She did help her brother when he was on the throne but turned on him. She wanted it for herself. She had her sister murdered too. She was relentless. You are a lot more accurate than you think. Most of her servants were gay. You are good. I like that you don't do research. She really hated her sister too.
Are you talking about Martinez ? A french archeologist youtuber actually debunked her, there is not much subtance to her research. If you're just talking about that phrase then sorry haha
Honestly, not only did you pick up on her very accurately in the beginning but you also nailed just how ruthless her entire family ( the Ptolemies ) were and how they operated. Some of her biggest female rivals were actually her sisters ( Berenice & Arsinoe ) but in particular, Arsinoe, who she later had killed. Before she came to power completely on own, she had to share the throne with both her father and brothers. She had a relationship and son with Julius Caesar but the man you were talking about as her love that she "plucked" was probably Mark Antony who she lowkey got to betray Rome for her. He was also married as well but ousted his wife and married Cleopatra instead. Their love was the epitome of forbidden. The theory is that her tomb was near the harbor of Alexandria which is now underwater because of natural disasters. A lot of the ancient geography there has changed since her time just do to mother nature. Mark Antony and Cleopatra were buried together according to legend and even if they weren't, Cleopatra asked that they be. The things you talked about her holding in her hands could maybe be the Crook and Flail held by rulers? The magical cursey vibes you picked up were legit too. She identified herself as the living embodiment of the Egyptian goddess, Isis, who was literally goddess of magic. It makes sense there'd be some magic and curses involved. I'm not surprised how strongly you picked up on it! Super impressed with all of this information given you didn't do any research!! I love your videos so much and have been watching awhile!! Please do more historical figure or historical mystery readings!! This was amazing!! Thank you so much!! Bless!! ❤
There has been an ongoing excavation at TapOsiris Magna near Alexandria. The team is led by Dr Kathleen Martinez, who believes the temple to be the burial site. In 2023 a tunnel was found 'During ongoing excavations and exploration of the temple, Kathleen Martinez of the University of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and colleagues uncovered the structure 13 meters (43 feet) below the ground. The 2-meter tall tunnel had been hewn through an incredible 1,305 meters (4,281 feet) of sandstone.' This may be the tunnel referred to. It is described as a 'geometric miracle. tunnel.'
@@Lofilifer1 That's probably very likely considering her character, ngl. I think she was always attracted to him but she had a pattern of using her lovers for political power. It makes sense to think that perhaps their love was something that developed later.
@@Lofilifer1 I believe you are right. I think that apart from being fiercely ambitious, Cleopatra was also a survivor. When that was no longer feasible she took the ultimate control in ending her own life. Did she love Marc Antony? In my opinion, no.
"Cleopatra wasn't a girl's girl". Definitely not. She was Caesar's mistress and had Marc Antony execute her younger sister. She was blood-thirsty, egocentric pick-me, and that's why she's so interesting.
Of course they did, if it wasn't Greek or roman gays, there was eunuch which were male servants who were submissive to rulers and castrated so they wouldn't rape the women.
And no doubt it’s that person (whoever he might be) is the underdog mentioned in the reading will be the one to discover her tomb since it’s obvious he’s the one Cleo has chosen. Sorry Kathleen Martinez, but her majesty has already picked her chosen one.
@@giupinkfairy Not sure. Probably. But he definitely betrayed Caesar. And derived that famous but shortened phrase "E tu Brutus". When Anthony had helped or had a hand in killing him.
That and he was married to the sister of Octavian who became Cesar Augustus and he was not happy about the affair thus did a smear campaign against them.
For some context Cleopatra was married to two her brothers who was pharaoh as co-rulers (it was common for incest to occur in the Egyptian royal family) and she went to civil war with one of them her for power overthrowing him for sole power of Egypt. Before actually becoming official queen cleopatra of Egypt though her younger brother as co-ruler later rumored to be actually killed by Cleopatra via poisoning on her order. By the topic of her lovers, she met Caesar and hooked up (which disputed having his kid as well) but they never married and Mark Anthony (who she also married) I think Mark was her true love and had twins with him. Also the underground system, Egyptians built tombs underground, also I should mention she did not like her sister who died during her reign who tried to assassinate her then cleopatra ends up exiling then later killing her sister, but it’s the closest thing I can think of whom she didn’t like that was a female unless it’s a well known historical woman. It’s also historically known tombs to have traps to protect the tomb from trespassers. It was also said that Cleopatra died with her two female servants to watch over her body after she died before killing themselves as well by poison. I absolutely loved this reading, Cleopatra has always been my favorite story. Who knows maybe it’s going to be a gay man that finds the tomb that’s a loophole to avoid a curse 😂
@@dollyllama816 Yes they were co rulers but Cleopatra wasn’t the sole queen of Egypt, her second brother died of poisoning most likely upon Cleopatra’s orders, I forgot that she had two brothers with the same name, but yes the one I was referring to was drowned by attempting flee upon being attacked by both Caesar and Cleopatra’s forces. For the gay statement I can’t find any evidence on that either than he was close to a general and tutor but that as in means consul not lovers.
Given Ant’s reading and this synopsis, I don’t understand some of the fan girl comments of Cleopatra. He’s basically describing a power hungry psycho/sociopath who was mean spirited to the very end.
@@pennPi Yeah, as much I love learning about Cleopatra and her story I don’t idolize her nor idolize any historical figure for that matter especially someone who rules a country with an iron fist yes she might’ve done great things for her people doesn’t she was a morally good person. I get what you mean and I agree it’s not just Cleopatra but other famous women historical figures that define as “girl boss” material the girl’s girl. like Queen Elizabeth who wasn’t this ahead of her time as anyone thinks nor a great person she massacre thousands of Catholics along with her sister who murdered hundreds of Protestants. Before people admire this person learn from historians and reading material not have a pop culture outlook on it.
She was madly in love with Mark Anthony's and wanted him life and in death. People didn't think he gave her great advice and led her military into a losing battle.
Historian and admirer here at your service! She was born in a dynasty were women were very liberated and became the co-regents of their husband-brothers: actual, legal co-regents, not a question of influence. Behind the scenes before throne - she was her fathers favorite; he appointed her his successor because of that, and she may have been his co-ruler before she succeeded him. When she succeeded him, she officially became the co-ruler of her brother; they both ruled, though in reality she had all the power (she was older). She killed her first brother when her tried to depose her and married her younger brother; he was by all accounts very submissive to her (he was very young). He died. Then came Ceasar, and he was certainly not submissive. It was political. Anthony - could he have been submissive to her in private? It would not suprise me. But I do think she really loved him. I don't know who she could have "plucked" controversially, but it could have been a courtier - we don't know the names of most of them. She could have taken a lover we don't know about. She would have had many servants and officials history no longer know about. Yes, her toom was alongside Anthony's. They were burried together. He was not king (except by being married to her). There was an earthquake that made part of the city - were her palace were - to sink in the sea. Yes she was worshipped after death - the rulers of her dynasty were seen as gods after death. There was an underground system - the rulers of her dynasty were likely burried in tunnels, but we have not found any of them. Woman who she disliked who tried to dethrone her - her sister Arsinoe IV tried to depose her, and she had her killed. Her grave is not found either. Efeminate men - nothing strange with that at all, her court was Greek - she was an ethnic Greek, her court was Greek - and hbtq people were very accepted in Greek culture. There you go - you said you were going to read answers to your questions by a historian, so here you are! (loved the video!)
@@wendybond2848 Believe it or not; but not all historians have the English language as their native language, and I doubt it would be easy for you to spell eqvivalent word correctly in my language. I am writing from Scandinavia, of course there are going to be spelling mistakes, haha. And it may not be important to me if you believe my qualifications, when I am writing on my free time and not because I want you to employ me. Why not read about hese things yourself? It is so easy to verify online with all digitalized scholarly books available, and then you don't have to trust me for it. I am on my day off, listening to a youtuber I enjoy. Have a lovely day.
This is probably a silly question, but what do the archeologists do to prevent the curses or whatever coming at them at these kings/queens tombs? I imagine awful stuff like in The Mummy series 😭
@Lunearien Most archeologists don't believe in curses. The concept of curses being real came about full force after finding king Tut's tomb and a number of the people who participated d!eing shortly after. But until then archeologists of low moral character would essentially tomb rob and sell artifacts and even the mummies themselves. The rich who would have unwrapping parties, pharmacies would sell parts believing in their medicinal qualities (yes I mean cannibalism) or even painters who wanted a particular shading technique would use the color mummy brown ( you cant make this up) Also, you wouldn't believe how many mummies and artifacts can be accessible by just a bit of digging in the right locations even today( usually they aren't people who were royal). However, for the superstitious, you could always bring a priest of sorts to give protection or "bless" the area.
