With her voice, like an instrument of many strings, she could pass from one language to another," Greek biographer Plutarch gushed about Cleopatra, noting that the Egyptian queen spoke no less than 9 languages. Even though Cleopatra was born in Egypt, she was about as Egyptian as Elizabeth Taylor. Her Macedonian Greek family, the Ptolemies, ruled over Egypt for centuries, but Cleopatra was the first and only Ptolemy to bother to learn the language of the 7 million people who called her their queen. A gesture of respect and a great political move: she was able to communicate directly with her troops. Sadly, no writings by Cleopatra have survived, but she did play an interesting role in our understanding of hieroglyphics, once considered 'the language of the gods'. Said to be created by Seshat, the leopard skin-wearing goddess of wisdom and writing, the meaning of the sacred symbols had been lost to us until the discovery of the Rosetta stone in 1799. After trying to decode its secrets for 20 years, a breakthrough took place when scientists realized the name 'Cleopatra' was written not in symbolic but phonetic hieroglyphics. Now that the Queen of Letters had handed us a golden key, we could start unraveling the mysteries of the past.
