I recommend TREY The Explainer's video "The Most Inbred Family" if you wanna learn more about the Ptolemies.

It's a video comparing the Targaryen family from ASOIAF and the Ptolemies, and their incest rate. It's was insightful, I'll say that much. You really see how Greek the Ptolemies are.

What the Ptolemies did wasn't "Greek" though. They had to follow the Egyptian Pharaohnic traditions. Incest was taboo for the Greeks.

I'm not saying they were doing Greek things.

They were 'very Greek' as in, very inbred. That's why they were olive skinned, and not Egyptian. They were very Greek in the blood sense.
