A Cleopatra fact

Cleopatra came to the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39... She spoke 16 languages. Cleopatra knew the language of ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her origin.

Other than that, he knew Greek and the languages ​​of the Parthians, Hebrews, Fem, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians, and Arabs. With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, studies of geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time. Cleopatra spent a lot of time in an ancient laboratory. He wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all of his books were destroyed in the fire at the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. c. The famous physicist Galen studied her work and was able to transcribe some of the recipes idealized by Cleopatra. One of these medicines, which Galen also increased to his patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra's books also included beauty tricks, but none of them reached us.

The queen of Egypt was also interested in healing through herbs, and thanks to her knowledge of languages ​​she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. His influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity.
