What country did Cleopatra rule?
Correct answer: Egypt
CashmerePhantasm2411
IrascibleRebel738, Yes. I agree. Saying she was not Egyptian is like saying that someone whose ancestors came from another country but who is born in America is not American. To hold that rationale one will have to say that the only "Americans" are Native Americans.

She had Greek ancestry but she was born in Alexandria Egypt.. so the answer is Egypt
Rachel
SanTa75, she did not come from Greece. She had Greek ancestry, but was born in Egypt. That makes her Egyptian by birth right.

Player GayleP, It's Elizabeth Taylor in costume for her starring role in the movie "Cleopatra". Most people would immediately get the connection, but it's true that Elizabeth Taylor probably looked nothing like the real Cleopatra.

FaithfulReader, this is Nefertiti’s photo and not cleopatra!!!

Her dynasty was macedonian and i thought that was what the question reffered to. It could use a bit of rephrasing.
Player #Navylass
The picture at the top is Nefertiti not Cleopatra 😊
Olgi
Just to be correct,Nefertiti is shown on the picture!
Player #10628065
That's a bust of Queen Nefertiti, not Cleopatra. I did not know about her Greek ancestry.
Player #1187003
She traced her family to Greece and spoke Greek. She was born in Egypt, however.

There are many men who find stimulating conversation with a woman a lot more appealing than just staring at a pretty face. Even with all the plastic surgery in the world, beauty doesn't last forever. A person, male or female, who can hold their end of a good conversation, is incredibly attractive.

Cleopatra had sex with the king

CashmerePhantasm2411, the first Americans came over from Europe by way of the Bering Straight. so, we're all from across the pond, potentially.

CompleteLord80214, sold Egyptians, millions of Euros spent from greece to spread that Cleopatra was greek! no nation do that, thats why they bancrupted 10 years ago and wanted to Exit EU. Shame in greece!
Rosie
IrascibleRebel738, she was Greek not Egyptian. My uncle was born in Japan so does that make him Japanese? No, it doesn’t, because his parents were American.

Player #2566192, Like greeks erased Albania history and stole from them all the mitology of Homer "Yliada", " Troy" = Troj (Albanian) Land ( English), Aphrodita=Afrondita (The day is coming) Alexander the great spoke Ilyrian and born in ancient Macedonia or now Albania. Check the GERMAN historian FALLMERAJER what says about greeks they never existed its all distorted..

Egypt has the most interesting history.I remember the days studying the past of Egypt.

Player #156470, She ruled Egypt. Simple enough.

CashmerePhantasm2411, Look at the name of the city. Alexandria was named for Alexander the Great who conquered the known world (except China). He is the one who put Greek rulers in place of Egyptian pharoahs. Cleopatra was the last of the Greek rulers before the Romans took over. Remember Antony and Cleopatra...?

Tito Toy 61, America is a continent. The USA is one country in that continent. So yes, because the leader of Canada does speak French, but he also speaks English and that's just in North America. in central America their leader speaks Spanish and in South America they speak Portuguese, and Spanish. In the United States English is predominant but that almost wasn't so. It could have just as easily been Spanish or German, not something that is talked about much
sid
The question is "What country did Cleopatra rule?". Whatever her origin, she ruled Egypt, not Greece
DRon
Player #2566192, umm, yes you would; the fact that he was born in China makes him Chinese by birth. However, he wouldn't be an ethnic Chinese.
