True 9/10
“After the Battle of Actium, Octavian invaded Egypt in 30 BC and annexed Egypt as a Roman province, ending the rule of Cleopatra VII Philopator.”
The historical record strongly supports this account. After Actium, Octavian campaigned in Egypt in 30 BC, took Alexandria, and Cleopatra VII’s rule ended that year as Egypt passed into Roman control. The main caveat is administrative: Egypt became an unusually governed Roman province under Octavian’s personal authority, not a typical senatorial province.

“Cleopatra lived closer in time to the first moon landing in 1969 than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.”
This claim is true. Cleopatra died in 30 BCE, roughly 2,000 years before the 1969 moon landing. The Great Pyramid of Giza was completed around 2500–2570 BCE, placing it roughly 2,450–2,540 years before Cleopatra. Since the gap to the pyramid is consistently several centuries larger than the gap to the moon landing, Cleopatra indeed lived closer in time to the Apollo 11 mission than to the construction of the Great Pyramid.
