Lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary wants the platform shut down in Egypt for its depiction of the ancient leader

Netflix sued for turning Cleopatra black

Egyptian lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary has sued Netflix over its depiction of
the ancient Egyptian leader Cleopatra as black in the forthcoming
documentary film ‘Queen Cleopatra’. He demanded that the streaming giant
be shut down in Egypt in a complaint filed with the Public Prosecutor on Tuesday.

Calling for the Netflix production team to be punished for participating
in a “crime,” al-Semary argued that the recently-released trailer flies
in the face of Egyptian history and promotes a divisive Afrocentrism.

“In order to preserve the Egyptian national and cultural identity among Egyptians all over the world there must be pride in the makings of such work,” the attorney said, adding that most of Netflix’s offerings “do
not conform to Islamic and societal values and principles, especially
Egyptian ones.”

The complaint also accuses Netflix and the makers of ‘Queen Cleopatra’
of “forgery.” Actress Adele James, who portrays the iconic Egyptian
queen in the film, vowed to block all detractors on social media after
Twitter users accused her of cultural appropriation.

Former Egyptian Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass condemned the
production last week for “falsifying facts,” pointing out that
“Cleopatra was Greek, meaning that she was blonde, not black.”

Calling on Egyptians to speak out against Netflix’s revisionism, Hawass excoriated the trend that has emerged in some American black populations
of claiming the Egyptian civilization actually came from black Africa.

“Netflix is trying to stir up confusion to spread false information that
the origin of Egyptian civilization is black,” he said, insisting such
claims were categorically false.

Egyptian temples from the era depict the civilization’s kings as
racially distinct from the African, Nubian, Libyan, and Asian enemies
they are illustrated in combat with, Hawass pointed out. He explained
that Egypt did not fall under the leadership of black Africans until the Kingdom of Kush – the 25th dynasty, at the end of the civilization now
known as Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra was of Macedonian Greek origin, as
were her ancestors, the Ptolemaic dynasty, who had ruled Egypt for
nearly three centuries by the time of her reign. All are depicted as
black in the documentary.

A Change.org petition launched by two Egyptians calling on Netflix to
cancel the miniseries for “falsifying history” attracted over 85,000 signatures in under two days before the platform mysteriously removed it.

Produced by actress Jada Pinkett Smith, the film is set to air next
month as part of Netflix’s ‘African Queens’ series.
