What did the name Cleopatra mean?


The name Cleopatra ment "The one who brings joy to her family" . I don't really know her but that sounds really COOL!!! I don't like snakes but, she does. I even would not even comit suicide!!

How She Died!


Cleopatra is dead now. Some people still dont know what happened, So I'll tell you. She died of a snake bite. What type of snake you may ask. King Cobra. WOW!!! Look at those FANGS!!!! Those must hurt. I wonder how it felt? So back to the story she forced the snake to bite her. OUCH!!!! Rather to be forced to walk in chains, through the streets of Rome both Antony and Cleopatra killed their selfs.
