To which dynasty did Cleopatra belong?
Cleopatra VII Philopator was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, nominally survived as pharaoh by her son Caesarion. She was also a diplomat, naval commander, polyglot, and medical author. As a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder, Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great.
After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the Hellenistic period that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Her native language was Koine Greek and she was the first Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language.

I think I was an Egyptian in my previous life. I like everything Egyptian. Of course I was probably a slave, not Cleopatra.

Carroll Price, the claims that you make arose in the late 19th and 20th centuries. They came from false claims used to justify slavery in the US and have long since been proved totally without scientific basis.

"Born circa 69 B.C., Cleopatra VII was part of the Macedonian dynasty that took over rule of Egypt in the late 4th century B.C. During her reign, she forged political alliances and became romantically involved with Roman military leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, until her death in 30 B.C."

Carroll Price, So the Chinese, Arabs, Mayans, to name but three, never had advanced civilisations?! Nonsense, as is the suggestion that Greeks and Egyptians came from Northern Europe!

I had a past life regression and was told I was an Egyptian princess which is funny because as a teenager I was always wearing the blue eyeshadow black eyeliner with the wings and I also have an arm full of Egyptian tattoos.
