You are maybe 3,000 to 4000 years off. During 65 B.C to 90 B.C. the
Ptolemy era had ended not that long ago. He was a general of
Alexander the Great, and Egypt is far older than that. By the way
Cleopatra is a Greek or Macedonian name. Alexander's sister was named
Cleopatra, the last wife of Philip was named Cleopatra, it was a
common name. Most people think it is Egyptian. It's not. Take your
first post and go to Google, but books are the best. Go to Barnes and
Noble and you will find hundreds of books on Egypt. Ken Hogan
