Incestuous relationships, as a cultural feature, is usually dismissed for both ancient Egypt and Iran on the grounds that the evidence for it is unreliable or that it is only found as the exception, being allowed for royalty as repre-sentatives of the divine on earth. Neither view, from the perspective of this study, is tenable. This book restricts its examination to the sources for incestuous relationships between members of non-royal nuclear families and puts forth arguments against the generally held axiom that the prohibition of incest is a universal phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul John Frandsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8763507781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788763507783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum Tusculanum Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 136","brand":"Paul John Frandsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066400715007,"sku":"9788763507783","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33534bde-6473-47f7-b137-238dcf0e7c10.jpg?v=1768678292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-incestuous-and-close-kin-marriage-paul-john-frandsen-9788763507783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
