Question

1. who could an egyptian pharaoh marry? why was this a problem for the continuation of the royal line?

Explanation:

An Egyptian pharaoh could marry family members like sisters, daughters (in some cases, though less common), or other relatives, often to keep royal blood pure. This was a problem for the royal line because inbreeding increased the risk of genetic disorders, reduced fertility, and weakened the health of heirs, threatening the stability and continuation of the dynasty.

Answer:

An Egyptian pharaoh could marry relatives (e.g., sisters, sometimes daughters). Inbreeding caused genetic disorders, reduced fertility, and weakened heirs, threatening the royal line's continuation.
