History of "CLEOPATRA"
Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. He speaks 9 languages. He knew the Ancient Egyptian language and had learned to read hieroglyphs, a unique case in his dynasty. In addition, he knew Greek and the languages of his birth, Hebrew, Medos, Troglodytes, Syriac, Ethiopic and Arabic.
With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to him. Apart from languages, he studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics and other scientific disciplines. He tried to access all the knowledge of his time.
Cleopatra spent much of her time in a kind of ancient laboratory. Wrote several works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all his books were destroyed in the fire of the Great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. C. The famous physicist Galeno studied his work, and was able to write down several recipes created by Cleopatra.
One treatment that Galeno also recommends to his patients is a special cream that can help bald men get their hair back. Cleopatra's books also contained beauty tips, but none of them have reached us.
The Egyptian queen was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages, she had access to many papyri that are lost today. Its influence on science and medicine was well known in the first centuries of Christianity. Certainly a unique figure in human history.
