Incest in Ancient Egypt

Abstract

There are many controversies that surround the problem of incest in Ancient Egypt. One of them is belief that incest was practiced exclusively by the Royal families, which is incorrect. I will try to show that at this time we don’t have satisfactory explanation of this kind of behavior, but that there are interesting suggestions for further research.Postoje mnoge kontroverze koje okružuju problem incesta u Starom Egiptu. Jedna od njih je verovanje da je incest praktikovan isključivo od strane kraljevskih porodica, što je pogrešno. Pokušaću da pokažem da trenutno nemamo zadovoljavajuće objašnjenje ove vrste ponašanja, ali da postoje interesantni predlozi za dalje istraživanje.
