dear Cleo Cheever,
I heard you that you were going to finally use your time machine to go and visit the medieval times of Europe and I wanted to give you some advice and suggestions.
The best thing to do is to go in the mind of a nobleman; you should get a job in government and buy a chunk of land. Get married to a knight's daughter and show the noblemen new and more efficient ways of building. Explain to them that bathing and taking care of their personal hygiene can keep you living longer. I wish you the best of luck!


yours truly,

Te'Kara

Cleopatra VII

Cleopatra had her plans for Egypt, she wanted to win back the lands that Egypt once held in Syria and Palestine. She wanted to Julius Caesar's help because Rome was the strongest power in the Mediterranean. She became romantically involved with Mark Antony, a Roman general and had been Caesar's friend. He moved to Alexandria with her.









They got married and had three children together - twins Alexander and Selene, and a son Ptolemy. Even though she was in love she didn't forget her place as the ruler of Egypt. She learned how to speak Egyptian for political reason, she wanted to win back lands that Egypt had once held in Syria and Palestine, she even went to war with her brother to become the official ruler of all Egypt. Cleopatra was complex, but was a very good leader.