@@Ashley-vs8nu Human's greed really have no boundary eh... Also good to know at least there's not much damage to the living people-I wonder if it got something to do with their scepticism. Thanks for sharing! 🍻✨️
Ant it says the archiologist Kathleen discovered tunnles and part of it is submerged in water which was caused by several eathquakes!!!! You were exactly right 😮
Would love a King Arthur reading, and the characters of Morrigan, Guinevere, Lancelot, his mom and day, round table ~ I’m obsessed. Love this reading BTW
She was in love with Marc Anthony and he was married but they loved each other prior and continued to see each other once he married. She did help him when he went to war with Octavian. She married her brothers because it was tradition. She then killed herself after Marc killed himself. She asked Octavian to be buried with Marc but it’s rumored if Octavian listen to her request it wouldn’t be a good move for him but according to your reading it looks like he did respect her wishes. The woman she despise is her sister that tried to dethrone her and the two gay men could be her maids that died with her in form of suicide.
She didn’t ask Octavian, she killed herself to escape Octavian. He was threatening to make her prisoner and execute her so to avoid the humiliation she killed herself and then Octavian killed her son. Marc Anthony wasn’t killed, for he killed himself with his own sword. Because Octavian had won the war between them
@@UnsaintedNobody Cleo sent a note to Octavian with that request before she killed herself AND it was more honorable to kill herself then be killed. And yes Marc killed himself wrote it wrong
She proclaimed herself after the Goddess Isis, so she must have thought highly of her mother role. There's a lot of killer queens in Egyptian mythology too, but she picked the clever and kind mother queen for herself.
Mark Anthony (3rd husband). After suffering a great defeat from upcoming ruler Octavian, he killed himself. Cleopatra heartbroken, and not to be taken back to Rome as some winning trophy to Octavian, she and her team set up a tunnel to where no one can reach their bodies, as she proceed to poison herself died next to Anthony, along with her mistresses.
Ant you're not being crazy 😇the curse thing is true and very common. A lot of pharaohs would put curses on their tombs & treasures so people wouldn't disturb them when they were going to the afterlife. Many scholars and Archaeologists have also had weird paranormal experiences as well due to not believing in it at times. such as Weird plagues/diseases, freak accidents, bug infestations etc.
Marc Antony was married when she met him ..he had 4 wives before Cleopatra and his current wife was for political reasons in Roman society, so he was probably deemed forbidden to marry Cleopatra-and she was forbidden to marry a commoner...he had 8 children in his life ,sounds alot like Trump
Cleopatra was a magnificent ruler for her time and beyond. A lot of the slander about her is a result of Rome being so incensed at her audacity and blatant power they couldn't stop talking about her (and bringing her down because how dare a woman). She was also a Ptolemy, a dynasty who didn't go a single generation without murdering multiple of their own family members to get to the top; it goes without saying she had to be the best schemer, manipulator, whatever word you choose to take power and keep it. She was married to her brother but he was uppity and tried to have her killed, but she was able to reach Caesar (the famous rolled carpet first-meeting) and convinced him to join her. (Hubby-Brother also killed Caesar's close friend/general which was the exact worst move). She and Caesar got together, she had a son and sailed to Rome to keep power then Caesar got murdered and she dipped back to Egypt before they could mob her. Badda bing badda boom, Marc Antony turns up and the rest is history. She was also incredibly rich and talented at negotiation and managed to keep Egypt out of Rome's hands despite the fact her father and before him had mortgaged Egypt to fund their petty little family wars/armies. When she died Egypt was fully incorporated into the Roman Empire. The Egyptian people did like her, she had their support and she was the only one of the Ptolemies to learn Egyptian, which was very important, as Egyptian riots were known to be royally deadly. Also yes, poetry and art has been a thing for humankind forever, and romance too. What a lovely reading about her tomb as well, spooky, intriguing, invigorating, I hope we do find it and treat the artifacts with the reverence they deserve. The f*ck you might be for her sister (see her brother trying sh*t, the whole family tried it) or Octavian (I would say that to Octavian for realsies).
Absolutely, but I'll always wonder if she was naturally like that or she just had to be because of the time period and kindness wasn't beneficial for her in a race for power.
@material-cheshirekhatter2413 I absolutely agree with you! I think she had no choice but to be ruthless to survive. She also used men to stay in power. I think the male he is talking about was Mark Antony.
Cleo was married to Mark Antony - a ruler of Rome. He left his wife to be with her. They had several children and when his army was defeated, they committed suicide together by Vipor bite. Like Romeo and Juliet!
That’s pretty false, Marc Anthony died on August 1st 30 bc at 53 years old, a civil war started between Marc Anthony, cleopatra and Octavian when Octavian declared war on them because he called them traders, Marc Anthony had been married to Octavian’s sister Octavia and had an affair with cleopatra which further strained their relationship. When Marc Anthony and Cleopatra lost the war, Marc Anthony Killed himself with his own sword. Cleopatra died on August 10th or August 12th at 39 when she was told that Octavian had a plan to make her a prisoner and execute her and then take over Egypt.. to avoid the humiliation, she had her servants kill themselves at her feet, and then she allowed a Deadly snake bite her on the breast which killed her. Octavian then went after her son Caesarian at 17 years old he was executed by Octavian
She was in love with Marc Anthony. Sounds like her tomb could be in the Valleys of the Kings as all the tombs there are basically underground tunnels. There are still tons of tombs to be discovered in that area. If her tomb is intact, it would be a bonanza for tourism in Egypt (they are still recovering from the pandemic). There is actually a tomb of a gay couple not far from the pyramids. They are the royal hairdressers. Their tomb was pretty fancy when I saw it in person. Officially they were brothers according to local islamic government but let’s just say it was pretty obvious they were husbands imo. 😅
Always forward. Always down. Never left or right. Also, I think she's "closer to the door" than people would think. Like people would walk right past the entrance to her tomb because they think it has to be further into the structure.
🎶 Cleopatra Coming At’cha’ah 🎶 It was Mark Anthony you saw as her lover Ant. Mark was the Roman general for Cesar and Mark betrayed Rome and Cesar to be with Cleopatra 💖
Ant you might not have known a lot about Cleopatra but you still slayed this reading - I think it’s my favourite out of all you’ve done!! Can you do more ancient Egyptian readings? I was fascinated hearing your take on this. We need more!! (pleaseeee) 💕✨
Cleopatra would be honored if you found her tomb Ant! she'll definitely adore you and like your sassy personality. that be the craziest vlog in UA-cam history. 😂❤
I really want to know what his personality was truly like and what he believed in but Ant would need to make a hugeee disclaimer in the intro to protect his channel
@@lilliesinthegard32 not sure if you will read my comment, but It’s even more interesting when you find out Jesus (allegedly) never wanted a religion in his name. Gnostic texts claim that Jesus did not believe the “God” in the Bible was benevolent or good, but a deceptive and evil entity merely posing as the true God. The God in the bible is a malicious demiurge called Yaldabaoth who trapped our souls in the earthly plane in order to enslave us and imprison our souls in flesh, demanding we worship it and deceiving us through Biblical text that it is the only God. The material plane is essentially hell, imprisoning the soul here through reincarnation and subjected to suffering, illness and death. We continue to reincarnate here until we “wake up” and realize that WE are divine, and that everyone and everything already IS God. This dimension is an illusion. The Gnostics compiled many omitted chapters from the Bible talking about this and as a result were hunted down by the Catholic church. I just wish more people knew about this
Mark Anthony and Julius Ceaser were married. Anthony left his wife and family for her. She traveled to Rome with Ceaser’s child and humiliated him in public. I’m sure Ceaser’s wife wasn’t happy either. In fact, this humiliation of Ceaser is what made her enemies with Ceaser’s family and Rome. This is what led to her downfall. The Egyptian people loved her and said she was the reincarnation of Isis. I think she was trying to form an alliance of Egypt and Rome by giving birth to Ceaser’a son to do so. We have to remember in her time this was probably one of the only ways for women to get power. I think she might have been buried by her father and the Ptolemy lineage. If I remember this correctly the sister she killed was supposed to be the Queen instead of her and the sister started it all by fearing that Cleo would kill her, plotted to kill Cleo. I think this was where the grudge started. She killed her brother, she married because she believed he was a weak leader and that he would let Rome take over. She is well known for her love of knowledge, and I am sure she had a great amount of knowledge of occult and herbs too. She created the library of Alexandria to share this knowledge to the world.
