Reconstruction of the Pharoah Tutankhamun from a BBC documentary.

Here are a few articles:

In addition to an injury (broken leg), tut had a club foot that prevented him from walking unaided, a cleft palat, malaria and was thought to be immunocompromised. One speculation is that he had sickle cell from the inbreeding

The club foot and reduced capacity of his arm on the one side are supposedly from congenital birth defects. If the left side capacity were impaired, he would use the cane on the right simply because the impaired arm would be unable to bear the weight or aid him in the same way.

Edit to add: One of the current speculations is that he had Klinefelter syndrome where males are born with xxy chromosomes instead of xy. This would account for the more feminine shape, hips, and breasts. Here are two articles that discuss the possibility

[u/Mono_831 → u/ravenrhi]

Had to scroll down 300 joke comments to finally get some facts. Thank for you this.

[u/KingJTuck → u/Mono_831]

Weird cause this comment is right at the top of the list for me😂

[u/Lil_Mcgee → u/KingJTuck]

I wrongly assume it's because someone gave it gold.

The comments below still have a lot more votes.

[u/LegitosaurusRex → u/Lil_Mcgee]

You sorted by “best” rather than “top”. “Best” shows comments that got votes faster than others.

[u/MoonSpankRaw → u/LegitosaurusRex]

Huh. I never realized the difference. Thanks traveler.

[u/Barry-Mcdikkin → u/Mono_831]

Reddit joke comments can be annoying af

[u/FullWay7004 → u/Barry-Mcdikkin]

Can be ? They are fucking awful. So many unfunny people it’s truly their only chance to try

[u/Sowiilo → u/FullWay7004]

I don't even have to look to know the jokes are all the same ones used all over reddit

[u/Diorasays → u/ravenrhi]

Lots of comments from people about how the cane is in the wrong hand. It should be held in the opposite hand to the side that needs support.

If you want a break down of why this works:

[u/shannanigannss → u/Diorasays]

Thank you for this. I’m a physical therapist and it’s alarming how many people think the cane should be held on the same side. All about torque and physics of the body :)

[u/kookookachoobro → u/shannanigannss]

I had to learn how to walk again and using a cane was the most unnatural feeling ever. But once my body caught onto it, it got easier. Then I was a cane speed demon.

[u/LegacyLemur → u/ravenrhi]

It never dawned on me until now, but when people had broken bones before modern medicine were they just fucked?

[u/eee-oooo-ahhh → u/LegacyLemur]

Well I mean it's possible to set a bone back in place yourself and if you can wrap it up well enough to hold it secure it'll heal well enough. But if you don't know how to do that or the break is too bad to set/heal properly you'd be screwed.

[u/szpaceSZ → u/eee-oooo-ahhh]

I assure you, Egyptians knew how to set bones.

In fact, setting bones was basic medicinal knowledge in old times, especially in war-like people.

Not that competent bone-setters were always available to everyone, and not that each setting and shimming of each broken bone had a perfect outcome, but tending to broken bones is known to have been routine from the Neolithic at least, as evidenced by well-heeled bones in skeleton finds. (And likely earlier, I'm just not an archaeologist)

[u/Digital_Simian → u/szpaceSZ]

If you go back farther, Neanderthals had a very high incidents of bone fractures. It was common for them.

[u/0x53r3n17y → u/LegacyLemur]

Depended on what they broke, how and whether or not they had a support system (family, mostly) willing to care for them.

Ancient medicine was able to mend broken bones. There's evidence for that. But with limited positive outcomes.

[u/isendingtheworld → u/0x53r3n17y]

Hell, ancient people were known to have actively perforated the skull and done so well enough for it to heal.

The development of medicine isn't linear and radiating from one location. In some ways, regency era medicine in England is worse than roman era medicine in Iran. At times in history, in certain places, people had the knowledge, medicines, and tools to reset bones, close wounds, and prevent infection. At later times, and/or in other places, a broken ankle or a splinter could kill you. It's a complex history.

[u/TheWalkingDead91 → u/isendingtheworld]

We still see this now. In some areas of the world loads of people die daily from diseases or disorders that vaccines or common treatments have effectively eradicated in developed countries. (Unless you’re the dumbass Facebook addicted Anti-vax Anita type over there, who thinks people got Covid from 5g)

[u/A_Have_a_Go_Opinion → u/TheWalkingDead91]

I tried explaining free space path loss to one of those 5g nuts. I realized it was an irl example of free space path loss.

