  • Cleopatra Meets Marilyn Monroe
    Jul 16 2025

    In the premiere episode of History’s Afterlife, Cleopatra VII and Marilyn Monroe encounter each other in the afterlife—and discover just how much they have in common.

    👑 Cleopatra: The last pharaoh of Egypt. Brilliant linguist, political strategist, and master of image.

    🌟 Marilyn Monroe: Global movie icon. Intelligent, ambitious, and trapped inside a persona she created to survive.

    Separated by 2,000 years but united by fame, performance, and the burden of myth, these two women explore what it means to be remembered—for the right reasons, or the wrong ones.

    In this imagined conversation, we uncover:

    • The reality behind Cleopatra’s reign and Monroe’s Hollywood stardom
    • How both women used performance as a survival strategy
    • The personal costs of becoming a symbol
    • What legacy truly means when you’re more legend than human

    📚 Perfect for fans of:

    • Women’s history & feminist perspectives

    • Ancient Egypt & 20th-century Hollywood

    • Historical fiction & character-driven audio drama

    • Philosophical reflection on fame, power, and identity
