Cleopatra was the last queen of Egypt, an icon of popular culture and one of the most elusive yet significant female figures in history. But who was the woman behind the prolific image? In an all-new Science Channel special, CLEOPATRA: SEX, LIES AND SECRETS, experts seek out the latest groundbreaking archaeological research to unravel the mystery behind this elusive Egyptian queen. The 2-hour special premieres Sunday, June 21 at 8 pm ET/PT on Science Channel. By the time of her birth his empire had been reduced to a shadow of its former self, while the ruling class was prone to bitter in-fighting.

Vivien Leigh is the star of the film and plays Cleopatra. She was very much not a teenager at the time of the film’s recording, but Pascal was able to capitalize on her youthful face and previous reputation to push his interpretation of Cleopatra. Several years prior to the release of Caesar and Cleopatra, Vivien Leigh played Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind. This made her very well known and perceived in the public eye often as a juvenile, girl-next-door actress. Her previously-established image played very well into Pascal’s vision for the new Cleopatra.I was seized with love for Cleopatra and unduly delighted with the beauty of her body beyond what is fitting for the male mind. I was softened by her blandishments and nevertheless relaxed for her the restraints of marriage. The result was that she, despis-ing me and my fear of the law, stained herself with adultery, and by no means moder-ately.” Ich kann mich noch gut an unsere Begegnung in Rom erinnern, Kleopatra. Du warst noch ein kleines Mädchen, aber hast mich schon damals mit diesen großen, wissbegierigen Augen angeschaut." Die Kurzgeschichten dieser Sammlung beleuchten Episoden aus dem Leben von Caesar und Kleopatra vor und nach ihrem berühmten Treffen in Alexandria. Die Kapitel sind als Ergänzungen zu "Kleopatra – Das Lied der Pharaonen" entstanden und zeigen die Perspektive der Prinzessinnen Arsinoe und Berenike, der Hofdame Charmion, des Ministers Potheinos, sowie des Hohepriesters Psen-Ptah und seiner Gemahlin Tay-Imhotep. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch Oneshots aus der Sicht von Julius Caesar und Kleopatra, die in dieser Form nicht im Buch vorkommen. Series In Egypt, on the edge of the Nile delta, a massive archaeological dig is underway as experts search for the tomb of Egypt’s most famous pharaoh. A new theory about Cleopatra’s burial ground introduced by archaeologist Dr. Kathleen Martinez, suggests her tomb may be found in a place known as Taposiris Magna. Built over 2,000 years ago, the grounds of Taposiris Magna are honeycombed with hidden passages and tombs. When experts astonishingly uncover an undisturbed tomb decorated in gold leaf, it could be the answer to the 2,000-year-old mystery of Cleopatra’s final resting place. Throughout history, western Europeans, including the ancient Romans, have envisioned so-called “eastern” lands as places of sensual delights ruled by hypersexual despots. The image of Cleopatra as a hypersexual eastern queen is therefore part of an ancient and ingrained Orientalist fantasy.

Surviving evidence about the queen has been hotly debated throughout history, explaining in part why her image is so provocative. Her complex narrative was left in the hands of her conquerors – the Romans – so that over time her reputation as a diligent and cunning diplomat was replaced with simplified representations of her as a devious woman. As a result, Caesar seized the Egyptian capital and instilled himself as arbiter between the opposing claims of Cleopatra and Ptolemy XII to the Egyptian throne. With this, Cleopatra knew what she had to do, and began to form her devious plan.Octavian told her he'd keep her alive, but that was all he said. When she heard rumors that she'd be taken to Rome, she was horrified —she didn't want to be paraded around as a prisoner. Once again, she prepared to take her own life, and this time, she was successful. She died in August, 30 BC, at the age of 39, alongside two of her servants. The obsession with Cleopatra as a looker started much earlier than movies: it started in literature and drama. In his play Antony and Cleopatra, William Shakespeare indelibly etched the queen’s portrait with these words: Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale None of these stories have any kind of basis in the ancient sources, however. In fact, historically speaking, Cleopatra is only known for certain to have had sex with two men in her entire life: Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius. The popular image of Cleopatra as an insatiable nymphomaniac is ultimately rooted in a vicious Roman propaganda campaign to discredit her, but modern authors, filmmakers, video game developers, and internet factoid-mongers have taken it to a whole new level. Cleopatra first began her legendary love affair with the Roman general Mark Antony in 41 B.C. Their relationship had a political component—Cleopatra needed Antony to protect her crown and maintain Egypt’s independence, while Antony needed access to Egypt’s riches and resources—but they were also famously fond of each other’s company. According to ancient sources, they spent the winter of 41-40 B.C. living a life of leisure and excess in Egypt, and even formed their own drinking society known as the “Inimitable Livers.” The group engaged in nightly feasts and wine binges, and its members occasionally took part in elaborate games and contests. One of Antony and Cleopatra’s favorite activities supposedly involved wandering the streets of Alexandria in disguise and playing pranks on its residents. 8. She led a fleet in a naval battle.
