Under such a system, the pharaohs, as rulers, could even marry women regardless of moral principles. Even a pharaoh married his daughter and gave birth to children with her. What was the reason why such an ethical system was born?

In ancient China, it was common for close relatives to get married, and this is true for ordinary people's families. For rulers, in order to ensure the purity of the royal family's bloodline, the situation where the emperor married his cousin, niece, and even his father and concubine was commonplace.

But in fact, it is not only China, but also in , ancient Egypt, , also had a magical marriage system. Under such a system, the pharaohs, as rulers, could even marry women regardless of moral principles. Even a pharaoh married his daughter and gave birth to children with her. What was the reason why such an ethical system was born?

Ancient Egyptian pharaoh who pioneered the marriage of his daughter

First of all, the ancient Egyptian pioneered the marriage of blood relatives was a very cruel ruler of ancient Egypt. Because of his prominent status, Akalia married a beautiful woman from the same noble as his wife.

The two were very loving after marriage. Soon after, Akalia's wife gave birth to a baby girl, who looked very cute, Akalia named her Atana .

Shortly after Atana was born, Akalia began to fight everywhere to expand the territory of ancient Egypt, and did not return to ancient Egypt more than ten years later.

And over the past ten years, Atana grew up freely in the palace and was graceful. When she went out for a trip, she was targeted by the enemy country, so Atana was kidnapped.

Coincidentally, Akalia returned victoriously. After learning that her daughter Atana was kidnapped by the enemy, she once again marched into the empire and rescued her daughter.

The enemy was vulnerable and so he sought peace from Akalia. In order to show his sincerity, he also specially presented a woman to Akalia.

Akaria saw that the woman was beautiful and she was determined to be lustful, so she forcibly possessed the woman. Unexpectedly, when Akalia asked about her daughter's whereabouts, the enemy army told Akalia that the woman just now was her daughter Atana.

Akaria fell into the trap of the enemy, but at this point, she had to bite the bullet and marry his daughter Atana, who later gave birth to a son for Akaria.

This incident was very popular among the Egyptian people, but the people all agreed that this behavior was normal due to the imperial power and the absolute belief in the pharaoh rulers.

In order to ensure the pure

of the royal bloodline, the later ancient Egyptian pharaohs began to imitate Akaria. They would marry their close relatives, as their wives, reproduce and inherit civilization.

If Akalia married his daughter because she was trapped, then why would the later Pharaoh continue this behavior?

In ancient Egypt, Pharaohs always claimed to be the incarnation of gods . The purity of bloodline represents supreme power, and the royal family, as the most noble bloodline in the world, naturally would not flow into the fields of outsiders.

So in order to ensure the purity of bloodline , we will choose to breed offspring with flesh and blood. This is from a metaphysical perspective.

From a practical perspective, it is actually the case that the pharaoh did not leak out his royal power and did not involve other relatives too deeply, causing the pharaoh to interfere in politics and disrupt the government and the public. held the highest rule of ancient Egypt firmly in the hands of the royal family and ensured the absolute unity of the royal family.

Unlike China, women in ancient Egypt could inherit the throne and their family property. If a woman marrys outside, she will share the royal power and property with outsiders, which is a huge loss for the ancient Egyptian royal family.

Therefore, in ancient Egypt, ensured that the royal property was not divided , and pharaoh would marry his close relatives, would protect the interests of the royal family .

The impact of in-kind marriage on ancient Egyptian society

It is precisely because of the great influence of the royal family that the people of ancient Egypt have also begun to follow the example of the royal family's approach to getting married. The purpose is to ensure the purity of their family blood.

But modern times we all know that getting married in close relatives will have a very serious harmful impact on the next generation's genes and physical health.

Under the influence of the popular in ancient Egypt, the fertility rate has dropped significantly, and the children born also have many problems, making it difficult to grow up.

Generations of pharaohs were also very short in lifespan. In the end, the population of in ancient Egypt became smaller and smaller. If the country has no labor force, it will inevitably be swallowed up by other countries. Ancient Egypt destroyed .

Unlike ancient China, ancient Egypt had no moral and ethical constraints

. The people of ancient Egypt never understood from beginning to end that there was such a reason for the demise of the country.

In ancient China, there was a saying that has no marriage between the same surname and the same surname. During the , the period of the Shang Dynasty, there was a regulation that was not married within the five generations of .

Han Dynasty Han Huidi was forced to marry her niece Zhang Yan as the queen, but Emperor Huidi Han believed that such an approach was contrary to human ethics, so she was still virgin until Zhang Yan died.

To of the Tang Dynasty, this system was formulated into a law, which explicitly stipulated that close relatives were prohibited from getting married. If there is any violation, will be punished with .

Although in-kins marriages were often seen during the Qing Dynasty period, in the late Qing Dynasty, the royal family had almost nothing, which proved the serious consequences of in-kins marriage.

To the present, Chinese Marriage Law stipulates that cannot get married in close relatives within three generations , which is also to avoid adverse consequences caused by in close relatives. After all, the lessons of history are too painful.
