Generally speaking, the royal families of ancient Egypt used heredity to select the next ruler when the Pharaoh or Queen died. This system was in place for hundreds of centuries. The few times these chains of ruler ship were broken had to do events such as civil wars or the failure of a Pharaoh to carry on traditional Egyptian values.