I've studied Cleopatra extensively. Some info to corroborate the reading and also correct some of the comments. Per Egyptian custom Cleopatra was married to her younger brother who was Pharaoh. He had two eunuchs and those two along with their sister Arsinoe convince the brother to turn on Cleopatra. They plan to kill her and have him marry Arsinoe. Cleopatra ended up getting Julius Caesar to back her and in the ensuing battle her brother died, and her sister was taken captive. Her sister was exiled rather than killed but Cleopatra did send assassins after her and had her killed so she could no longer be a threat. Cleopatra then married her youngest brother for their custom and continued her reign. Her younger brother died but the only people who think that she poisoned him were her detractors. She did have a relationship with Julius Caesar and had a child with him but they were never married because the Roman people would never accept a foreign wife or queen and Caesar was married already. After Julius Caesar was killed Marc Antony was put in charge of Egypt as essentially the Roman caretaker. He and Cleopatra started a relationship, he left his wife and married Cleopatra which really pissed off Rome and essentially led to him being exiled from Rome. He was known to be a very light-hearted and to really enjoy music and festivities. He was a great soldier but not the best leader and when Rome attacked Egypt his and Egypt's army lost. Mainly because Octavius and Rome had a brilliant general who just dominated the war between them. Regarding the reading, Cleopatra's tomb was supposed to be near Alexander the Great's tomb. She was also supposedly buried with Marc Antony who is killed when Rome invaded Egypt led by Octavius who became Augustus the first and was Julius Caesar's nephew. And if there was anyone that she would give a big FU to in her tomb it would be Octavius. In fact she killed herself when they lost the war with Rome because Octavius wanted to parade her around in Rome as his conquest and by killing herself she took that away from him and kept her dignity. It would also explain why any followers would have gone out of their way to try to hide her tomb and preserve it because after this Egypt really fell and they were under Roman control. Regarding the effeminate men, those would be eunuchs who are castrated men who were typically advisors in the court. So that's probably why they're giving a feminine energy. Doesn't necessarily mean they were gay but it is a possibility. Both Alexander's tomb and Cleopatra's tomb were lost, likely by rising sea levels and potential earthquakes that would have pushed that part of Egypt into the Mediterranean. Hopefully that had some clarity! Great reading!
Alexandria had several massive earthquakes. The archaeological layers of that time period is now under the water level, which is why it’s been so hard for any archaeological dig sites - as well as it being a major metropolitan city. So it makes sense her tomb being moved after major earthquake.
Eunuch..castrated human male. From remote antiquity, eunuchs were employed in the Middle East and in China in two main functions: as guards and servants in harems or other women's quarters, and as chamberlains to kings
Pretty please do a reading on Anne Boleyn 🙏🏻. There’s so much biased information. I’d love to know her real personality and feelings towards Henry VIII.
I've learned SO much about Tarot from watching you over the years. Now when you put a card down and it's TEA, before you say anything I'm like "uuhh ohhh!!!! ohh nooo!" 😹🫶 Thank you for sharing your gift.I really do get excited when you upload. 🩷🫶✨P.S. my Mom watches you now too! 🥰
Hey Love there is a woman named Kathleen Martinez who has been searching for Cleopatra's tomb. Google her name and it comes up. Maybe contact her because I have a feeling she will understand EXACTLY what you are talking about.
Your water sign poet is Julius Caesar (he’s born on July 12 or 13 100 BCE and was known to write poetry, but none of his works survived to modern day) and yeah he didn’t play her game, he had his own business in the Roman Empire he was more focused on. She eventually ended up with Marcus Antonius and they were together for 11 years had 3 kids and died together according to legend. Your cards and reading are pretty spot on. I love cleopatra documentaries and everything you’ve said has been said regarding her not being a girls girl, her lust for power, and she in fact advised her brother until she seized power from him. Lastly, if I remember my history correctly she either had her sister killed or exiled.
This is my favorite reading by you! I enjoyed it sooooo much!! Marc Anthony was the governor of Tarsus and my family is from Tarsus so the legend of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony was a staple of my childhood. It is sooooo good to listen to what these people used to be like outside of their myths. Can you please do a series of readings on historical personalities and what they were like? Or maybe the ancient civilizations? What really involved worshiping deities like the ancient Greek ones?? There were Eleusinian mysteries back then that no one to this day knows the details of. It would be freaking amazing!!!!
I clicked on this 13 seconds of my notification!!😂 I'm obsessed with ancient Egypt. You give so much of yourself to us, Ant! For years, you have brought so much love and positivity to people's hearts and minds. ✨️ Much love and appreciation to you always. 🩷🩷
Cleopatra was very close to her dad but she had to marry her little brother (9 yr old) when she was 16..then she got rid of him and she sat at the throne...She married Marc Anthony who was already married, he had to divorced his wife or something like that, and you’re right, they were really in love with e/a and she got soft and he got killed, it was basically like Romeo and Juliet, they had 3 children together
Your timing for so many of my hyper fixations is insane. I've been revisiting my obsession with Ancient Egypt and Ancient Atlantis (the Richat structure iykyk lol) recently and I am about to eat this UP
Could the effemiated males be Eunuchs, that protected and advised her? "Eunuchs, by way of self-castration, could become a part of the court of Assyrian and Egyptian rulers. In many cases, eunuchs were able to establish and cultivate very close relationships with the ruling family. In some situations, eunuchs would even become regents as the heir to the throne matured."
Pothinus was an Eunuch and regent for Ptolemy (cleopatras husband/brother) who is accused by Julius Ceasar of turning ptolemy against Cleopatra and starting the civil war between them. And killing Pompeii, presenting his head to Julius cesar which infuriated Julius. So he had Pothinus executed.
The only Eunuch I could find specifically mentioned as Cleopatras,was Maridan who was mentioned in a Biography of Marc Antony in writings called Parallel Lives by Plutarch. Plutarch quoted Octavian (Cesar Augustus) when he was warning his generals who they would have to go through to get to Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Maridan the Eunuch is mentioned as one. It makes me wonder if he was one of the effemiated males mentioned by Ant. I would think Octavian mentioning him as someone they would have to go through he was extremely close to her and he would be there to the end for her.
Ganymedes was another eunuch during Cleopatras time. He was the tutor of her younger sister Arsinoe. He probably advised her to side with her brother Ptolemy instead of Cleopatra. Arsinoe gave him command of her forces, and he proved to be a great adversary of Julius Ceasar. Julius Cesar ultimately won and Ganymedes was killed in the fight. Arsinoe was captured by Julius Ceasar's forces and imprisoned. She was later executed by Marc Antony orders.
Girl I think you were tapping into Marc Antony and Cleopatras love affair!! It was scandalous and dramatic but they were so in love that when Marc Antony was told cleopatra died (she faked her death at that time) he asked to be buried in her tomb and immediately killed himself because he was in such despair
I feel like she's buried near the lighthouse where her sister was defeated. They battled for the throne, and she won. They hated each other. The tower reminds me of the lighthouse. It was destroyed . I think the tomb is in the sea now. She maybe holding her son, that she had with Julius Ceaser. They also had eunuchs around important ladies. She loved the place Alexandrea. It's mostly under the sea now. Excellent reading Ant, loved it 👍
Love it when Ant does these kinds of readings! The figurehead male was her brother, and she schemed against him for the throne. Her lover was Mark Antony, a Roman general. As a woman in a patriarchal society, marrying any man would make her vulnerable to loss of power. He was charismatic with a gift for oratory and she would have been interested in him because she needed an ally from Rome to help her defend her kingdom. People in both Rome and Egypt were suspicious of the relationship because they didn't like the implications of their leaders being with foreigners. They both committed suicide when they lost the Battle of Actium against one of Mark Antony's Roman enemies. Supposedly, he died first, she buried him in her official mausoleum, then she died, then Octavian, the winning Roman general, buried her with him, then sometime after that a tidal wave inundated the mausoleum. Her "curse" was probably aimed at her rival sister. I'm guessing that the "gay men" associated with her were priests. In ancient times, rulers and generals believed in magic rituals and practiced them constantly. Ant's reading of the subtleties of her personality and death are extremely plausible. I don't think what Ant says needs to be read as "metaphor" necessarily -- it could be literally true. Cleopatra was iconic then and now, literally legendary as a leader/politician and lover.
