Cleopatra has fascinated us for 2,000 years. The legendary last queen of Egypt was the wealthiest, most powerful woman in the world. Today, she remains one of the most famous women of history and a pop culture icon. Yet, the real Cleopatra is shrouded in myth and misinformation. Powerful Roman men were the ones to record her story, their tales eventually making their way into the history books. The image of a scheming, sinister and seductive woman has been immortalized by poets, painters and, of course, Hollywood. In this startling new documentary from The Nature of Things, we discover that most of what we know about this iconic politician and scholar is wrong.
