Quote:A “virtual autopsy” has revealed that King Tutankhamun suffered a variety of health maladies because his parents were brother and sister.
Scientists tested the Egyptian pharaoh’s mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited only from the mother, to determine she was the sister of Akhenaten, who was proven Tutankhamun’s father by DNA testing done in 2010.
Three of Cleopatra's 4 grand parents were siblings.
The 4th sibling in that brood of 4 was Cleopatra's great grand mother.
Cleopatra's maternal grandmother is the daughter of Cleopatra's paternal grandfather.
Cleopatra's maternal grandfather is married to the daughter of his own brother.
Yes Cleopatra herself did not seem dimwitted or failed to attract Rome's best and brightest.