The other psychic I followed said she isn't that beautiful too but she is very smart and speak multiple languages. Most of men leader can't speak multiple languages.
trust me ant, egyptians (ancient and modern) are romantics. we'll always fall for a song or beautiful words. the pyramids (there are more than just the big three) house kings and queens past. theyre filled with tunnels. the valley of the kings and most of egypt outside of the nile area and stuff is all desert, which is always messy due to constant dig sites. the islands in the nile which were home to temples have been destroyed by weather over time. all those temples now relocated to aswan! cleo loving the gays makes me so happy, motherrrrr!!!!! saw the first ever carving of cleo last winter :)
Marc Antony proved his love by gifting scrolls for the library of Alexandria and kidnapping her sister (who was in competition with her for the Egyptian throne) and taking her to Rome to be imprisoned. As someone who knows a lot about her history you were spot on.
I have watched long enough to know you better stand behind yourself!! So gifted! I am proud of you for handling your talent the way you do. You have no idea of the amount of lives you have touched. Thank you!❤
He is! I know this sounds crazy but my daughter is gifted as well and he has helped us both understand this. I am so thankful for him and his abilities.
Ant I just found your channel. You are so adorable. Love your expressions and excitement when you read. I can also feel how compassionate and sincere you are. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and joining your channel. God Bless You ❤😘
Your poetry comment was interesting considering one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays was Anthony & Cleopatra based all on the story of her and her man. I truly think they were actually in love with eachother. It’s another tragic love story. I love her monologues about him in that play they’re absolutely beautiful.
I am Greek, so a special thank you for doing this reading.💜 Cleopatra (Κλέος: Glory + Πατρίς: Homeland from Πατήρ: Father so, fatherland (instead of motherland) means the glory of one’s homeland in other words, our pride. ✨👑✨
This was so interesting and scary (curse witchy prophecy parts) but I absolutely loved it please do more legends and myths also dimensions/parallel universes soulmates etc. love you ant you're incredibly talented don't ever doubt your gift xx ❤
I have watched and read alot about Cleopatra and she absolutely did love Mark Anthony ( The person she married) an he loved her. He had to return to rome i do believe and he had to marry. Politics. He was supposed to return back to her. She also had a kid with Mark Anthony. He ended up going back to her regardless of the marriage. Her relationship with Julius Cesar was all about power and protection she had a son with him but they never married and then he was killed. I dont think cleaopatra was ugly but she lead with her power and her body. She used her feminine energy for sure. Cleopatra came from a wealthy , but rough family. She was well educated, and she did not lead with her emotions, which made her powerful. She was a survivor and she thought and moved like a Queen.
I find it funny how you knew nothing about Cleopatra when I remember having to read about her in middle school. 6th grade we had a huge project on ancient civilizations and I chose Egypt.
You picked up her relationship with her father, as he allowed her to travel to Rome with him to gain support to take over the throne of Egypt. Then he picked Cleopatra to rule by his side as co-regent, that is until he died like a year later. She had two sisters, Berenice and Arsinoe. Her father killed Berenice and took the throne from her, then when he died, Cleo married her brother and they ruled Egypt together as co-rulers. It needs to be said that when her and her siblings were younger, there was a lot of advisors who made the political shots. When Arsinoe tried to get to the throne, Cleopatra at the time was actually in exile. This is why she sought after rulers in Rome to gain power and the backing to take back the rule of Egypt, just like her father did. First going to Caesar and bearing his child Caesarion. After Caesar's assassination, she fell for Mark Antony. Cleopatra was favored among the Egyptians because among her other siblings was the only one to actually learn the language of Egypt, the civilians in Egypt really respected that. She was absolutely relentless in getting the power she wanted, and knew how to use her sexual energy to gain that power. I mean she took two pretty dang powerful men in Rome, who already had wives and made them her personal backers and used their power to gain access to the throne of Egypt. Not only did she love power, she was dedicated to gaining knowledge which is why she had IMO, the greatest library, Library of Alexandria. She was super intelligent and a master manipulator. Charming as hell and super clever. Don't mind me writing a whole ass paragraph about my love for ancient Egypt! I would love more of these history based tarot readings!!!
I was literally thinking yesterday about how cool it would be for you to do a reading on Cleopatra and other historical figures and this video came out today! Thank you soooo much for actually doing readings on diverse topics! 🙏 Please do more on historical figures or historical events, I really look forward to those! 🥹🤍
Can you imagine the ads?! "Help Wanted: 2 or more gay men; to find the tomb of Cleopatra VII. Will require proof of identity and questionnaire to verify".
She did help her brother when he was on the throne but turned on him. She wanted it for herself. She had her sister murdered too. She was relentless. You are a lot more accurate than you think. Most of her servants were gay. You are good. I like that you don't do research. She really hated her sister too.
Didn’t she marry her brother? I cant recall
@@elizabethcurtis1796yes
@@elizabethcurtis1796 yes but not for long.
Why did she hate her sister so much? Was it just jealousy?
She hated women cause she saw them as competitors and was surround by me cause she wanted to be one hence ‘’pick me’’
"No man will ever find my tomb" and then a woman finds it... Slay
After watching the reading... Maybe not 😅
Are you talking about Martinez ? A french archeologist youtuber actually debunked her, there is not much subtance to her research.
If you're just talking about that phrase then sorry haha
@@lyra157 what's the name of the french archeologist or their channel?
@@lyra157she is Dominican lol
Ah man, I’d love to be a tiny fly on the wall to whiteness queen Cleopatra’s reaction to a woman finding her tomb.🤭
A reading on the Library of Alexandria would be great. Also, the Vatican and it's hidden knowledge and secrets. Thanks Ant!
Yuuppp so good
Yes!!
I would love that too
would love that too
But... it burned down?
Cleo probably buried with her gays instead of her lover 💀
Yeah I think this is the answer lol
Sounds something that would happen to me ffk them straights 😂
Honestly, not only did you pick up on her very accurately in the beginning but you also nailed just how ruthless her entire family ( the Ptolemies ) were and how they operated. Some of her biggest female rivals were actually her sisters ( Berenice & Arsinoe ) but in particular, Arsinoe, who she later had killed. Before she came to power completely on own, she had to share the throne with both her father and brothers. She had a relationship and son with Julius Caesar but the man you were talking about as her love that she "plucked" was probably Mark Antony who she lowkey got to betray Rome for her. He was also married as well but ousted his wife and married Cleopatra instead. Their love was the epitome of forbidden.
The theory is that her tomb was near the harbor of Alexandria which is now underwater because of natural disasters. A lot of the ancient geography there has changed since her time just do to mother nature. Mark Antony and Cleopatra were buried together according to legend and even if they weren't, Cleopatra asked that they be. The things you talked about her holding in her hands could maybe be the Crook and Flail held by rulers? The magical cursey vibes you picked up were legit too. She identified herself as the living embodiment of the Egyptian goddess, Isis, who was literally goddess of magic. It makes sense there'd be some magic and curses involved. I'm not surprised how strongly you picked up on it!
Super impressed with all of this information given you didn't do any research!! I love your videos so much and have been watching awhile!! Please do more historical figure or historical mystery readings!! This was amazing!! Thank you so much!! Bless!! ❤
If anyone is looking for a good movie to watch about Cleo, the 1999 movie Cleopatra is fantastic!! This reading reminded me so much of that movie.
There has been an ongoing excavation at TapOsiris Magna near Alexandria. The team is led by Dr Kathleen Martinez, who believes the temple to be the burial site. In 2023 a tunnel was found 'During ongoing excavations and exploration of the temple, Kathleen Martinez of the University of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and colleagues uncovered the structure 13 meters (43 feet) below the ground. The 2-meter tall tunnel had been hewn through an incredible 1,305 meters (4,281 feet) of sandstone.' This may be the tunnel referred to. It is described as a 'geometric miracle. tunnel.'
I thought she was just using Marc Antony as well, maybe in the beginning then she developed feelings for him?
