From The Historians’ Desk Discord: a fun fact about Cleopatra that spirals into historical sass.
The claim: Cleopatra drank wine with crushed pearls. The chemistry checks out — calcium carbonate (pearls) + acid (wine) = carbon dioxide. Bubbles. The OP’s conclusion: “Call Cleopatra a trashy hoe all you want, but she was the trashy hoe who invented instant champagne. She was living in 3018 while everyone else was in 18.”
The response: @the-shaye-archives fires back: “You write like some trash raised in a gutter on skid row.”
The self-own: “Octavius paid you to write this post.”
🏛️ Greek connection: Cleopatra VII was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt — a Greek-Macedonian dynasty. She was a direct descendant of Ptolemy I, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. So this is Greek-adjacent history being debated in the most undignified way possible.
