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?

Re: Cleopatra's cult to Aset
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.

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

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.

Interesting Facts about Cleopatra
*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. Science has reinforced the legend of Cleopatra's beauty, showing that bathing in milk relaxes the body and softens the [color:194e=#009900 ! important][color:194e=#009900 ! important]skin, the early scientist Pythagoras being the first to recognize the positive effects.

First fact regarding milk:
*Is from a cow or some other mother mammal
*The cow represents,( in symbolism ) mother .
*Milk is the first thing every child of a mammal eats/ drinks when it is born.
*mothers milk is mainly the best nourishment a child can have, because the body takes only the best nourishment from the mothers body .
*and the child also gets the mothers immune system while the Child still consumes her milk .
