Right now there is a big discussion about Gal Gadot set to portrait Egyptian Queen Cleopatra in yet another remake of the famous saga once brought to life by Liz Taylor and Richard Burton.
Again, the ancestry of the Queen is up for debate and looking at Twitter, more confusion is being added.
Someone claimed she must have been R1b like King Tut. First of all, R1b is y-DNA not carried by females. Secondly, we are talking about completely different dynasties unrelated.
And thirdly, she was from the Ptolemaic dynasty which was Greek/Macedonian.
According to Geni.com, Cleopatra is my 72nd Grandmother and I am B-.
my 72nd Great Grandmother, Queen Cleopatra.
Cleopatra II, Queen of Egypt is your 72nd great grandmother.

I love your tree. From Cleopatra and Isaac the Great
all the way down to
John, the Immigrant
and Molly Griswold. 🙂
The “famous one” is VII. Cleo III was her great-grandmother. Tryphaena’s brother was her grandfather.
That’s pretty cool! I’m B negative as well…no idea other than Vikings who could be related. I have read articles and have watched shows suggesting Egyptians may have been RH negative blood types…Mummies from Egypt ( did not hear about Cleopatra) but Ramses I believe had red hair…The images had blue eyes…The Egyptians used Lapis lazuli. A blue stone to color the eyes of the Ancient Egyptians sarcophagus, and wall paintings…
Greek Macedonian, I think. Was she not some relation to Alexander the Great as well? Some of her children may also have been part Italian since she had relations with both Julius Caesar and Marc Antony.
Interesting. I will look it up.
We’re mostly all mutts after all. It doesn’t really matter. We still need to treat EVERYONE as fellow human beings or we are doomed.
Keep well everyone!

speaking of ptolemy those maps are pretty fascinating can I please see a movie about that
Me, too. Let’s start with this: Do people know that Alexander the Great was a Pharao of Egypt?
