Speaking of Nubia, isn't that where the pyramids first came from?
Called Kush, there were pyramids on a much smaller scale during the Kush.ite Merotic Dynasty. The Kush and Nubians, we call Sudanese and Somali today. Actually the Kush.ite kingdom patterened itself very closely on Egyptian art, culture and religion. During theXXV Egyptian Dynasty, the Egyptians invited the kings of Kush to come and rule them. The most famous of the Kush.ite Pharoahs was Taharqa the "builder." But even though the Nubian Kush stretches back in time to remote ages the Pyramids in Nubian Kush are much younger than the Old Kingdom pyramids in Egypt .Speaking of Nubia, isn't that where the pyramids first came from?
It's not only the Egyptian royal history that is full of incest, so is both the Egyptian and Greek mythologies. If being familiar with myths and stories full of incest I wouldn't think that the step to actually marrying a family member is that far away, especially when living in a country where royal incest was accepted and almost expected.What I don't understand is, why did the Greek Ptolemy family suddenly embrace Ancient Egyptian practice of royal incest? And from that point on, marry their own siblings, in some cases father-daughter marriages, and even multiple marriages (ie, two brothers married to the same sister, simultaneously.
