Cleopatra was the queen of ancient Egypt many years ago. She was born in 69 B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt and died in 30 B.C. in Alexandria. She is famous for her love affairs with Mark Anthony and Julius Caesar. She is also famous for her courageous actions in defending her kingdom. It must have been real hard being pharaoh.
Cleopatra had a very big family. Cleopatra had two older sisters and one younger sister. She also had two younger brothers. Her family was rich because they were royalty. Even though she was rich, she was very naughty. She had a very good family. Cleopatra
Grew up in Alexandria and she didn’t go to school. Cleopatra first married her brother, Ptolemy XII, (until he committed suicide.) Then she married her other younger brother, Ptolemy XIV until he died from a sickness. A couple years later she fell in love with Rome’s brilliant military leader Julius Caesar. In the year 44 B.C Julius Caesar was assassinated. Cleopatra’s Last husband was Mark Anthony.
Cleopatra was 18 when she became pharaoh. What motivated her was the fact that she had to become queen. She was proud to be queen because she controlled the whole country.
Probably what we can learn mostly from Cleopatra is to always be strong and defend your loved ones. Also that we can become friends with enemies.
Cleopatra died by making an asp bite her. She killed her self because she heard that Mark Anthony
was dead. But what she didn’t know was that Anthony was dead because someone had told him that Cleopatra was dead.
