10 Real-Life Events Which Need To Become TV Shows

Cleopatra VII remains one of the most famous rulers of Ancient Egypt, and her story (or, at least, parts of it) has been told and retold countless times. The notorious beauty has been portrayed by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, and her romances with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony have captured the attention of readers and audiences throughout history.

However, Cleopatra was not the only interesting ruler of the Ptolemy dynasty, and her early life is just as juicy as the salacious scandals which afflicted her later years.

A common practice amongst the Ptolemy dynasty was marriage between siblings, and many historians agree that Cleopatra likely married her brother, Ptolemy XIII, who later became an adversary.

Not content with just one sibling marriage, Cleopatra later married another brother, Ptolemy XIV, whose murder she later arranged. Such intrafamilial disputes and conflict were typical amongst the family, and this drama would provide nail-bitingly good TV.