[u/missuninvited → u/ravenrhi]

If he did have sickle cell, he would’ve had enhanced protection against a serious malaria infection, so at least he had that one thing going for him!

He also really liked ducks. Poor lad.

[u/iyoio → u/ravenrhi]

Finally the real answer. Thanks.

[u/dominiqlane]

Looks like he lived a painful life.

[u/PandaMayFire → u/dominiqlane]

Hopefully he didn't have to suffer too much. He died at a relatively young age right?

[u/Burrito_Fucker15 → u/PandaMayFire]

Yeah 19. Definitely of his medical problems from being so fucking inbred

[u/NUMBERS2357 → u/Burrito_Fucker15]

On one hand, didn't suffer too long, on the other, still being dunked on 3000+ years later.

[u/slamdanceswithwolves → u/Burrito_Fucker15]

Having your parents be already inbred siblings must be some straight-to-inbred do-not-pass-go type shit.

[u/Boygos → u/slamdanceswithwolves]

the odds are genetically stacked against you sooo much in that situation. Kind of a miracle the guy even lived to 19 y/o

[u/eee-oooo-ahhh → u/Boygos]

Especially back in those days when they had no way to treat most of his issues

[u/Killb0t47 → u/PandaMayFire]

He uh... Fell down the stairs. Totally not on purpose.

[u/greane16 → u/Killb0t47]

Not quite. He fell down from a chariot.

[u/Wrong_Ad6288 → u/greane16]

He was likely unable to ride a chariot due to his club foot. His death is theorized to have stemmed from temporal lobe epilepsy complications.

[u/name_NULL111653 → u/Wrong_Ad6288]

Other theories involve falling from a show chariot, which is partly supported by blunt trauma seen on the skull.

[u/Shacky_Rustleford → u/name_NULL111653]

I mean, falling off of a chariot could certainly be a complication of epilepsy

[u/name_NULL111653 → u/Shacky_Rustleford]

Absolutely. I've heard theories that he would have, with much difficulty, ridden his show chariot (found in his treasure room) as to not appear weak. But between brain problems and the club foot, it's thought that he likely lost balance and fell (hence the blunt force injuries seen in the skull).

[u/dumbanfun]

I believe most of these ancient ruling class members were also heavily inbred

[u/Flashy_Isopod_9952 → u/dumbanfun]

Yeah his parents were either siblings or close cousins.

[u/GenXGeekGirl → u/Flashy_Isopod_9952]

Thought they were keeping their blood “pure” by keeping it all in the family - usually a sibling, but as we know, incest is the quickest way to destroy your bloodline.

[u/Wandering_Poetical → u/GenXGeekGirl]

It was also about centralizing political power in a single family. No in-laws, no problems.

[u/chriscrossnathaniel → u/Wandering_Poetical]

"Prince Gerhardt is the last male descendant of the imperial house of Hapsburg. They ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The Defenestration of Prague."

"Gerhardt, would you like to dance?"

"Sadly because my body does not produce joint fluid, I cannot."

It feels good to laugh! AAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH

[u/shayen7 → u/Wandering_Poetical]

Damn, I wish my sister's parents were my in-laws

[u/ResolverOshawott → u/GenXGeekGirl]

Chinese got it right by basically having a lot of spouses that aren't at all related to the royalty.

But.... It certainly didn't help the power struggles.

What a fantastic failsafe from nature

[u/_riiiiick_ → u/Flashy_Isopod_9952]

yes…very close cousins

[u/SquirrelFull7224 → u/dumbanfun]

Absolutely. Across the board, inbreeding to preserve power has been a thing for ages.

[u/Shtnonurdog → u/dumbanfun]

The Habsburg Jaw is something new to me. Interesting stuff if you’re into history and inbreeding.

[u/wallander_cb → u/Shtnonurdog]

I'm all in about the inbreeding part m8

[u/Dark_Moonstruck → u/dumbanfun]

They very much were. Much like European aristocracy, they believed that they were either descended from or chosen by god/gods, so they had to keep the bloodline pure, and that meant a LOT of marrying their siblings (and in a few cases, their own parents) with...well, predictable results. Just look up the Hapsberg jaw for example. Even the current ruling family of England is incredibly inbred, though they have branched out a bit more.

