"Cleopatra was also Nubian too" This is incorrect. Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek. The Ptolemies ruled Egypt after the death of Alexander of Macedon. Ptolemy I: The king of Egypt who founded the Macedonian dynasty in Egypt; a close friend and general of Alexander the Great who took charge of Egypt after Alexander died (circa 367-285 BC) Ptolemy II: Son of Ptolemy I and king of Egypt who was said to be responsible for the Septuagint (circa 309-247 BC)
