Abstract
Despite the fact that Egyptian gods and kings were married to their sisters and that rare cases of brother-sister marriages of people of non-royal background are known from the Late Period, it is assumed that such marriages were not possible in earlier periods. However, the examination of a well-known case of adoption from the Ramesside period shows that from the legal point of view, and regardless of their commonality, such marriages were at least acceptable and legally permitted. This paper examines evidence from Old and Middle Kingdom tombs, with likely cases found in those of Kaikhent of tomb A3 at el-Hammamiya, Wahi of el-Hagarsa, Ukhhotep of Tomb B2 at Meir, and Senbi of Tomb B3 at Meir.
