As one of the rulers of ancient Egypt, Queen Cleopatra s reign remains relatively popular even 2,000 years later. Her story has transcended time, and she is the subject of an upcoming Netflix documentary. The film s executives and producers decided to cast Adele James, a black actress, in the titular role. It caused a global uproar because, despite many revisionist historians advocating a left-wing agenda, Cleopatra did not have black skin. So it was only natural that the Egyptian government commented, echoing previous sentiments about Cleopatra s skin color.
