Hawass, who is Egypt’s most recognizable archaeologist, decried the decision by Netflix to portray Cleopatra as being of black descent, pointing out that the historical figure “was Greek”.

I have learned that a Macedonian Dynasty ruled Egypt for a time, Cleopatra was part of that dynasty and she descended from one of Alexandra’s general’s.

At least they still portrayed her as a female... (But it's probably only a matter of time...)

Won't happen. It's a girl power thing. They don't dare mess with that.

Ha, ha. Happening already. I almost don't know which team to barrack for - the Feminists, for being right for once (albeit via inconsistency to their core beliefs), or the Transgenders, for at least being consistent in their beliefs of "equality" (despite being wrong).

I'd get out the popcorn, but it's probably not good for one's health. :)

I recommend cheetos. If you're going to eat something bad for you, might as well be something incredibly delicious.
