Qaluptra

Egypt's fascinating history is incomplete without the mention of Qaluptra. Qaluptra has been given titles such as the Goddess of Beauty, the symbol of infidelity and the poisonous serpent, but modern research has often disproved it. People have been mixing traditions in history, which has led to many misunderstandings. Of all the famous things about it, only one is true.

She was very beautiful.

Qaluptra was the last ruler of the 33rd dynasty to rule Egypt. His ancestor was General Ptolemy of Alexander the Great. He had established his rule over Egypt by declaring independence on the death of Alexander the Great. These families ruled Egypt for three hundred years.

She was 17 years old when Qaluptra's father died in 51 BC.

According to Egyptian custom, the eldest daughter of the family could inherit the throne, but according to custom, she had to marry her younger brother, so she had to marry her 12-year-old brother Ptolemy XII of Qaluptra, and the two together ascended the Egyptian throne. Happened

In the third year of his reign, at the instigation of other emperors, Ptolemy took full control of the government and exiled Qaluptra.

Meanwhile, Julius Caesar, the famous Roman general, had reached Alexander the Great in pursuit of his rival, and at the royal palace of Alexandria, Qalu Patra's brother was flattering him.

Qaluptra went to Syria and gathered an army to retake her kingdom, but she knew that unless there was a major power behind her, she could not get the Egyptian government back.

To that end, he decided to approach Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome, the greatest military power of all time.

Qaluptra somehow found out that Julius Caesar was a lover of beauty. Qaluptra herself was very beautiful. He decided to gamble. If Qaluptra had lost in this gamble she would have lost her life and if she had won in this gamble then the throne and crown of Egypt would have been hers.

He came up with a plan. He wrapped himself in a rug and delivered it to Julius through his special man. It was quite possible that Les Caesar would seize him and hand him over to his brother and kill him, but Qaluptra was so confident in her beauty and Julius Caesar's beauty that she decided to play her last address. Taken

The carpet was opened in front of Julius Caesar and Qaluptra was found in it. Julius Caesar came to Egypt in pursuit of his rival Pompey. He was overthrown and became the most powerful man in Rome. He should have arrived in Rome immediately to take care of the affairs there, but he lost himself in the lust of Qaluptra.

Qaluptra took the opportunity to take his brother away. Now there was no wall in his way.

According to tradition, after becoming the queen of Egypt, this time Qulu Patra had to marry her 11-year-old brother Ptolemy XV. After bringing government affairs to a standstill, she went to Rome with Julius Caesar and became the queen of his heart. Julius Caesar gave birth to a son at Qaluptra who later became Ptolemy XV.

In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated by some close comrades. After Caesar's assassination, Qaluptra returned to Egypt. It is said that after returning to Egypt, he poisoned and killed Ptolemy IV.

After the death of Julius Caesar, civil war broke out in Rome, with Julius Caesar's close friend Mark Anthony appearing as a party.

Qaluptra refrained from supporting any one side in the war, to which Mark Anthony summoned her to seek an explanation of his behavior, but when Qaluptra appeared before him with her beauty paraphernalia, He too fell in love with her and took her to Egypt.

After spending some time with Qaluptra, Mark Anthony was forced to return to Rome.

After he left, Qaluptra gave birth to twins.

In 32 BC, Octavian, who later became Caesar Augustus, declared war on Mark Anthony. In 31 BC, when the defeat of Mark Anthony became apparent, Qaluptra persuaded Mark Anthony to return to Egypt with him, but before this intention could be put into practice, it was a lie to Mark Anthony. It was reported that Qaluptra had been killed.

Heartbroken, Anthony committed suicide.

Octavian rose closer to Egypt on a daily basis. Qaluptra was informed that Octavian wanted to exhibit it in the markets of Rome as a memorial to his conquest of Egypt, so he committed suicide by biting himself with a snake.

Thus ended a chapter in the history of Egypt. Thanks to her tumultuous life, Qaluptra not only survived in the pages of history, but many famous writers made it a part of their writings. Popular works on the subject of Qaluptra include Shakespeare's Anthony and Qaluptra, John Dryden's Darma All Farlow and Jarn Bernard Shaw's play Caesar and Qulu Patra.