@@Lofilifer1 That's probably very likely considering her character, ngl. I think she was always attracted to him but she had a pattern of using her lovers for political power. It makes sense to think that perhaps their love was something that developed later.
@@Lofilifer1 I believe you are right. I think that apart from being fiercely ambitious, Cleopatra was also a survivor. When that was no longer feasible she took the ultimate control in ending her own life. Did she love Marc Antony? In my opinion, no.
"Cleopatra wasn't a girl's girl". Definitely not. She was Caesar's mistress and had Marc Antony execute her younger sister. She was blood-thirsty, egocentric pick-me, and that's why she's so interesting.
She knew what she wanted and how to get it.
She wasn't bloodthirsty but she was definitely ruthless
“…did you have GAYS?”
I’m fucking dying
Of course they did, if it wasn't Greek or roman gays, there was eunuch which were male servants who were submissive to rulers and castrated so they wouldn't rape the women.
And no doubt it’s that person (whoever he might be) is the underdog mentioned in the reading will be the one to discover her tomb since it’s obvious he’s the one Cleo has chosen. Sorry Kathleen Martinez, but her majesty has already picked her chosen one.
"Isn't it interesting how the tropes of love were the same back then as they are now?" Right on, Ant.
Ant feeding my inner child who was obsessed with Egyptian mythology
me too 😭
Cleo really said "you need the girls, the gays, and the theys" 😂😂
😂😂😂
Marc antony was her boo. They are definitely together somewhere. He went rogue to be with her. Two of the greatest empires of that time.
Didn't he betray her for his empire though?
@@giupinkfairy Not sure. Probably. But he definitely betrayed Caesar. And derived that famous but shortened phrase "E tu Brutus". When Anthony had helped or had a hand in killing him.
That and he was married to the sister of Octavian who became Cesar Augustus and he was not happy about the affair thus did a smear campaign against them.
Those two were a powerhouse for their time.
@@giupinkfairy No, it's the other way around. He led her army against Rome's
She was loved by her people because she was the only ruler not of Egyptian decent to learn the language and follow their spiritual practices.
That's so basic and I'm surprised that that was the reason
No white president in America has adopted Indigenous spirituality or learned the language.
Seems kind of rare actually
STOP NOT TRISHA 💀
😂😂😂
😂
queenie
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I said the same thing 😭😂 to funny !
For some context Cleopatra was married to two her brothers who was pharaoh as co-rulers (it was common for incest to occur in the Egyptian royal family) and she went to civil war with one of them her for power overthrowing him for sole power of Egypt. Before actually becoming official queen cleopatra of Egypt though her younger brother as co-ruler later rumored to be actually killed by Cleopatra via poisoning on her order. By the topic of her lovers, she met Caesar and hooked up (which disputed having his kid as well) but they never married and Mark Anthony (who she also married) I think Mark was her true love and had twins with him. Also the underground system, Egyptians built tombs underground, also I should mention she did not like her sister who died during her reign who tried to assassinate her then cleopatra ends up exiling then later killing her sister, but it’s the closest thing I can think of whom she didn’t like that was a female unless it’s a well known historical woman. It’s also historically known tombs to have traps to protect the tomb from trespassers. It was also said that Cleopatra died with her two female servants to watch over her body after she died before killing themselves as well by poison. I absolutely loved this reading, Cleopatra has always been my favorite story. Who knows maybe it’s going to be a gay man that finds the tomb that’s a loophole to avoid a curse 😂
She didn’t murder her brother, they were co-rulers. Her brother was gay also.
@@dollyllama816 Yes they were co rulers but Cleopatra wasn’t the sole queen of Egypt, her second brother died of poisoning most likely upon Cleopatra’s orders, I forgot that she had two brothers with the same name, but yes the one I was referring to was drowned by attempting flee upon being attacked by both Caesar and Cleopatra’s forces. For the gay statement I can’t find any evidence on that either than he was close to a general and tutor but that as in means consul not lovers.
Given Ant’s reading and this synopsis, I don’t understand some of the fan girl comments of Cleopatra. He’s basically describing a power hungry psycho/sociopath who was mean spirited to the very end.
@@pennPi Yeah, as much I love learning about Cleopatra and her story I don’t idolize her nor idolize any historical figure for that matter especially someone who rules a country with an iron fist yes she might’ve done great things for her people doesn’t she was a morally good person. I get what you mean and I agree it’s not just Cleopatra but other famous women historical figures that define as “girl boss” material the girl’s girl. like Queen Elizabeth who wasn’t this ahead of her time as anyone thinks nor a great person she massacre thousands of Catholics along with her sister who murdered hundreds of Protestants. Before people admire this person learn from historians and reading material not have a pop culture outlook on it.
She was madly in love with Mark Anthony's and wanted him life and in death. People didn't think he gave her great advice and led her military into a losing battle.
Cleopatra talkin to ant like: bruh I was petty and I fucked up, tell these bitches there's a curse. 😂
Historian and admirer here at your service!
She was born in a dynasty were women were very liberated and became the co-regents of their husband-brothers: actual, legal co-regents, not a question of influence.
Behind the scenes before throne - she was her fathers favorite; he appointed her his successor because of that, and she may have been his co-ruler before she succeeded him. When she succeeded him, she officially became the co-ruler of her brother; they both ruled, though in reality she had all the power (she was older).
She killed her first brother when her tried to depose her and married her younger brother; he was by all accounts very submissive to her (he was very young). He died. Then came Ceasar, and he was certainly not submissive. It was political.
Anthony - could he have been submissive to her in private? It would not suprise me. But I do think she really loved him.
I don't know who she could have "plucked" controversially, but it could have been a courtier - we don't know the names of most of them. She could have taken a lover we don't know about. She would have had many servants and officials history no longer know about.
Yes, her toom was alongside Anthony's. They were burried together. He was not king (except by being married to her).
There was an earthquake that made part of the city - were her palace were - to sink in the sea.
Yes she was worshipped after death - the rulers of her dynasty were seen as gods after death.
There was an underground system - the rulers of her dynasty were likely burried in tunnels, but we have not found any of them.
Woman who she disliked who tried to dethrone her - her sister Arsinoe IV tried to depose her, and she had her killed. Her grave is not found either.
Efeminate men - nothing strange with that at all, her court was Greek - she was an ethnic Greek, her court was Greek - and hbtq people were very accepted in Greek culture.
There you go - you said you were going to read answers to your questions by a historian, so here you are! (loved the video!)
@@wendybond2848 Believe it or not; but not all historians have the English language as their native language, and I doubt it would be easy for you to spell eqvivalent word correctly in my language. I am writing from Scandinavia, of course there are going to be spelling mistakes, haha. And it may not be important to me if you believe my qualifications, when I am writing on my free time and not because I want you to employ me. Why not read about hese things yourself? It is so easy to verify online with all digitalized scholarly books available, and then you don't have to trust me for it. I am on my day off, listening to a youtuber I enjoy. Have a lovely day.
@@kimm.8800 I apologise for being so rude. No excuse, I’m sorry.
This is probably a silly question, but what do the archeologists do to prevent the curses or whatever coming at them at these kings/queens tombs? I imagine awful stuff like in The Mummy series 😭
@Lunearien Most archeologists don't believe in curses. The concept of curses being real came about full force after finding king Tut's tomb and a number of the people who participated d!eing shortly after. But until then archeologists of low moral character would essentially tomb rob and sell artifacts and even the mummies themselves. The rich who would have unwrapping parties, pharmacies would sell parts believing in their medicinal qualities (yes I mean cannibalism) or even painters who wanted a particular shading technique would use the color mummy brown ( you cant make this up) Also, you wouldn't believe how many mummies and artifacts can be accessible by just a bit of digging in the right locations even today( usually they aren't people who were royal). However, for the superstitious, you could always bring a priest of sorts to give protection or "bless" the area.
@@Ashley-vs8nu Human's greed really have no boundary eh... Also good to know at least there's not much damage to the living people-I wonder if it got something to do with their scepticism.
Thanks for sharing! 🍻✨️
Ant is giving me the history class I needed
Ant it says the archiologist Kathleen discovered tunnles and part of it is submerged in water which was caused by several eathquakes!!!! You were exactly right 😮
Would love a King Arthur reading, and the characters of Morrigan, Guinevere, Lancelot, his mom and day, round table ~ I’m obsessed.
Love this reading BTW
Merlin!
Myrrdwyn was his Celtic name. Merlin was more mainstream.
