King Tut slain by sword in the knee

Gruppo Ansa ^ | February 4, 2006

[SunkenCiv]

The group found traces of gold leaf bearing animal symbols in the late pharaoah's right kneecap, leading them to surmise that it had fallen off Tutankhamun's raiments and lodged in a hole during mummification. The hole in question appears to have been caused by a sword, they say.

Worse yet, after they cut his knee, they forced him to eat ex-lax brownies.
