Ancient Bloodlines: Ruling Family Continuity Through History

Ruling families may trace lineages back further than publicly acknowledged, maintaining power through strategic intermarriage and hidden institutional networks.

Documented facts: European royalty is extensively intermarried (most current monarchs descend from Queen Victoria). Burke's Peerage research shows many US presidents share common ancestry. Banking dynasties (Rothschild, Warburg, etc.) practiced strategic intermarriage. Ancient pharaonic succession involved deliberate sibling marriage for 'purity.'

Questions: How far back do these lineages actually extend? Is there deliberate genetic selection or preservation? What is the real significance attributed to bloodline by these families? What connections exist between aristocratic lineages and mystery school initiation traditions?

Initial probability: 60% that elite family continuity is more deliberate and ancient than publicly acknowledged.
