King Tut's maladies and shortened life attributed to incest
Dan Ruderman
Scientists have performed a “virtual autopsy” of King Tut using a 3D model based on more than 2000 digital scans. The model has revealed many previously unrecognized congenital deformities, including a sizable overbite, skewed face, and malformed hips. The scientists conclude that this cluster of signs, together with new genetic tests, indicate his parents were siblings.