Or Ann Boleyn! 😊
She was in love with Marc Anthony and he was married but they loved each other prior and continued to see each other once he married. She did help him when he went to war with Octavian. She married her brothers because it was tradition. She then killed herself after Marc killed himself. She asked Octavian to be buried with Marc but it’s rumored if Octavian listen to her request it wouldn’t be a good move for him but according to your reading it looks like he did respect her wishes. The woman she despise is her sister that tried to dethrone her and the two gay men could be her maids that died with her in form of suicide.
She didn’t ask Octavian, she killed herself to escape Octavian. He was threatening to make her prisoner and execute her so to avoid the humiliation she killed herself and then Octavian killed her son.
Marc Anthony wasn’t killed, for he killed himself with his own sword. Because Octavian had won the war between them
@@UnsaintedNobody Cleo sent a note to Octavian with that request before she killed herself AND it was more honorable to kill herself then be killed. And yes Marc killed himself wrote it wrong
So Cleopatra had two men around her who read as queer that she thought of as her children? So she was ancient Egyptian Mother? Lol
of course she was 👑
She proclaimed herself after the Goddess Isis, so she must have thought highly of her mother role. There's a lot of killer queens in Egyptian mythology too, but she picked the clever and kind mother queen for herself.
Someone tell Dr. Martinez to take Trixie and Katya to look for Cleo 😭😭😹
Ooooo!!! Can you do a reading on how the library of Alexandria really ended? And if it was a book/scroll heist? If so... Where are the books?
They're in the Vatican it's why nobody can go there
Kaz Rowe has a really good video on the library.
Vatican stole most of what was left.
Mark Anthony (3rd husband). After suffering a great defeat from upcoming ruler Octavian, he killed himself. Cleopatra heartbroken, and not to be taken back to Rome as some winning trophy to Octavian, she and her team set up a tunnel to where no one can reach their bodies, as she proceed to poison herself died next to Anthony, along with her mistresses.
WOW that makes so much sense now
Ant you're not being crazy 😇the curse thing is true and very common. A lot of pharaohs would put curses on their tombs & treasures so people wouldn't disturb them when they were going to the afterlife. Many scholars and Archaeologists have also had weird paranormal experiences as well due to not believing in it at times. such as Weird plagues/diseases, freak accidents, bug infestations etc.
Forbidden: She was an Egyptian queen, he was Roman emperor. Oil, meet water.
Marc Antony was married when she met him ..he had 4 wives before Cleopatra and his current wife was for political reasons in Roman society, so he was probably deemed forbidden to marry Cleopatra-and she was forbidden to marry a commoner...he had 8 children in his life ,sounds alot like Trump
She was of Greek descent
He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say.
She was both @@cheynaebrehaun
Not really.
Cleopatra was a magnificent ruler for her time and beyond. A lot of the slander about her is a result of Rome being so incensed at her audacity and blatant power they couldn't stop talking about her (and bringing her down because how dare a woman).
She was also a Ptolemy, a dynasty who didn't go a single generation without murdering multiple of their own family members to get to the top; it goes without saying she had to be the best schemer, manipulator, whatever word you choose to take power and keep it.
She was married to her brother but he was uppity and tried to have her killed, but she was able to reach Caesar (the famous rolled carpet first-meeting) and convinced him to join her. (Hubby-Brother also killed Caesar's close friend/general which was the exact worst move). She and Caesar got together, she had a son and sailed to Rome to keep power then Caesar got murdered and she dipped back to Egypt before they could mob her. Badda bing badda boom, Marc Antony turns up and the rest is history.
She was also incredibly rich and talented at negotiation and managed to keep Egypt out of Rome's hands despite the fact her father and before him had mortgaged Egypt to fund their petty little family wars/armies. When she died Egypt was fully incorporated into the Roman Empire.
The Egyptian people did like her, she had their support and she was the only one of the Ptolemies to learn Egyptian, which was very important, as Egyptian riots were known to be royally deadly.
Also yes, poetry and art has been a thing for humankind forever, and romance too.
What a lovely reading about her tomb as well, spooky, intriguing, invigorating, I hope we do find it and treat the artifacts with the reverence they deserve.
The f*ck you might be for her sister (see her brother trying sh*t, the whole family tried it) or Octavian (I would say that to Octavian for realsies).
not me thinking she was #GIRLBOSS but Mrs.Girl really out here cursing woman😔
Still a girlboss
How funny would it be if she had to reincarnate to find her own tomb and cancel the curse lmao
@@DaphnesLaurelLeaves thats not how reincarnation works
She is still a gillboss but a pick me girl boss
@@kittyythecat I would rather unalive myself instead of being obsessed with men respectfully🤡🤡
The pick me type sounds accurate from what I've read. Plus, the not a girls girl also rings true. She got rid of her sister.
Absolutely, but I'll always wonder if she was naturally like that or she just had to be because of the time period and kindness wasn't beneficial for her in a race for power.
I agree with you! I think she had no choice but to use men who could keep her in power. @material-cheshirekhatter2413
@material-cheshirekhatter2413 I absolutely agree with you! I think she had no choice but to be ruthless to survive. She also used men to stay in power. I think the male he is talking about was Mark Antony.
Was
You literally had to assassinate your siblings to survive in that time and level of power. Calling it "pick me" is insulting.
Cleo was married to Mark Antony - a ruler of Rome. He left his wife to be with her. They had several children and when his army was defeated, they committed suicide together by Vipor bite. Like Romeo and Juliet!
Marc Antony was a general, not a ruler
That’s pretty false, Marc Anthony died on August 1st 30 bc at 53 years old, a civil war started between Marc Anthony, cleopatra and Octavian when Octavian declared war on them because he called them traders, Marc Anthony had been married to Octavian’s sister Octavia and had an affair with cleopatra which further strained their relationship.
When Marc Anthony and Cleopatra lost the war, Marc Anthony Killed himself with his own sword.
Cleopatra died on August 10th or August 12th at 39 when she was told that Octavian had a plan to make her a prisoner and execute her and then take over Egypt.. to avoid the humiliation, she had her servants kill themselves at her feet, and then she allowed a Deadly snake bite her on the breast which killed her. Octavian then went after her son Caesarian at 17 years old he was executed by Octavian
She was in love with Marc Anthony. Sounds like her tomb could be in the Valleys of the Kings as all the tombs there are basically underground tunnels. There are still tons of tombs to be discovered in that area. If her tomb is intact, it would be a bonanza for tourism in Egypt (they are still recovering from the pandemic). There is actually a tomb of a gay couple not far from the pyramids. They are the royal hairdressers. Their tomb was pretty fancy when I saw it in person. Officially they were brothers according to local islamic government but let’s just say it was pretty obvious they were husbands imo. 😅
Always forward. Always down. Never left or right.
Also, I think she's "closer to the door" than people would think. Like people would walk right past the entrance to her tomb because they think it has to be further into the structure.
🎶 Cleopatra Coming At’cha’ah 🎶 It was Mark Anthony you saw as her lover Ant. Mark was the Roman general for Cesar and Mark betrayed Rome and Cesar to be with Cleopatra 💖

It takes me back to 1998 😂😮
Ant you might not have known a lot about Cleopatra but you still slayed this reading - I think it’s my favourite out of all you’ve done!! Can you do more ancient Egyptian readings? I was fascinated hearing your take on this. We need more!! (pleaseeee) 💕✨
Cleopatra would be honored if you found her tomb Ant! she'll definitely adore you and like your sassy personality. that be the craziest vlog in UA-cam history. 😂❤
So, this may be wildly controversial but I am curious as to if you could do a reading on Jesus Christ.
