Given how fond the Egyptian royalty were of their incestuous lifestyles, it is rather surprising that their tombs still did not end up being the go-to reference for all kinds of nasty genetic deviations. On the other hand, this note does not mention that the woman came from any sort of noble family, and the ordinary people of Egypt presumably did not engage in inbreeding to the same degree, their bloodlines being of no importance.
