I always kinda doubted that the Ptolemies would be that fanatically concerned with keeping themselves inbred.
talk about a cold case
Common practice to kill off the siblings to eliminate threats.
Would you actually call an ordered execution by one in command(even an unjust one) a murder?
Thanks RDTF.

So when they were marrying their brother, it was only thier half brother more than likely. Still weird, but not as bad as full bro/sis breeding. I wonder if the legend is true about her having six fingers.

This Dynasty inbred, so there is no way they were of African or native Egyptian origins. They are basing their theory on the shape of a skull that is according to them ‘long shaped’ so she has to be African because only Africans have long shaped skulls. That its, that is their only ‘evidence’ as to why they believe she was ‘mixed’: the shape of a long skull that they don’t even have anymore. Now there’s illogic for you. The crucial skull, on which the ethnic arguments are based, was lost, so they basically don’t have the skull to begin with. A major fundamental reason WHY her mother COULD NOT have been of ‘African’ or native Egyptian origins is the fact that the only way a Ptolemy inherits the throne was if the mother had a direct blood descendant to the Greco-Macedonian Dynasties, and a phantom ‘African’ or native Egyptian woman would NOT have direct bloodline to the Greco-Macedonian Dynasties because she would NOT be of Greco-Macedonian origins. Even IF the man produced children off some African or native Egyptian women those women would not be of the royal Greco-Macedonian bloodline therefore neither would their child therefore any supposed claims on the Ptolemaic royal throne could not happen, therefore the mother HAD to be of Greco-Macedonian bloodline both on her maternal and paternal lineages. Their system was similar to the old Hebrew practice that one can be a true Hebrew ONLY thru ones mother’s lineage, if the mother was not Hebrew then so was her children viewed as ‘not Hebrew’...but god forbid the Political Correctness of modern world discloses a European Dynasty who ruled a N. African country and who were so xenophobic they it was common practice to marry within their own kind to preserver their royal bloodlines makes such unmulticultural claims...it ISN’T the PC thing to do nowadays. LOL!!