Oh yea
💯
YES!!! PLEASE
I really want to know what his personality was truly like and what he believed in but Ant would need to make a hugeee disclaimer in the intro to protect his channel
@@lilliesinthegard32 not sure if you will read my comment, but It’s even more interesting when you find out Jesus (allegedly) never wanted a religion in his name. Gnostic texts claim that Jesus did not believe the “God” in the Bible was benevolent or good, but a deceptive and evil entity merely posing as the true God. The God in the bible is a malicious demiurge called Yaldabaoth who trapped our souls in the earthly plane in order to enslave us and imprison our souls in flesh, demanding we worship it and deceiving us through Biblical text that it is the only God. The material plane is essentially hell, imprisoning the soul here through reincarnation and subjected to suffering, illness and death. We continue to reincarnate here until we “wake up” and realize that WE are divine, and that everyone and everything already IS God. This dimension is an illusion. The Gnostics compiled many omitted chapters from the Bible talking about this and as a result were hunted down by the Catholic church. I just wish more people knew about this
Mark Anthony and Julius Ceaser were married. Anthony left his wife and family for her. She traveled to Rome with Ceaser’s child and humiliated him in public. I’m sure Ceaser’s wife wasn’t happy either. In fact, this humiliation of Ceaser is what made her enemies with Ceaser’s family and Rome. This is what led to her downfall. The Egyptian people loved her and said she was the reincarnation of Isis. I think she was trying to form an alliance of Egypt and Rome by giving birth to Ceaser’a son to do so. We have to remember in her time this was probably one of the only ways for women to get power. I think she might have been buried by her father and the Ptolemy lineage. If I remember this correctly the sister she killed was supposed to be the Queen instead of her and the sister started it all by fearing that Cleo would kill her, plotted to kill Cleo. I think this was where the grudge started. She killed her brother, she married because she believed he was a weak leader and that he would let Rome take over. She is well known for her love of knowledge, and I am sure she had a great amount of knowledge of occult and herbs too. She created the library of Alexandria to share this knowledge to the world.
Ant should do a reading on whether or not St Joan of Arc was really guided by angels
Oohhh...love these types of readings...🖤👀💯
I've studied Cleopatra extensively. Some info to corroborate the reading and also correct some of the comments. Per Egyptian custom Cleopatra was married to her younger brother who was Pharaoh. He had two eunuchs and those two along with their sister Arsinoe convince the brother to turn on Cleopatra. They plan to kill her and have him marry Arsinoe. Cleopatra ended up getting Julius Caesar to back her and in the ensuing battle her brother died, and her sister was taken captive. Her sister was exiled rather than killed but Cleopatra did send assassins after her and had her killed so she could no longer be a threat. Cleopatra then married her youngest brother for their custom and continued her reign. Her younger brother died but the only people who think that she poisoned him were her detractors. She did have a relationship with Julius Caesar and had a child with him but they were never married because the Roman people would never accept a foreign wife or queen and Caesar was married already.
After Julius Caesar was killed Marc Antony was put in charge of Egypt as essentially the Roman caretaker. He and Cleopatra started a relationship, he left his wife and married Cleopatra which really pissed off Rome and essentially led to him being exiled from Rome. He was known to be a very light-hearted and to really enjoy music and festivities. He was a great soldier but not the best leader and when Rome attacked Egypt his and Egypt's army lost. Mainly because Octavius and Rome had a brilliant general who just dominated the war between them.
Regarding the reading, Cleopatra's tomb was supposed to be near Alexander the Great's tomb. She was also supposedly buried with Marc Antony who is killed when Rome invaded Egypt led by Octavius who became Augustus the first and was Julius Caesar's nephew. And if there was anyone that she would give a big FU to in her tomb it would be Octavius. In fact she killed herself when they lost the war with Rome because Octavius wanted to parade her around in Rome as his conquest and by killing herself she took that away from him and kept her dignity. It would also explain why any followers would have gone out of their way to try to hide her tomb and preserve it because after this Egypt really fell and they were under Roman control.
Regarding the effeminate men, those would be eunuchs who are castrated men who were typically advisors in the court. So that's probably why they're giving a feminine energy. Doesn't necessarily mean they were gay but it is a possibility. Both Alexander's tomb and Cleopatra's tomb were lost, likely by rising sea levels and potential earthquakes that would have pushed that part of Egypt into the Mediterranean.
Hopefully that had some clarity! Great reading!
I love this reading! I love ancient Egypt. It would be interesting if you read Nefertiti
YES!!!
Alexandria had several massive earthquakes. The archaeological layers of that time period is now under the water level, which is why it’s been so hard for any archaeological dig sites - as well as it being a major metropolitan city. So it makes sense her tomb being moved after major earthquake.
Eunuch..castrated human male. From remote antiquity, eunuchs were employed in the Middle East and in China in two main functions: as guards and servants in harems or other women's quarters, and as chamberlains to kings
This
thank you!!
Thank you!
I thought the same!
This is exactly what my intuition said
She was fierce and determined, brave and intelligent, her story is epic, and power hungry doesn't scratch the surface of her character
Pretty please do a reading on Anne Boleyn 🙏🏻. There’s so much biased information. I’d love to know her real personality and feelings towards Henry VIII.
Omg I literally just asked for this! Been asking Ant for a while I’m beggingggggg lol
Kathleen Martinez is the archaeologist searching for her and she’s found the tunnels deep deep down, you need to warn her x
I've learned SO much about Tarot from watching you over the years. Now when you put a card down and it's TEA, before you say anything I'm like "uuhh ohhh!!!! ohh nooo!" 😹🫶 Thank you for sharing your gift.I really do get excited when you upload. 🩷🫶✨P.S. my Mom watches you now too! 🥰
Hey Love there is a woman named Kathleen Martinez who has been searching for Cleopatra's tomb. Google her name and it comes up. Maybe contact her because I have a feeling she will understand EXACTLY what you are talking about.

- Good for her.
“She’s not a girl’s girl. She would be a pick me today.”
- Oh, that’s not..
OH ! The two men that were more feminine - I’ve heard that witches in ancient Egypt were usually gay men . That could be something
Have you done a reading on the Paris Catacombs? could be super interesting to learn more about what's down there.
Your water sign poet is Julius Caesar (he’s born on July 12 or 13 100 BCE and was known to write poetry, but none of his works survived to modern day) and yeah he didn’t play her game, he had his own business in the Roman Empire he was more focused on. She eventually ended up with Marcus Antonius and they were together for 11 years had 3 kids and died together according to legend. Your cards and reading are pretty spot on. I love cleopatra documentaries and everything you’ve said has been said regarding her not being a girls girl, her lust for power, and she in fact advised her brother until she seized power from him. Lastly, if I remember my history correctly she either had her sister killed or exiled.
This is my favorite reading by you! I enjoyed it sooooo much!! Marc Anthony was the governor of Tarsus and my family is from Tarsus so the legend of Cleopatra and Marc Anthony was a staple of my childhood. It is sooooo good to listen to what these people used to be like outside of their myths. Can you please do a series of readings on historical personalities and what they were like? Or maybe the ancient civilizations? What really involved worshiping deities like the ancient Greek ones?? There were Eleusinian mysteries back then that no one to this day knows the details of. It would be freaking amazing!!!!
OMG, historical figures would be so interesting! Van Gogh comes to mind.

Aww… she really did love Marc Antony. 🥺
Cleopatra was very close to her dad but she had to marry her little brother (9 yr old) when she was 16..then she got rid of him and she sat at the throne...She married Marc Anthony who was already married, he had to divorced his wife or something like that, and you’re right, they were really in love with e/a and she got soft and he got killed, it was basically like Romeo and Juliet, they had 3 children together
Your timing for so many of my hyper fixations is insane. I've been revisiting my obsession with Ancient Egypt and Ancient Atlantis (the Richat structure iykyk lol) recently and I am about to eat this UP

"Eunuchs, by way of self-castration, could become a part of the court of Assyrian and Egyptian rulers. In many cases, eunuchs were able to establish and cultivate very close relationships with the ruling family. In some situations, eunuchs would even become regents as the heir to the throne matured."
Pothinus was an Eunuch and regent for Ptolemy (cleopatras husband/brother) who is accused by Julius Ceasar of turning ptolemy against Cleopatra and starting the civil war between them. And killing Pompeii, presenting his head to Julius cesar which infuriated Julius. So he had Pothinus executed.
The only Eunuch I could find specifically mentioned as Cleopatras,was Maridan who was mentioned in a Biography of Marc Antony in writings called Parallel Lives by Plutarch. Plutarch quoted Octavian (Cesar Augustus) when he was warning his generals who they would have to go through to get to Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Maridan the Eunuch is mentioned as one. It makes me wonder if he was one of the effemiated males mentioned by Ant. I would think Octavian mentioning him as someone they would have to go through he was extremely close to her and he would be there to the end for her.
