China Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 King Tut's 'virtual autopsy' reveals surprises (CNN) -- King Tutankhamun's golden, mummified remains tell only a partial story of an ancient Egyptian boy king who died under mysterious circumstances. But a new "virtual autopsy" of King Tut's body, shown in an upcoming BBC One documentary, has given historians a clearer picture of the young man's life -- and death. Scientists used CT scans to recreate the first life-size image of Tutankhamun, one of the last rulers of the 18th Dynasty. King Tut ruled from 1333 B.C. until about 1323 B.C. Historians put his age at death at about 19. Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2010 showed that King Tut may have died of malaria, possibly after suffering an infection in his broken leg. As seen in the new virtual autopsy photo, Tutankhamun's left foot was also severely deformed; the inward angle suggests that he had a clubfoot. Researchers believe the boy king had Kohler disease, a rare bone disorder. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Interesting about the Kohler's disease. DNA analysis recently confirmed that Tut was the son of Akhenaten (one of the most interesting Pharoahs and perhaps the father of monotheism), who also had bodily deformities.

Destino Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The thought of a teenage king is disturbing. On the bright side, at least it kept him from being bullied. The further back you go the meaner people were, and that dude had a club foot and boobs. Interesting about the Kohler's disease.

The further back you go the meaner people were, and that dude had a club foot and boobs.If he was king for 10 years and he died when he was 19, he was a damn child king. Reminds me of that awesome HBO series Rome and the little **** child pharaoh Cleopatra was beefing with in the first season. IIRC they were brother and sister. Might be wrong on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grhqofb5 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Never understood this guy. If I were pharoah and had to stare at the great pyramids all day every day I would not tell my servants to bury me in the side of a hill. I'd make them get off their asses and build me one. Or clean out the old one and put me in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
