Genealogies
Genealogy played an important role in Ancient Egypt for religious, social, legal, and chronological reasons. Despite a paucity of words to describe relationships, the Egyptians sought to commemorate their family and ancestors in their tombs and on stelae and statuary. This desire not only includes royalty and official families, but is evident in non-elite contexts as evidenced at the tomb-builders settlement of Deir el-Medina and later Demotic contracts. The most detailed surviving genealogies come from the Late New Kingdom and can be used as checks on the chronology of the time.
