What I mainly recall about Cleopatra from college history classes is that she was Greek. She was part of the Macedonian-Greek Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great (who had taken over Egypt and so many other places that just seeing his statue supposedly made Julius Caesar cry in envy ;) - (Ethnicity of Cleopatra).
