With strong features cast in burnished gold, Tutankhamun’s burial mask projects an image of majestic beauty and royal power. But in the flesh, King Tut had buck teeth, a club foot and girlish hips, according to the most detailed examination ever of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh’s remains. And rather than being a boy king with a love of chariot racing, Tut relied on walking sticks to get around during his rule in the 14th century BC, researchers said.

Sounds like a liberal.
Girlish hips?
Obama is wondering why hat’s a bad thing.
King Tut’s medical problems do bring up the same questions about another modern day “dynasty”.
Who are the parents of Kim Jung Ill and of his son?
Weren’t they all “ill”? Why isn’t anyone investigating their DNA?
Yeah, but the real question is, "Would Laz Hit It?".
Nicholas II, George V, and Wilhelm II were all first cousins. The close intermarriage of European royalty kicked off the recessive strain.

Is this how muzzies got the idea of inbreeding?
Many have the facial expression like that of King Tut.
Thanks Perdogg. He had one thing going for him -- his rushed burial was concealed by the excavation of a later tomb. Oh, two things -- the thieves who tunneled into the outer chamber of his tomb during antiquity were apparently caught and didn't or couldn't return to their work.
Thanks Perdogg. One of *those* topics.

Sounds like on of my old girlfriends.....You old heart breaker !! Whatever happened to her anywho?
The reason for the inbreeding was, the pharaoh’s successor had to come from the same womb (that’s their phrase), so the male pharaohs (that’s almost all of them) had to father their heirs on sisters, cousins, and in at least one possible instance, with their own mothers.
One of my great aunts used to piss off my grandfather with an old taunting rhyme, “a mother can always claim her own, a father takes his on faith alone.” They weren’t even married. ;’)
Oh yeah, and I neglected to mention Hatshepsut, a woman who ruled as a man for a time, beginning her rule as regent for her nephew and eventual successor. She began her ceremonial (one would hope) role in this kooky scheme as wife to her father, then her brother, then her nephew.
Finally (as is confirmed by all surviving ancient sources who speak of it at all) she got knocked up by her court favorite and architect of her famous Deir el Bahari temple. He’s portrayed together with their daughter, and she’s also portrayed with her mother and perhaps was being groomed as successor.
The daughter’s tomb, though ransacked (probably in antiquity, but who knows, I’m pretty sure it’s never been cleared, catalogued, or examined by specialists), was located up the face of a cliff well west of the Valley, by none other than Howard Carter, excavator of Tut’s tomb. Hatshepsut’s mummy was identified (convincingly and brilliantly, imho, even though Zahi “Zowie” Hawass was involved) a few years ago, basically by her dental records. :’)
The architect’s tomb was found, unfinished, his remains were never found, and probably weren’t preserved. I’d guess he was quietly executed, or even quietly murdered and dumped somewhere.
I’d say most folks back then had HORRIBLE teeth, as long as they kept them.
Likely everyone during that time lost all of their teeth during their 30s. Of course, the average life span back then was probably 50 something years old. lol
We can be sure there was no such thing as braces, so those with teeth just had to live with however their ‘adult teeth’ happened to grow in.
Effie Klinker...one of Bergen’s least known dummies...King Tut..LOL

GOD! That thing just infuriates me every time I see it!!

Thank you.
Egyptians ate a lot of bread, and the bread had bits of the stone used for grinding the grain, leading to tooth enamel loss, and (as in the case of Hatshepsut) death by tooth decay.
Note: this topic is from . A re-ping. Thanks C19fan.
