Netflix Cleopatra is Worse Than I Thought. I watched it

Thanks to all of you noble ones for supporting my work during this difficult situation with youtube. You are the best.
I watched the first episode of Cleopatra on Netflix, and it's much worse than I had expected. On this video I'll do a full analysis of the characters, costumes, armour, weapons and the overall message and historical information that is presented.

UPDATE! Monetization is back! You did it Noble ones! I think the Twitter pressure, the views, plus Shad's video did it. I was given direct contact with the ad sense team, and they put monetization back. I calculated how much revenue I lost these 4 days, it's a lot, but the donations covered that completely and surpassed it. So now, I'm officially independently funded, and thanks to you I can keep posting even if they do this again. Will they? Not sure. Should I remove this upload on Cleopatra to be safe? NOT A CHANCE. This video stays. Onward onto the next battle. Some haters rejoiced of my demonetization and hoped I would stop speaking. Your support and donations turned me into armoured Metatron. Armoured Metatron cannot be silenced.

Thank you for watching, so we don't have to.

As an archeology student this is really painful when people just deliberatly ignore the facts

Netflix is proud to say that no Egyptians were used to make this film...

[NIDELLANEUM]

My main issue with this documentary is not about who plays Cleopatra. It's that they legittimately used "my grandma used to say" as a reliable source. In a documentary.
You're telling me that, when making a DOCUMENTARY, you use your grandma's words as a source? Without something to back her up?

[Niusereset]

I remember renowned egyptologists saying to me: I don't care what your grandma tells you, *Cleopatra wasn't black.*

As an Egyptian, I really want to thank you for all the effort you do to defend the truth and with it our history, even your channel got demonetized and you still making videos... YOU ARE A HERO!

[easterbunny]

Maybe Netflix should do "historic" series about Wakanda next?

As a black African, I need to just say that this need to “re-represent” everything is a black AMERICAN phenomenon. Us here on the continent know full well that Egyptians look very different from sub-Saharan Africans. In fact, we know that most of them identify as Arabs and not necessarily “Africans”.

My wife is Greek and one of the unfortunate things we see about her culture is misrepresentation. Thank you for making this and giving correct historical information.

After the black Vikings, black Romans, and black Cleopatra, I'm waiting for the next project about the black Yin dynasty in China.

In 100 years:
Metatron was an Inuit.
He lived on the American continent where there also were Inuit and native American settlements.
Maybe at some point some Europeans (who are central asiatic of course) also came there but the natives were there earlier and therefore prevalent.
Also he wore leather bands.

Pretty much every egyptian in the show is depicted as black. Its not just that they were claiming Cleopatra was black, they clearly want to present Egypt as a black civilization. Oh and i love that they try to give her credit for the Julian calendar.

[MrLurkingShadows]

As an Egyptian I thank you for using your precious time on something not-so-precious and clearing up what is already apparent. I applaud you for your hard work :)

[zoebaggins]

As a Greek woman, like Cleopatra, I thank and salute you. 🫡

Imagine, if my German great-grandfather would have told me: "No matter, what they'll tell you at school..." 😱😅

[conker]

“We shouldn’t assume that she looked like a white European” therefore we should imagine she looked like a black American.

Saying "my truth" as a form of defense for an argument is the same as saying "I pretend that ... and you have to agree."

Thanks. I learned more about Cleopatra and Egypt from this one video than the entire million-dollar Netflix series
