The mystery of King Tut's death might finally be solved, according to one scientist who argues that the secret to the young pharaoh's demise is hidden in plain sight.

Dr. Hutan Ashrafian, a lecturer and surgeon at the Imperial College London, says the key to the mystery lies in the art from the period, which depicted King Tut with highly feminine features, including enlarged breasts.

The enlarged breasts, he argues, are indicative of a condition known as gynecomastia, which, when added to a host of historical and familial evidence, indicates that Tutankhamun might have suffered and eventually died from temporal lobe epilepsy....

How does a leg break kill you?

I’d swear those are side-by-side photos of Boy George and Nancy Pelosi . . .

I don't know. I do know that if you break your leg and have no pain killers, you'll wish you were dead.

“How does a leg break kill you?”

Depending on the type of break there could have been some internal bleeding at the site with a clot that later broke loose and entered the lungs a/o heart. That makes for a real short day as in dead.

Who cares? After all these years he’d probably be dead by now anyways. /s

[bigheadfred]

They had plenty of cocaine.

Ima thinking the break didn’t kill him. Complications from the break, maybe.

Internal bleeding, gangrene, other consequences of being thousands of years from modern medicine.

Pretty soon the next mystery will be why the world stood by knowing King Tut’s priceless artifacts would be destroyed by their current host government.

Blood clot....That’s how my uncle died...Fell off a ladder...

[Mike Darancette]

Fat embolism.

We probably can’t even imagine what is stolen by these archeologists.

How does a leg break kill you?

I forget the medical term, but a blood clot from a major leg injury can travel through the blood stream and get lodged in the Blood vessels supplying the brain and you die from a stroke.

Methinks the face needs to be longer and thinner, the nose wider. But I only play an expert in reconstruction.

I suppose he could have been beaten with the bloody stump. ;-)

That, is a good one.

I loved the Egyptian reports that none of the Tutankhamun artifacts were destroyed, as we watched the video clearly showing the famous figurine of Tut fishing from his boat in pieces on the floor . . .
