Wow. He had to wait 3,300 years for a CT scan. That's a little shorter than the wait in England and Canada, I think.
At any rate, I'm glad they finally solved this mystery involving the boy king. And, I guess the folk medicine for treating the infection did not work. A little penicillin would have saved him.

Will they be sharing results of DNA testing also?

Hawass said some members of the Egyptian-led research team, which included two Italian experts and one from SwitzerlandI wonder if they charged the Italians and Swiss thirty bucks to see him.

Tut was of a slight build ... had a slight cleft palate .. He also had large incisor teeth and the typical overbite characteristic of other kings from his family. His lower teeth were also slightly misaligned.Sooooooo, King Tut was in fact... Mortimer Snerd!

I watched this on the History Channel the other night. The narrator had an accent and pronounced every word wrong or is me that has been wrong all these years?

Conclusion: Boy king, King Tut, fell out of his high chair eating breakfast, broke his leg, got a lethal infection......and the rest is history.

My father was born in 1904, and as the story goes, he fell as a young boy and developed a severe infection in his leg. Years later it was diagnosed as Osteomyelitis. As kids, we were told that the doctor's back then had grafted a sheep's bone into his leg and that the procedure had been written up in the medical journals. I have no idea if this story was true or not, but my Dad did walk with a noticeable limp and his leg was badly scarred. His whole life he had an open wound on his upper arm that drained pus. My mother would wash and dress the wound every night when he came home from work. I can't imagine how my father worked 50+ years on the railroad with the disease. He never took any medication for it. Occasionally the wound would close up on him, he'd develop a fever/chills and feel generally oogy, but he never missed a day's work because of it. After about a week, the infection would fester and reopen, usually in a different place on his arm. My Dad lived to be 72, dying of lung cancer and the effects of a massive stroke.

"Hair-lip." Those college graduates at AP seem a bit "hair-brained" when it comes to spelling.
It's unclear whether Tut was son or half-brother of the great heretic, and it's going to stay unclear as long as ZH is in charge over there. The man's less a scholar and historian, more a nationalistic mouthpiece and bureaucrat.
