00:00It is said that Cleopatra used to bathe in the milk of 18 donkeys to make her body and face more shiny.
00:09Silence spread throughout the court.
00:11It seemed as if a very beautiful fairy had come out of the carpet.
00:17And in a polite manner, saying hello, she said,
00:20I am Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt.
00:30Friends, today's video is about Egypt's most beautiful, intelligent and powerful queen,
00:45who forced the world to bow down to her mind and beauty.
00:50This is the story of Cleopatra.
00:53I will not go into the story in great detail, otherwise the video will be very long.
00:57We will only cover the important pointers so that you can understand the story and enjoy it.
01:05So let's go on this royal journey.
01:08So the story begins 2,000 years ago in 69 BC.
01:13A city located on the coast of the north coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt, Alexandria.
01:18A girl was born there, named Cleopatra.
01:22Her father Ptolemy XII was the king of Egypt at that time.
01:26Cleopatra was famous not only for her beauty but also for her intelligence.
01:32She started learning politics and science at a very young age.
01:37Cleopatra not only learned the language of Egypt in her education,
01:41but also learned 11 different languages,
01:44of which the main languages ​​at that time were Greek, Arabic, Latin and Egyptian.
01:50From these languages ​​she influenced the kings of other countries.
01:54When her father Ptolemy XII died, Cleopatra was only 18 years old.
02:01And her younger brother Ptolemy XIII was only 10 years old.
02:06According to the ancient Egyptian tradition,
02:08in order to save the royal treasure and power from being taken by a stranger,
02:12the marriage of brothers and sisters was considered important.
02:16And to maintain the purity of blood in the family,
02:19the marriages of brothers and sisters were held.
02:22Fulfilling this tradition, Cleopatra also married her younger brother.
02:27For Cleopatra, the purpose of marriage was not only to maintain the purity of blood,
02:32but also to gain political power.
02:37But in the midst of politics, Cleopatra had to face the enmity of her brother.
02:43Her brother's advisors forced Cleopatra to wash her hands of her claim.
02:50Because of this, Cleopatra was expelled from the royal palace.
02:54But Cleopatra also had a royal blood in her,
02:57who was not going to give up so easily.
03:00She had understood the trick of her enemies well.
03:04Cleopatra knew that if she wanted to achieve everything,
03:08she would have to join hands with the most powerful person of that time.
03:13And that person was the great emperor of Rome, Julius Caesar.
03:21Julius Caesar had come to the royal court of Egypt at that time.
03:29But it was not so easy to reach Caesar,
03:32because all the guards of the royal palace were under his watch.
03:36Cleopatra made a great plan to meet Caesar.
03:39She trapped her loyal soldier in her trap
03:43and prepared him to take Cleopatra inside the royal palace.
03:48So she sent a message that the queen of Egypt, Cleopatra,
03:52wants to give a gift to the great emperor Julius Caesar.
03:56It was a normal thing for Caesar, so he accepted this offer.
04:00According to the plan, it was decided that Cleopatra would be hidden in a large carpet
04:05and taken to the royal palace in front of Caesar.
04:08That night, Cleopatra showed off her beauty before wrapping herself in the carpet.
04:14She wore deep blue velvet clothes,
04:17sprayed her hair with roses,
04:20and drew deep lines on her face with thick kohl.
04:24It is said that Cleopatra used to bathe in the milk of 18 donkeys
04:29to make her body and face more shiny.
04:33Anyway, now the time came when Cleopatra was laid in the carpet.
04:38Her heart was beating very fast.
04:41She thought that either everything will change today
04:44or this plan will ruin her.
04:47The soldiers put the carpet in Caesar's room and said,
04:50this is a gift from the queen of Egypt for you.
04:54Caesar told his guards to open it.
04:57As soon as the carpet was opened, there was silence in the whole court.
05:02It seemed as if a very beautiful fairy had come out of the carpet.
05:08With a slight smile, Cleopatra looked into Caesar's eyes
05:13and said in a polite manner,
05:16I am Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt.
05:20Now Caesar lost his mind.
05:22He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
05:25He understood that this woman is not only beautiful,
05:29but also very clever, which can come in handy in the future.
05:34Cleopatra's arrow hit the target.
05:37Now she had the power to unite with Caesar and defeat her enemies.
05:42Not only politics, but also a deep relationship had been established between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra.
05:48She started spending time with Caesar in Rome.
05:51The rumors of Cleopatra's beauty had now spread from Rome to Egypt.
05:56Her beauty entangled every politician in Rome.
06:01Now she knew very well that she could control anyone on the basis of her beauty.
06:08When Cleopatra and Caesar's relationship was at its peak,
06:11then one day someone killed Caesar in the parliament of Rome.
06:22When this news reached Cleopatra, she was shocked.
06:27She could see everything breaking now,
06:30but she did not let her courage break.
06:32She came back to Egypt and took control of her kingdom again.
06:36In the story, there is now the entry of another hero,
06:39whose name was Mark Antony.
06:44Mark Antony was a very close friend of Caesar.
06:48He was opposing Caesar's death,
06:50but he also could not escape the beauty of Cleopatra's beauty.
06:54Now Mark Antony and Cleopatra were together.
06:57Together with Antony, Cleopatra continued the story of her life,
07:01but every story has an end.
07:04Gaius Octavius was a close relative of Julius Caesar and was a legal heir.
07:12After Caesar's death, the entire Roman Empire took it in their hands.
07:16He was called Augustus Caesar in the whole of Rome.
07:20He considered Cleopatra and Antony his enemies.
07:23After a while, Antony and Cleopatra's army was defeated in the Battle of Actium.
07:28Antony took his own life due to the shame of this defeat.
07:34Now Cleopatra was alone again,
07:36and she was afraid of being imprisoned,
07:40which she could not bear.
07:42Cleopatra decided that her life would end with her will.
07:46She kept a poisonous snake in her palace room
07:50and bit the snake on her chest with her own hands,
07:54which led to her death.
07:56When she died, she was only 39 years old.
08:14So friends, this was the life of Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, full of ups and downs.
