The Russian Tzars produced hemophiliacs in their bloodline due to the same thing.
He may have had all those things, but he RULED!
This ancient reptile often had a runny nasal passage and persistent scratchy throat.

Who is General Custer?
“girlish hips, a club foot and buck teeth”
Sounds like on of my old girlfriends.
Throw in an eye patch a peg leg and a neatly trimmed beard and you’d have the whole thing.
I’ve always wondered why the Ptolemys didn’t get what happens when guys marry their sisters-they didn’t come from Egypt-they just sailed over and conquered it-but they must have noticed something not quite right with members of the royal family there. Greeks were and philosophers and mathematicians, but they can’t have had much common sense...
Maybe the King Tut of the Batman television series wasnt so far off...

Kim Kardashian lookalike?
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?
The boy could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.
Is this how muzzies got the idea of inbreeding?
Many have the facial expression like that of King Tut.
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.
