MY QUESTIONS

Q.why did they have arranged mirages with in family in  ancient  Egypt ?


A. They had mirages with in family because it was to keep power with in the thrown.


 FACT: Mostly it was the royal family that married with in family which were arranged marriages.
the royal family married with in family to keep the power to the thrown. Witch meant that they would
marry brother or sister or even with in cousins. they probably did not marry out side the family because
they would have to share the thrown with in two families. Families that were not royalty would usually
mean a sign of wealth because having a family was very hard especially for a man because he would have to work hard in order to have food , shelter , and what ever the family needed .
