Oh our war is over, our Queen has met her doom
Cleopatra
A bit off topic, but 2 points to make .
1. Egypt at that point had been conquered and miscigenated out of existence. The royal family had been raped and replaced by Greeks, Persians, Assyrians, etc. The people kicking it in Egypt during Ceasars time hardly looked like you or I. At that point in history most of us (who actually trace back to Kemet) had moved inland to get away from cacs.
There are a sht ton of migration patterns you can find online. So, she ain't really our queen like that.
2. Cleopatra was a common term/title for royal women in the Egypt, not necessarily just this one. If you really want a Cleo queen that badly, there are other fine black queens in Egyptian history. Especially in those eras when Nubia had to go up there and clean up the place.

speaking of libraries ...
Genghis Khan’s grandson burned the library of Baghdad called the House of Wisdom which housed a lot of great information.
they studied alchemy there and is where modern chemistry gets its foundation.
the guy who invented algebra studied there.
plus a lot of modern medical and astronomy finds were housed there.
between the losses of the library of Alexandria and the library of Baghdad, society took a huge L
EDIT : forgot to add, in addition to the House of Wisdom being completely destroyed, the scientists and philosophers who were there were also killed and the invading Mongol army used the leather covers of their books for sandals.

A lot of these conquerors had a thing for burning down knowledge
I can't praise that, who knows what we could have known
Probably had to do with the history of Africans in their lands of conquest

Random and off topic:
the idea of “BC” is wild. Like people living in that time were counting backwards to zero or some shyt
Louis Ck had a great standup monologue about this
of course it was him
it was so that Rome would be the sole purveyor of knowledge

This is what saddens me the most about wars/conquest/etc. All the knowledge that is lost. There's probably tons of stuff that was lost during the Inquisition in Europe too, plus when Euros invaded the Americas, and I think I remember some Chinese Imperor (or whatever their real title was back in the day) destroying a huge library with tons of philosophical works. I read that Confucius is basically known because he was one of the fews whose works didn't disappear, not necessarily because he was their GOAT philosopher. Don't know how much that is true though.
Friends, Romans, Coli Breh... Lend me your ears.
I come to bury Cesar not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them, the good is often interred with their bones ... So let it be with Cesar.
