(This class has been rated among the top ten on the Google Search for Cleopatra) We'll follow the final 24 hours of the dramatic life of Cleopatra VII up to her death on August 10, 30 BCE. โ In the early morning hours, come along with Cleopatra as she remembers how she became queen at the age of 18, wresting the throne from the younger brother she was forced to marry. โ By noon, relive how she fell in love with the world's most powerful men - Julius Caesar of Rome, followed by her...
Students will learn:
1. How a woman took the throne of ancient Egypt, then the most
powerful nation on earth, and ruled it for 20 years.
2. Why she is still respected as one of the most astute and strategic
rulers of the ancient world, attracting the most powerful men of the
time to her side.
3. Why the capital of Alexandria, Egypt, became the most cosmopolitan
city of the Middle East.
4. How Cleopatra's death impacted the ancient world.
5. What it's like to die by a snake bite (this information has been
requested by some students).I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. And Iโve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours. I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope I see you soon for a class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.

Please Note: I do not accept learners under 13 years old for this class. Thanks for your understanding. When discussing Cleopatra, we will be talking about her suicide and the theories about if she really died by a snake bite or some other method. We will also talk about the fact that she was the lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony, bearing children out of marriage. There is a video death scene of Cleopatra being bitten by a snake. If a child is afraid of snakes, he/she/they should not see it.
There are several websites on ancient Egyptian rulers and a lot of information on Cleopatra. I will also use snippets from two videos, showing Cleopatra's grand entrance into Rome and the death scene of Cleopatra with the snake. One clip stars Elizabeth Taylor in the extravagant film of 1963 called "Cleopatra."
