I read somewhere there was a lot of inbreeding amongst the royal types in ancient Egypt.

Royalty still does.....................

Inbreeding was so bad in the Egyptian royal families that birth defects were becoming a major problem. King Tut was severely affected by them, by all accounts. But this reminds me of something. If I ever was to meet Prince Charles in person, I think I might ask him, if I was an audience member during an interview perhaps, “How has inbreeding affected your life? Can you still do normal things like drive a car? I was just wondering.” I wonder how he would respond.

Half Of European Men Share King Tut's DNA

"The results showed that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group, known as haplogroup R1b1a2, to which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong, indicating that they share a common ancestor."

My DNA is R1B too.
(68% of European men are R1B...they have more boys than other DNA haplogroups)
