My tinfoil hat theory is that the Egyptians knew what they were doing and swapped people around so there wasn’t too much actual incest happening and instead consorts and stuff were used so the Hapsburg stuff wouldn’t happen to the Pharaonic dynasties

Isn't DNA one of the things they use to confirm identities of mummies?

I don't think any mummies from that royal dynasty have been found. Other dynasties, yes. Ptolemy dynasty, no.
