With strong features cast in burnished gold, Tutankhamuns burial mask projects an image of majestic beauty and royal power. But in the flesh, King Tut had buck teeth, a club foot and girlish hips, according to the most detailed examination ever of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs remains. And rather than being a boy king with a love of chariot racing, Tut relied on walking sticks to get around during his rule in the 14th century BC, researchers said.

    Egyptian Pharaohs seeing themselves as divine practiced incest. Even the Greek Ptolemys took up the practice. Just like the Spanish Hapsburgs incestuous marriages bred themselves out looks like Tut rolled snake eyes with the genetic interbreeding.

    The Russian Tzars produced hemophiliacs in their bloodline due to the same thing.

     I'll take Things that can never be proven or disproven, for $600, Alex. This ancient reptile often had a runny nasal passage and persistent scratchy throat.

    “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...

    Tut’s father Akenaten was kinda weird looking also.
Sculptures and paintings of Akhenaten showed him having big hips, a potbelly, and a long thin face.

    Maybe the King Tut of the Batman television series wasnt so far off...LOL ... just watched a Batman rerun this weekend starring King Tut.
I gotta' say - Batman today is a little long in the tooth, but it was a FUN show back in day - unlike the KRAP that's been on for the last 20 years.
