRAPHICS SHOW EPISODE NOT ABOUT RUSSIA, CHINA, OR WORLD WAR 3! What happened to the Challenge Guy?! The Random facts about human anatomy? CreepyPastas? Ancient History lessons? Tech news? I'm Happy to see Infographics cover the Ukraine Russia conflict, but I loved Infographics BECAUSE it had a wide variety of subjects. I miss that. Will that ever come back?

When a YouTube video is more factional/educational than a Netflix documentary

Cleopatra was a scapegoat slandered by Caesar Augustus. She had the same faults common among monarchs during antiquity, but she was far more intelligent and far less evil than most modern sources might claim. She was a shrewd woman who survived and thrived in a time period when it was almost impossible for women to hold positions of power.

There’s some things that make Cleopatra stand out from all the rest. She’s beyond everything everyone would ever assume about her. She may have held power and authority during her time, however her complex nature is the driving force behind every thing she’s ever known for.

FUN FACT: The ancient pyramids and Sphinx of Egypt were further in the past for Cleopatra in her time than Cleopatra is to us today!

Cleopatra sounds a lot like our present narcistic politicians 😅

I've been studying Cleopatra for a while now and I just have to say history would not be the same without her, Blessed Be.

I loved this video, could you guys do 50 facts about Catherine the great? I'm interested in her story too.

“I’m the queen of the Nile so just bow down to me. Plus you got so much experience down on your knees, married a writer but I don’t even think you can read.” Cleopatra

1. She wasn't black, Netflix and Jada.

[AndyKnudsen]

You do realize she was Queen of Egypt. It was normal for Royalty to be seen as Gods, particularly in Egypt. Most of her history was written by people who had reason to make her look bad. Also, you can't just drop a pearl in vinegar and then drink it. At the very least it would take 24 hours to dissolve or to boil the vinegar.

13:40 imagine you were a child of a literal queen and a statesman just to have your name used for a below average pizza brand.

Im so glad to see you finally upload a video not based on the war and military. Please continue to upload these kinds of videos, i really miss them

1. She was of Macedonian/Greek Descent and Incestual Breeding.

Cleopatra was Madonna's Great Grandma ¹³
The partying and abiliity to go through men like Taylor Swift make the connection clear...

[JadedJester]

It's crazy and baffling how they would've known and correlated the fact that drinking does harm to your liver that many centuries ago.

[phenomenallymeapparel]

That checklist they did toward the end would apply to most rulers of that time and almost every politician today so I wouldn't be so quick to act like she's not on par with the rest

THANK YOU for finally giving us a video that _isn't_ about War, Russia, China, or Ukraine. We've missed the _old_ infographics show ❤🤗
