Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. She spoke 9 languages. She knew the language of Ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her dynasty. Apart from this, she knew Greek and the languages of the Parthians, Hebrews, Medes, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians and Arabs. With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, she studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics, and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time.
Cleopatra spent a lot of time in a kind of ancient laboratory. She wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all her books were destroyed in the fire of the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. The famous physicist Galen studied her work, and was able to transcribe some of the recipes devised by Cleopatra. One of these remedies, which Galen also recommended to her patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra's books also included beauty tips, but none of them have come down to us.
The queen of Egypt was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. Her influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity. She, without a doubt, is a unique figure in the history of humanity.

No hit in 5 years, Jamie watching her every move, K Fed demanding more child support, Larry threatening her to do another residency, budget was $50... she had ONE chance.
FREEDOM RINGS: 104-year-old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli, who fought at Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge, wowed the crowd by performing the National Anthem on his saxophone at a New York Islanders game.
Critelli, a staff sergeant who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a child, spent 151 days in combat during World War II, earning three Bronze Stars.
On this day ,look around Trump.
You may have won the election in 2024 ("may" have) but you did not win America.
This is the day we've warned you about.
Today you lose.
Tomorrow you will be erased.
Every hideous act you've taken will be removed and discarded.
Your legacy will be only that you existed and tried to terrorize a country of the free minded to your will.
You're special brand of meanness and mocking end.
You've lost.
You're just a footnote to hatred and ignorance.
You will be ridiculed for all eternity.
Ineffective and petty and ignorant beyond compare.
Your name will become coupled with profanity.
Your family will never outlive the curse of their name.
Enjoy your birthday.
Eat your chocolate cake.
You'll soon pull all of the Earth over yourself to hide.
Didn't work for Faust.
No Kings.
You're finished.

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
@jk_rowling All JK Rowling did was stand up for women and she's been vilified beyond belief for this. Weatherspoons should hang their heads in shame for being so petty and divisive.
Standing up for womens rights is not evil!
