I find that a pretty weird statement considering it's a well known fact Kings paid people to keep track of their family tree and history. It was all about keeping the royal blood line going and pure. Yep they bred only with others who they deemed were from royal stock.
This is well known in Egypt and many other Ancient civilizations. Even the English Royal bloodline has had to be seen to be pure. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Kate Middleton maybe the first commoner to marry a royal in a long, long time.

The Egyptian genealogies go back to about 3000 BC. The harder ones to find are in between 5200 - 3000 BC but they still have records of these, however they are incomplete and only theoretical.

If your line came from royalty you would have to prove to others that that is the case, especially when it came to marriage, position and title meant alot especially if you were just a carpenter who was a descendant of his peoples most famous king.

My own families genealogy goes back to 820 AD on my mothers side and about 1200 AD on my fathers.
