111 Words1 Pages
King Tut, whose real name is Tutankhamun, was a product of inbreeding. His parents are believed to have been siblings; therefore, he suffered many inherited diseases. According to the video, which was a CT scan that scientists recreated, King Tut had buck teeth, wide hips, and a clubfoot. This information proved that he could not have died riding a chariot, because he could not stand on his own. He was buried with many walking sticks, and according to history this was a way to represent his power; however, it is now believed they were used to assist in his walking. The scientists also believes that he may have died of malaria.
