DNA studies show a frail King Tut succumbed to malaria and a broken leg

Egypt's famed King Tutankhamun suffered from a cleft palate and club foot, likely forcing him to walk with a cane, and died from complications from a broken leg exacerbated by malaria, according to the most extensive study ever of his mummy.

The findings were from two years of DNA testing and CT scans on 16 mummies, including those of Tutankhamun and his family, the team that carried out the study said in an article to be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

I was also thinking about all that inbreeding down here in Louisiana, too. I’ve got some of those first cousins in the family tree. My excuse for being the way I am—mentally.

Whoaaa!! This just changes the whole climate change paradigm and raises new questions about how dinosaurs lived.

Just when you think the important stuff is being ignored!

Geeez...hasn’t anyone heard of HIPAA around here?

I expect a lawsuit shortly, followed by a plague and swarms of locusts.

Oh, never mind...no plague and locusts, just lawyers...the 21st Century equivalent.

Information about King Tut raises new questions about how dinosaurs lived?

Yeah, because we all know King Tut liked to ride the dinosaurs, maybe it was a dinosaur that kicked him and broke his leg, I heard a moosetadon bit his sister once. ;)