Ganymedes was another eunuch during Cleopatras time. He was the tutor of her younger sister Arsinoe. He probably advised her to side with her brother Ptolemy instead of Cleopatra. Arsinoe gave him command of her forces, and he proved to be a great adversary of Julius Ceasar. Julius Cesar ultimately won and Ganymedes was killed in the fight. Arsinoe was captured by Julius Ceasar's forces and imprisoned. She was later executed by Marc Antony orders.
Not Cleo being a petty mix of Taylor Swift and the Witch-king of Angmar (from The Lord Of The Rings), with that "No man can kill me" prophecy. 🤣
You're ocult/mystic/conspiracy videos are my fave!
Omg please please do more of these readings from past famous people!!
Girl I think you were tapping into Marc Antony and Cleopatras love affair!! It was scandalous and dramatic but they were so in love that when Marc Antony was told cleopatra died (she faked her death at that time) he asked to be buried in her tomb and immediately killed himself because he was in such despair
I feel like she's buried near the lighthouse where her sister was defeated. They battled for the throne, and she won. They hated each other. The tower reminds me of the lighthouse. It was destroyed . I think the tomb is in the sea now.
She maybe holding her son, that she had with Julius Ceaser. They also had eunuchs around important ladies.
She loved the place Alexandrea. It's mostly under the sea now.
Excellent reading Ant, loved it 👍
Love it when Ant does these kinds of readings! The figurehead male was her brother, and she schemed against him for the throne. Her lover was Mark Antony, a Roman general. As a woman in a patriarchal society, marrying any man would make her vulnerable to loss of power. He was charismatic with a gift for oratory and she would have been interested in him because she needed an ally from Rome to help her defend her kingdom. People in both Rome and Egypt were suspicious of the relationship because they didn't like the implications of their leaders being with foreigners. They both committed suicide when they lost the Battle of Actium against one of Mark Antony's Roman enemies. Supposedly, he died first, she buried him in her official mausoleum, then she died, then Octavian, the winning Roman general, buried her with him, then sometime after that a tidal wave inundated the mausoleum. Her "curse" was probably aimed at her rival sister. I'm guessing that the "gay men" associated with her were priests. In ancient times, rulers and generals believed in magic rituals and practiced them constantly. Ant's reading of the subtleties of her personality and death are extremely plausible. I don't think what Ant says needs to be read as "metaphor" necessarily -- it could be literally true. Cleopatra was iconic then and now, literally legendary as a leader/politician and lover.
The other psychic I followed said she isn't that beautiful too but she is very smart and speak multiple languages. Most of men leader can't speak multiple languages.
ooh im early. you are the only youtuber that i check repeatedly on the day you’re meant to upload i get so excited!!
Thank you means so much
Epiphsis Turkey. Cleo was Greek which is why she was seen as a great beauty. She simply looked different from Egyptian and Roman women.
actually she wasn't thought to be beautiful, even in her time. all her seductive prowess was in the power of her mind
Right, she was considered quite plain. But she was shrewd, ruthless and cunning which really intrigued men with power during that time
Cleopatra was Macedonian
@@ElizabetaMulovski which was an area in Greece. 🤦♀️
I think it was her attitude and power that made her more attractive.
trust me ant, egyptians (ancient and modern) are romantics. we'll always fall for a song or beautiful words. the pyramids (there are more than just the big three) house kings and queens past. theyre filled with tunnels. the valley of the kings and most of egypt outside of the nile area and stuff is all desert, which is always messy due to constant dig sites. the islands in the nile which were home to temples have been destroyed by weather over time. all those temples now relocated to aswan! cleo loving the gays makes me so happy, motherrrrr!!!!! saw the first ever carving of cleo last winter :)
Can you please do a reading on the garden of Eden? Would we ever found the location?
Marc Antony proved his love by gifting scrolls for the library of Alexandria and kidnapping her sister (who was in competition with her for the Egyptian throne) and taking her to Rome to be imprisoned. As someone who knows a lot about her history you were spot on.
Can you keep doing these type of readings. Having to do with history... that would be interesting ❤😊
Caesar allegedly referred to her as "golden lips"...total Queen 🙌
I have watched long enough to know you better stand behind yourself!! So gifted! I am proud of you for handling your talent the way you do. You have no idea of the amount of lives you have touched. Thank you!❤
he really is so talented
He is! I know this sounds crazy but my daughter is gifted as well and he has helped us both understand this. I am so thankful for him and his abilities.
Ant I just found your channel. You are so adorable. Love your expressions and excitement when you read. I can also feel how compassionate and sincere you are. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and joining your channel. God Bless You ❤😘
I hope you do more of this historia mysteries
Your poetry comment was interesting considering one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays was Anthony & Cleopatra based all on the story of her and her man. I truly think they were actually in love with eachother. It’s another tragic love story. I love her monologues about him in that play they’re absolutely beautiful.
would you consider doing a part two?! super fun and fascinating!!
The best reading you’ve ever done. I was HOOKED whew !
I am Greek, so a special thank you for doing this reading.💜
Cleopatra (Κλέος: Glory + Πατρίς: Homeland from Πατήρ: Father so, fatherland (instead of motherland) means the glory of one’s homeland in other words, our pride. ✨👑✨
This was so interesting and scary (curse witchy prophecy parts) but I absolutely loved it please do more legends and myths also dimensions/parallel universes soulmates etc. love you ant you're incredibly talented don't ever doubt your gift xx ❤
I have watched and read alot about Cleopatra and she absolutely did love Mark Anthony ( The person she married) an he loved her. He had to return to rome i do believe and he had to marry. Politics. He was supposed to return back to her. She also had a kid with Mark Anthony. He ended up going back to her regardless of the marriage. Her relationship with Julius Cesar was all about power and protection she had a son with him but they never married and then he was killed.
I dont think cleaopatra was ugly but she lead with her power and her body. She used her feminine energy for sure.
Cleopatra came from a wealthy , but rough family. She was well educated, and she did not lead with her emotions, which made her powerful. She was a survivor and she thought and moved like a Queen.
Dragging and cursing an opp even in death. To be frank, highly iconic.
Just read 'Cleaoptra's life in one essay' and you spewed that truth!
Omg this was so ENTERTAINING! Please do more historical figures!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I find it funny how you knew nothing about Cleopatra when I remember having to read about her in middle school. 6th grade we had a huge project on ancient civilizations and I chose Egypt.
You picked up her relationship with her father, as he allowed her to travel to Rome with him to gain support to take over the throne of Egypt. Then he picked Cleopatra to rule by his side as co-regent, that is until he died like a year later. She had two sisters, Berenice and Arsinoe. Her father killed Berenice and took the throne from her, then when he died, Cleo married her brother and they ruled Egypt together as co-rulers. It needs to be said that when her and her siblings were younger, there was a lot of advisors who made the political shots. When Arsinoe tried to get to the throne, Cleopatra at the time was actually in exile. This is why she sought after rulers in Rome to gain power and the backing to take back the rule of Egypt, just like her father did. First going to Caesar and bearing his child Caesarion. After Caesar's assassination, she fell for Mark Antony. Cleopatra was favored among the Egyptians because among her other siblings was the only one to actually learn the language of Egypt, the civilians in Egypt really respected that. She was absolutely relentless in getting the power she wanted, and knew how to use her sexual energy to gain that power. I mean she took two pretty dang powerful men in Rome, who already had wives and made them her personal backers and used their power to gain access to the throne of Egypt. Not only did she love power, she was dedicated to gaining knowledge which is why she had IMO, the greatest library, Library of Alexandria. She was super intelligent and a master manipulator. Charming as hell and super clever. Don't mind me writing a whole ass paragraph about my love for ancient Egypt! I would love more of these history based tarot readings!!!
might be my favourite reading this year!
Ant loved this reading! Someone needs to contact Kathleen Martinez the archeologists that’s currently looking for cleopatra’s tomb!
GIRRRRL WE NEED MORE OF THIS READING!

Thank you soooo much for actually doing readings on diverse topics! 🙏 Please do more on historical figures or historical events, I really look forward to those! 🥹🤍

i love your historical/spiritual videos ant!!! thank you 💕
"You need a gay man maybe two "😂😂😂😂
I feel this is applicable to life in general.
I find it ironic but funny that whoever this guy is, Cleo chose him to find her tomb.
😂😂🤣
HE IS the gay man lol at least one of them 😂😂
Can you imagine the ads?!
"Help Wanted: 2 or more gay men; to find the tomb of Cleopatra VII. Will require proof of identity and questionnaire to verify".
Yay I love these kinds of readings!
