    From this chapter, I can see that history is the history written by human beings. Van Loon’s view on the last Egyptian queen and Cleopatra are very different from those I read in another history book before. The author’s evaluation is partial to praise, and believes that she seduced the invaders with her beauty to help Egypt continue its rule, but another book records that she seduced the Roman invaders only to survive and continue to enjoy the treatment of the queen, and only used her as a foil tool to show Augustus’ ambition.
