“There’s a wall painting showing him smooching one daughter (in profile like this), while another daughter is looking up at her mother and pointing at father. He was a creep.”
I see; you know just by the painting what the style & form of the flesh and blood kiss was. NOT.
I see; in western culture no parents ever kiss their children on the lips. NOT true.
Maybe the creepiness is in your head.
The pharaoh was bangin’ his own daughters, but thanks for the insult.
“King Tut was known to be the son of the ‘heretic’ pharaoh Akhenaten, who tried to reform the Egyptian religion during his rule. But the identity of his mother had been shrouded in mystery - until now.
The fact that his mother and father were brother and sister may seem bizarre today but incest was rife among the boy king’s family because pharaohs were believed to be descended from the gods.
Therefore it was an acceptable way of retaining the sacred bloodline. King Tut’s own wife Ankhesenpaaten, was his half-sister as they shared the same father. They were married when he was just ten.
But Dr Hawass’ team found generations of inbreeding took their toll on King Tut - the last of his great dynasty.
The bone disease he suffered runs in families and is more likely to be passed down if two first-degree relatives marry and have children, the study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows.”
So, Akhenaton was known to “keep it in the family”.
