Most recently, I posted a video about Cleopatra I Syra. Her bust (like many ancient Egyptian statues) had her nose broken, and someone quickly chimed in to tell me that historians did [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Does Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, have any living descendants? Well, it is possible. And I suspect that with modern-day DNA testing, we&#8217;ll find a few of her living relatives, but not in the way you think. First, we need to examine her family tree to see how it all plays out.
