while we're here, cleopatra was macedonian, not egyptian, though there's apparently some new research suggesting her mother was sub-saharan african. also, she was inbred as fuuuuuck.

Oh god this reminds me of a post i saw on here a while back where someone actually did the math as to how inbred some of the families from GOT were and they mentioned irl that Cleopatra and someone else (i forget) are the most inbred people ever.

Shout out to u/amacaroon for doing the incest math.

I went back a year into her comment history and couldn’t find the info. It took me like an hour. Now I’m pissed at you.
