: I think what threw me on that "story" was the bit about Cleopatra
: being alive at the time the great pyramids were built. Not even
: close.

LOL! I had the same response. A pretty story is one thing, but
glaring historical inaccuracies make me grind my teeth. :-P

: If anyone is interested in Cleopatra, I have a book about her
: somewhere around here - quite good. Give a biography, then traces
: the evolution of her image throughout the centuries. I don't
recall
: it mentioning henna, but it's been a few years since I read it.

Wow, I'd love the name of that! The whole historical figure vs.
popular image thing is pretty interesting... especially with someone
as popularized/fantasized as Cleopatra.
