Cleopatra is known to have had relations with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Both of these men were in power in the Roman Empire at some time. It is difficult to imagine why Cleopatra wanted a suitor from a far of place than where she was in Egypt (Anderson, Jaynie, 2012, p.45). Rome was considered a mighty Empire at that time; this led people to conclude that Cleopatra used her beauty to lure both Mark Antony and Julius Cesar to be with her and in turn empower her kingdom. This led to the modern notions that Cleopatra used her beauty and charms to get anything she wanted from anyone.
Why do we remember Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, more commonly known as just Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt made famous for her seduction and love affair with Marc Antony? It seems to be pointless to remember one specific person who lived only for pleasure, as many other people acted in the same manner only to be forgotten. The answer lies not in the tragic tale we tell of her today, but in the political power she held as a woman in a male dominated world. Cleopatra was one of the few Egyptian Pharaohs who was female, including Neithhotep, Merneith, Sobeknefru, Nefertiti, and, of course, Hatshepsut (Mark). Cleopatra is influential in society today because her political power and intriguing story interest people still.

It is well known that ancient Egypt had an obsession with the afterlife, and apparently, their art was not intended to be seen by the living, but for only those who had passed on into eternity. The statue of King Menkaure and Queen had been found in January of 1910, and when uncovered, was found to be in pristine condition. The statue represented the idealistic masculine and feminine traits of men and women, which King Menkaure and his wife most likely exhibited in their lifetime. The statue had been carved using greywacke, which is a type of sand stone prized for its hardness and dark color.
Recent discoveries convey an importance to the world’s history. However, different authors convey that idea in different ways. The passage,” New Discoveries in Ancient Egypt” by Bryan Brown and “The Curse of the Pharaohs” by Zahi Hawass suggests that any discovery is very helpful in the long run. On the other hand, “Cities of the Dead” by Denise Rinaldo tells the reader how the discoveries are not important unless you found everything about that topic. One thing all these stories do have in common is that they all share the idea that findings from the ancient times can give us a better understanding of our origins.
Hatshepsut does the rare things not many rulers do in Egypt. She created and restored monuments instead of focusing on expansion. “ Oversaw many ambitious building projects, mostly the temple of Deir el-Bahri located in western Thebes, where she is buried.” ( http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/hatshepsut)Hatshepsut also ordered two giant obelisks to be created at Karnak.
