Aeka was due to marry her BROTHER and NOONE sees ANYTHING WRONG with
that arrangement?

Ancient Egypt was a wonderful place. One of the more civilized places of
the world in its time. The royal king and queen were brother and sister
separated in youth and brought together later for marriage and the next
generation. I'm sure that it wasn't a completely unique arrangement through
history. And even in our present day and age, we can marry our second
cousins easily. First cousins have been done too, though it's rarer. Don't
judge something like that. Just because current morality thinks it horrible
doesn't mean that previous or even future (although, I doubt future...)
generations won't decide that its a good idea.
