Egypt is not here for the Black actress Netflix cast in their Queen Cleopatra doc and will be making their own version that highlights her "light skin."

Netflix has been accused of ‘woke’ casting in defiance of historians agreeing that Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek.

The opposing documentary’s announcement comes amid an ongoing debate over the iconic queen’s racial background.

The director has also spoken out in defense of the show's casting of a Black woman as the iconic queen.

An Egyptian archaeologist on Wednesday released a documentary on the life of Cleopatra, the same day Netflix began streaming a controversial production depicting the ancient queen as black.
