How do egyptians enter the position to be a king?

Answer 1

During some periods of ancient Egyptian history, kingship was somehow carried down through the matriarchal line, and bestowed upon a man when he married the daughter of a Pharaoh, even though there was only one woman, Hatshepsut, who ever claimed and held on to pharaonic authority. This did cause some close-breeding problems when a pharaoh wanted his son to succeed him. He had to marry a pharaoh's daughter to legitimize his claim.
