Cleopatra's cult to Aset

I have a doubt I would like to share. The cult of Cleopatra to Aset, is well known. Could it be, that Cleopatra was in fact an Asetianist, or even an Asetian?

Sorry, I only meant Asetian.

Personally I have no idea. I don't have enough information to give a valuable opinion. But I believe both options are open, and not just Asetian. There were certainly many important Asetianists throughout history.

That's a very interesting question.

It is...

I wish we would know more.

I don't know why, but she was always very "appealing" to me.

She was always very appealing to me too AndreiaLi, when I have time I am going to look up some info about her...I am kind of dusty on that subject. I need to start studying my Ancient Egyptian history again!

I am also a little rusty and need to learn more on Egyptian history. Cleopatra always appealed to me too, and one of my favorite stories is Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra. Maybe it appeals because of the connection with Egypt.

An off course she was famous for her milk bath
*Milk Baths:

The history of the milk bath begins with Cleopatra, who was renowned in antiquity for her radiant beauty. This beauty was said to have been because of the Queen bathing in milk scented with honey, lavender, or rose petals. Some sources even suggest that strawberries and raspberries were used on occasion to scent her bath. It is said that Cleopatra's boat was so fragrant with rose petals that Mark Antony smelled the perfume before he saw the vessel itself. It is no stretch of the imagination to consider the fact that Cleopatra probably shared baths with both her lovers- Caesar and Antony.
