Two studies facing each other on a topic that still opens up debate, despite all the studies that have been done and this is the issue of Cleopatra’s origin. These studies are strongly opposed because history has not yet been told and the facts are on the table, and everyone takes what they think it is, but let’s get more into the writings.
The first is a study published in the Daily Caller organized by the Max Planck Institute and opposite it is the writing of the Albanian researcher Fahri Xharra.
First, the study conducted by the institute’s scientists included more than 151 mummies, which were subjected to genetic residue testing, from which they managed to find mitochondrial genomes in only 90 individuals.
This study concludes that the Egyptian kings and the entire royal family did not have a strong blood connection with Africa. On the contrary, they were very closely related to the Levantine Nelotic, Anatolian and European populations.
Wolfgang Haak, who was also the leader of the studies, even said that the genetics of the Egyptian people have changed in the last 1500 years and almost do not resemble the time of the Pharaohs.
“This suggests to us that the increase in the Sub-Saharan African gene flowed through Egypt, but this happened in the last 1500 years and not before,” Haak said.
Despite all the efforts of Afrocentric researchers to show that the bloodline of the Pharaohs was African, these studies show quite the opposite, and this is not even as shocking a fact as the one where it is said that the Pharaoh of Egypt herself, Cleopatra, was Greek, that is, with bloodline from the Hellenes.
And in this part, researcher Fahri Xharra strongly disagrees.
Regarding the studies that the Egyptian Pharaohs and their bloodline were not African, there is no counterargument, the opinions are of the same vein, but it is Cleopatra who confuses things once again.
Just as she confused men in her time, who died just to see her, today she confuses researchers with her ancestry.
Xharra in his writing “Cleopatra, daughter of our ancestors” says that Cleopatra’s ancestry was neither Egyptian, nor African, nor of any other nationality, except Macedonian, since her entire family descended from one of the 12 generals of Alexander the Great, who after his death had divided the kingdom between them.
Cleopatra was born in 69 BC (69–30 BC) and was the daughter of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII, who belonged to this lineage. After the death of Leka the Great, Ptolemy I in 323 BC took over the reins of the kings that lasted for nearly three centuries.
Like every royal family in the past, the Ptolemies also married within their family, thus preserving the “purity of pure blood”. Cleopatra’s ten ancestors preserved the family line by marrying close cousins.
Roman propaganda linked the success of her political weapon to her beauty, using her body for victory, but records show that she spoke ten languages and was educated in mathematics, philosophy, oratory and astronomy.
“In this case, it should also be emphasized that she was not Greek, but Macedonian of Alexander the Great’s lineage,” writes Xharra
