About this listen
Cleopatra and the pyramids — we usually picture them together. But here’s the mind-bending truth: the Great Pyramid of Giza was already ancient history by the time Cleopatra was born. In fact, Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the iPhone than to the construction of the pyramids.
In this Brain Bites: History episode, we explore the real world of Cleopatra — her cosmopolitan Alexandria, her political genius, and her fight to keep Egypt independent against the rise of Rome. Along the way, we uncover why the way we picture “ancient Egypt” is more myth than reality, and what this timeline twist tells us about how we see history itself.