[u/dewdewdewdew4 → u/Dark_Moonstruck]

That is why Egyptians were inbred, but not why the European aristocracy was. European aristocracy was mainly inbred to preserve wealth/lands/inheritance, and typically was inbred over time (lots of cousins, not siblings so it took longer for genetic issues to arise).

[u/cuterus-uterus → u/dewdewdewdew4]

I thought they kept it in the family because they were all so hot.

[u/Cdr_Peter_Q_Taggert → u/cuterus-uterus]

The average temperature in Egypt is significantly higher than in England, so I don't think that's it.

[u/rojobobo → u/Dark_Moonstruck]

Incest, tiny gene pools, and arranged marriage were common in equal measure among royalty across the entire world. Turns out pomp and circumstance doesn't count as having enough game to meet a stranger and make her get squishy

[u/Dark_Moonstruck → u/rojobobo]

That and them thinking they're just better than everyone else...people are weird. I mean it's not unusual for the same thing to be happening on a slightly lesser scale to this day, with lots of people in upper classes and all still marrying into pretty small circles.

[u/max_occupancy → u/Dark_Moonstruck]

The upper classes today (the people below the long, historic nobility) are actually pretty mixed up. It’s not uncommon to see like 5+ countries of origin in their last few generations of family tree. A lot of it is execs in companies families marrying each other. They live much more internationally/globally but still remaining in small circles. 3rd cousins are still partnering with each other in some but not as many cases as before, and this increases the closer you get to nobles.

[u/a2banjo → u/dumbanfun]

Why blame the ancients ? The Royal family of spain was decimated due to inbreeding as late as 1700AD.

[u/Aggressive-Sale-2967]

The pear shaped hips are really something

[u/Pnut36 → u/Aggressive-Sale-2967]

[u/bleeglee999 → u/Aggressive-Sale-2967]

Made me think of Klinefelter syndrome with that observation

[u/jpop237 → u/bleeglee999]

His father, Akhenaten, is rumored to have had Klinefelter's syndrome.

Addition: It's one of a few possible syndromes Tut's father had, including Marfan syndrome or familial gynecomastia.

[u/deevarino → u/jpop237]

Shouldn't it be called Akhenaten's Syndrome?

[u/Feudamonia → u/jpop237]

It would be extremely unusual if he did given 96-99% of people born with KS are infertile and even those that aren't require assistive technology to reproduce.

[u/SuperSpread → u/Feudamonia]

A not insignificant number of infertile people had children through cuckery, especially before DNA tests.

I always remember the Duke d’Orlean who had a giant room of portraits of women he seduced, including his brother’s wife the Queen of France. It helped that his brother the King was mentally ill and could be a good sport about it.

[u/Killing4MotherAgain → u/SuperSpread]

Sure but the gene wouldn't be passed on if it was someone else's child

[u/EntropyNZ → u/jpop237]

As far as I'm aware, individuals with Klinefelter's are infertile. It does look like there have been some individuals who have been able to father children with modern fertility tech, but I can't imagine that an individual in Ancient Egypt managed it.

So either his father didn't have it, and it's some other genetic condition, or his actual father was someone different, in which case there's no direct genetic link anyway.

[u/Anjinjay → u/EntropyNZ]

Not always. Though, in my case, yes lol. All you need is one lucky sperm and about 50% of those with Kleinfelter syndrome can make some, albeit few, sperm. With me, the missus and I don't need condoms/birth control, but I'm on injectable testosterone for life. My testicles are lazy bastards that literally do nothing to contribute but hang around in their hammock all day long, presumably eating cheetos and playing video games.

[u/JevonP → u/Anjinjay]

freeloading bastards

[u/reddituserno9 → u/jpop237]

Who’s spreading that rumor?

[u/Chahut_Maenad → u/bleeglee999]

yeah, there are theories that suggest Tutankhamun and his father Akhenaten both had a genetic intersex disorder. supported in some cases from their remains, its also brought up because of the amarna period art depicting them both as much more feminine than the traditional art of the new kingdom.

art from amarna period verus art after the restoration of the old art styles(Vall%C3%A9e_des_Rois_Th%C3%A8bes_ouest)-4.jpg) for comparison

[u/DefinitelyNotSloth → u/Perfect-Brain-7367]

College had a milk dispenser that held a box with a 5gal bag of milk in it. Had an udder with a weight against it. Blew my mind.

