I think we can criticise netflix's Cleopatra without falling into nazi dogwhistles
#or rather nazi loudspeakers at this point lmao#@everyone saying this is afrocentrism/blackwashing ur wrong lol#i think this is just another side of american centrism and to a certain extent chauvinism#the kind that likes to portray itself as progressive but excludes the narratives to whom this history really belongs to#like i havent seen the doc in full but from the bits ive seen i dont think they consultes egyptian or greek#historians archaeologists egyptologists etc#+ they have colleen darnell in there and while i dont think shes bad her area of expertise isnt ptolemaic egypt#i dont doubt she knows her share of things about that period but thats a bit like making a documentary about the modern period#and having a historian who is an expert on the late roman empire/early middle ages in the pannel#+ shes mostly known for being a bit of a fashion influencer who happens to be an egyptologist#over just being an egyptologist
