Tutankhamun died at a young age with a feminine physique. His closest relatives, including his father Akhenaten, his uncle or brother Smenkhkare and preceding 18th dynasty pharaohs Amenhotep III and Tuthmosis IV, all shared similar features and fates. While scholars tend to relate the deaths of these pharaohs to separate circumstances, Hutan Ashrafian suggests that the royal family may have had an inherited disorder: temporal lobe epilepsy.
Temporal lobe epilepsy is known to affect the release of hormones and sexual development. Tutankhamun was depicted with a feminine physique. Due to his short life, his representations are far less common than the widespread depictions of his father, Akhenaten. The rebellious pharaoh is often considered the world's first monotheist and was described by the great Egyptologist Henry Breasted as "the first individual in history." Akhenaten is notoriously depicted in innumerable representations with feminine curves and Mick Jagger-like lips. In Aspects of Monotheism (full book available for free in the BAS Library), Donald B. Redford describes the ruler's unique physique:Above all, Akhenaten had himself represented in a way that, even by the ancients, was not considered flattering: His skull seems malformed, with a lanternlike jaw and an over-heavy head on an elongated neck; and spindly legs support his curiously feminine torso.Epilepsy may have shaped more than just pharaonic physical features; one of the leading theories of Tutankhamun's death is based around a serious and infected leg fracture shortly before his death. Rather than presenting an alternative form of death, the epileptic hypothesis presents a seizure-prone king, more susceptible to physical injury due to his illness.

I won't speculate that he was an alien, but...
Good luck! Hope you find it. Send a post card when you can.
They keep referring to Akhenaton as a Monotheist. He was not. A monotheist believes in one God. Akhenaton did not deny the existence of other gods. He just felt the Aten, the sun, was the only god that should be worshiped. His theories were as much political as religious since he opposed the powerful priesthood of Amun who controlled an extensive amount of wealth and power.
The late Ron Wyatt is in no way accepted as a legitimate archeologist/theologian by the great majority of archeologists/theologians. I’m just saying....
Thanks Zulu, glad you said this. I used to put a proviso into my Akhenaten posts -- that he was not a monotheist, but a monolater.
I’m a little surprised, and maybe a little hurt, that no one has posted the usual meme graphic about that. I’m going to pull the shades, pour a strong drink, and sit and cry for a while. Partly about forgetting to pour the drink before darkening the house.
Ron Wyatt was an archaeologist in the same way that that guy who used to paint waterfalls on PBS was a plumber.
He wanted to take over the place and power of the priests.This was not his own idea as he was just following in his daddy's footsteps.
Egyptians could only worship through him and his wife which allowed him to control every aspect of life and the afterlife.

Heh... I feel so much better now.
That is an ivory tower response which doesn’t serve getting to truth by critical analysis. I have not found any authoritative, reasoned response to his findings.
The fact that you buy into his BS shows you don't know what reason is.
I didn’t approach this with insults in mind. But if that is your style, be a happy democrat.

Sure you did -- that's your insult, right up there. Ron Wyatt was a fraud or an incompetent. Since what he said was largely not true, he was lying, regardless of whether he believed it or not.
I don’t see a personal attack on you.
Right back at you. I spoke factually about Ron Wyatt,anything else is in your own mind.
Dude, just drop it. Find something more important in this life.
Prove ONE time in which I demonstrate a hate for science or history. And you keep on with a insults like a typical democrat dickhead.
