Cleopatra Was a Dinaro Mediterranidess

Her association with Africans of Color and by extension African Americans is explained by Ancient Egypt's relationship with Nubia.

In the 19th century some historians and anthropologists reimagined specifically Cleopatra's genetical relationship with Nubia for the sake of romance in their work.

During the first half of the 20th century a Black Cleopatra gained momentum in the American popular consciousness thanks to an increasingly romantic treatment of her historical person, and because she had been repurposed for civil rights iconography.

Netflix's new documentary privileges Cleopatra's post-life over her life.

In America it is more likely that Hannibal be cast with historical accuracy because his post-life isn't linked to African American men how Cleopatra's post-life is to African American women - the General is less political.

I think it is most likely that a hollywood Hannibal biopic produced in the next 20 years feature an actor with at least some African heritage.

Hannibal's life is also too diverting for his post-life to overtake it.

No offence to Cleopatra.
