What contributions did queen Cleopatra make?

About the only positive contribution Cleopatra made to the world was her embellishment of the great Library at Alexandria. If one takes an objective look at her reign, it's very difficult to find anything that did not serve to enhance Cleopatra herself. However in the realm of myth and misconception, she was/is tops.

There are all sorts of "Cleopatra Credits" that are preposterous. All Cleopatra was, was a queen, doing the best she could, using any means possible, to preserve her country and her dynasty.

The Queen Cleopatra I will be telling you about here is the most famous one, as there were many Cleopatras in the history of ancient Egypt. All of them were descendants of Greeks and Macedonians; they were not Egyptians by blood. This one was born to Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra V in approximately 70 BC, and she was given the title Cleopatra VII.

During the Ptolemaic dynasty pretty much all the kings and queens were called Ptolemy and Cleopatra. A bit confusing if you want to go in depth, but for now we'll just focus on the most famous of them all - THE Cleopatra. In his book, "The Art of Seduction", Graham Greene describes Queen Cleopatra as the most famous seductress in history.

In fact, he credits her with being one of the founders of this method of gaining power in the world of men. She was also, by far, the most successful - gaining and controlling an entire empire with her charms and wit.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
