Marriages and children between full siblings has been confirmed by genetic testing. Father-daughter incest was also at times accepted during the dynastic period. Sibling marriages among commoners is found regularly in censuses from the Roman era of Egypt. It is also noted as a part of Egyptian culture by Greek and Roman writers. The nature of these marriages are disputed, with some historians arguing that they can be explained by adoption.
