This anciently crafted Tharb Aworan masterpiece is inspired by the brilliant African Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII who reigned over Egypt from 51-30 BC.
The influence and impact of Cleopatra VII are unparalleled. This Egyptian queen was not only multilingually fluent (commanding 7 languages), but also politically
savvy & exotically beautiful, emerging from the Ptolomaic lineage, who were closely affiliated with Alexander the Great. This queen commanded the rule of the most influential African nations on Earth. Her intellect politically influenced world and Roman leaders, including Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Most notable was Cleopatra's admonishment of Julius Caesar for the partial burning of Egpyt's ancient libraries. She was ahead of her time, recognizing in ancient times the futility of attempting to destroy human thoughts and ideas. Her foresight is in strong contrast to the book burning witnessed in Nazi Germany during WWII and the re-emergence of book banning in the 21st century, prominently carried out in states like Florida within the United States. Cleopatra's reign reflects another incredible example of extraordinary African contributions of Women to world history, geopolitics and human advancement.