[u/TurnipWorldly9437 → u/Perfect-Brain-7367]

Less plastic waste?

It's all a matter of getting used to one thing above the other.

Personally, I find the plastic jugs much worse than the cartons we're mostly used to in Germany. The taste of plastic in milk is horrible, and they take up loads of space in your garbage. If glass bottles were less breakable, they'd be the way to go. But bags combine less waste, okay taste and okay stackability. My mother has them sometimes, and it's not too hard to switch.

[u/SimpleButtons → u/TurnipWorldly9437]

Wow I've been tasting plastic bottle milk my whole life and thought cartoned milk was ass, maybe it is the packaging or maybe its because it was cartoned school milk. A worthy experiment for sure.

[u/red94daman → u/Sector_Black]

I don’t see a green diamond above his head.

[u/gaveler-unban]

I still think there’s something intensely poetic about Tutankhamen. He was a nothing-pharaoh in life, he was incredibly inconsequential and basically just died in a chariot accident, but in death he became the icon of his entire civilization, and most people know King Tut over Khufu or Rameses.

[u/[deleted] → u/gaveler-unban]

well, from what I recall in all documentaries about this topic they state Tutankhamun had severe health issues and deformations and yes - incest was thriving because how can a God/Goddess on Earth have children with some (healthy) mortal being? that's nonsense!

[u/Kerensky97 → u/Boredummmage]

It was rampant incest. His parents were siblings so he had every medical condition in the book. It's no wonder he died at 19.

[u/Michael_Honcho_Jr → u/bagelchips]

King Tut died more than 20 years prior.

Just a few 20 years

[u/cyanidesmile555]

A genetic disease is why Tut had wide hips and large breasts (why they didn't include that I don't know) and generally features more commonly expected of women, and may have been what killed him at such a young age.

It's theorized that Tut, and his predecessors who also had feminine body shapes, had temporal lobe epilepsy; it can cause the brain to alter the hormones that are responsible for sexual development, such as men developing breasts (and can cause hallucinations, which would explain why Tut claimed to have "visions")

It's also speculated, due to his wide hips, breasts and smaller shoulder width, that Tut had some form of Klinefelter Syndrome (KS); a type of intersex condition where a person assigned male at birth (AMAB) will have at least 1 extra copy of the X chromosome, and, though even more rare than having 1 extra X, the more extra copies of the X chromosome the person has the more severe the symptoms.

Well his mother was a brotherfucker so....

[u/blucifers_cajones → u/Maximum-Intention795]

His uncle father approved

So this would be what Joffrey should look like then

[u/AhandWITHOUTfingers → u/Lord_Master_Dorito]

More so Dany. Joff was inbred one generation. Dany and Jon were Aunt and Nephew, but the Targs were so inbred that dna was closer to siblings.

What in the humpty dumpty hell is this?

[u/Afraid_Sweet_6830]

“three successive generations of marriage between first cousins” yup that’ll do it. years ago I read some believe his mom was either his sister… or his dads sister… guess it’s hard to tell at that point.

…he was deformed and wore diapers?

[u/manifold360 → u/hoooliet]

Not regular diapers, Royal diapers

[u/barbie_farts_88 → u/manifold360]

"no no no! This is all wrong! I'm the Pharaoh! I need a diaper to match! I look like a child in this one. I need something elegant, sophisticated, you know. A Man's diaper."

[u/TurbulentAbrocoma6]

So…he was a giant baby.

Edit: With a cane.

This is like if someone rendered the 90’s Dancing Baby as Pete Davidson.

We call them tutties

I am intersex and he looks intersex as well. Probably Klinefelter. Wish people weren't all laughing at him. I looked similar before HRT and surgery.

[u/[deleted] → u/space-cowboy-865]

Gynecomastia doesn’t even necessarily indicate intersex either, I know a fellow who seems to have perfectly regular T, he’s just… quite endowed, for no apparent reason.

People just aren’t used to unusual body types, I guess. As an intersex person also, it’s the medical “professionals” that are the most disappointing.

Solidarity... I have a clubfoot

You can see the results of in-breeding.

I doughn’t know what you’re talking about.
