Cleopatra VII
Cleopatra VII The last Petolmy kings
Queen Cleopatra VII is one of the most renowned queens known in the ancient world, and also one of the most celebrated queens of Egypt in its long history, witnessing one of the greatest ages the history of Egypt has to offer, for many historians believe she was the final monarch of the Pharaonic dynasty as well as the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and with the death of her reign, a new era began in Egypt with the arrival of the Romans in Egypt.
Cleopatra VII, in addition to being one of the most famous queens in history, is also one of the most controversial, and talk about her always contains some errors and exaggerations, especially regarding her appearance and skin color. The beginning of Queen Cleopatra VII's rule was when her father, Ptolemy XII, gave her the title of love for her father, which led to the continuation of the title that her father used, and secondly: it linked her to him as his legitimate heir, before she officially reached the ruler in 51 BC. After Ptolemy XII passed away, Cleopatra VII and his eldest son, Ptolemy XIII, inherited Egypt.
It has recently been suggested that Cleopatra may have ruled alone for the first year after her father's death. It is believed that no formal marriage ceremony took place between Ptolemy XIII and his sister, and that the two simply ruled together.
Cleopatra's name at the beginning of her reign came after her brother's, indicating that he was the dominant ruler. At the same time, Ptolemy XIII had acquired three new guardians: Pothinus, Achilles, and one of his tutors, Theodotus of Chios, a group that in turn planned to remove Cleopatra from power, which was actually achieved in 49 BC, when Ptolemy XIII was declared the sole ruler of Egypt.
However, it appears that Caesar of Rome's participation did not prolong this issue. Following his visit to Alexandria, Caesar, acting in his role as overseer of the execution of their father Ptolemy XII's will, ordered them to gather their forces and resolve their disagreements before bringing them before him for his decision rather than by using force. With the passing of Ptolemy XIII and Cleopatra's restoration to the throne, although with her younger brother Ptolemy XIV in tow, this issue likewise did not last long.

In the Ptolemaic era, it was called ‘Sin’ and the Nubians called it ‘Yaba Swan’. It was also known as the Land of Gold because it served as a great treasure or tomb for the kings of Nubia who lived there for thousands of years. Before the migration, Aswan's borders extended from Asna in the east to the border of Sudan in the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of Nubia, some Arab tribes settled there.
