see, this is the kind of thing that's just baffling.

gal gadot is greek.

you know what kids?

cleopatra was also greek.

it's actually a good match - and anybody arguing otherwise is actually demonstrating a startling amount of ignorance about egyptian history.

egypt was conquered by alexander the great, a greek (technically macedonian) general, about the year -330. it had previously been conquered by the persians about the year -525. so, when the greeks took over, they were conquering what was a province of the large persian empire. alexander placed a greek general called ptolemy in charge of egypt, who married into the existing persian ruling class. cleopatra was one of the last descendants of the achaemenid-ptolemaic line.

she was pasty white - and that is not a point of contention, that is well established historical fact.

deal with it.
