Netflix' Cleopatra, and the deliberate, insidious reimagining of history

#Ancient #Egypt #AfricanQueens

Not six months after Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse, Netflix are with Jada Pinkett Smith’s Cleopatra back with a new documentary series that has the archeological community in uproar. But that’s where similarities between the two end, because the nature of the issues couldn't be more dissimilar.

In this editorial, @AndreEinherjar will begin by placing this series into its proper context, before going through the directors tacit admission of what they are trying to do here, the backlash, and why that backlash doesn’t matter.
