If you have never had the chance to research Cleopatra VII, and her natural born ethnicity, I highly recommend that you do. There is so much controversy over weather she is black, white, Egyptian, Greek, Macedonian or African that it’s pure comedy, and very confusing trying to understand the truth.
Of course, a large proportion of people are quick to disassociate Cleopatra from being black. Many would insist that she’s Egyptian or Caucasian. However, the majority believe she is a mixture of Egyptian and African. From what I could put together on my own, I would have to go along with the majority and say she is black with brown skin. Obviously no one is for certain and probably never will be.
One thing we do know is Cleopatra is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in history. Until recently that is. Archaeologists have discovered a 2,000 year old coin hidden in a bank vault which supposedly shows her ugly truth.
Bottom Line: Cleopatra is known for her beautiful skin. It’s been said that she preserved her renowned beauty by bathing in fresh milk from goats and horses.
The soothing and moisturizing qualities of goat milk have made it a revered cosmetic ingredient for centuries, and especially useful for delicate or damaged skin. The ancient Greeks and Romans used milk products as treatments for skin injuries. Butter was created specifically for use on burned skin and as a coating for glossing one’s hair! In the nineteenth century, Europe had “whey” (the watery part of milk that separates from the curd in cheese making) spas which were sought by people looking for healing skin therapies.
From ancient times until today, milk and milk products have been used as an excellent source of nutrition and for medicinal and cosmetic purposes.
