New discoveries found about King Tut
An international team of researchers have preformed a 'virtual autopsy' of Tut, basically a close analysis of a life-size image made from more than 2,000 CT scans of his remains and found some new discoveries as well as confirmed some assumptions past investigations have led to, they also suggest a new explanation for King Tut's mysterious death.
The team found that the Boy King had buck teeth, a club foot which likely required a cane to walk with, explaining the many canes in his tomb, and he had a girlish figure.
The Clubfoot does cast doubt on the popular theory that he was mortally injured in a chariot crash. A genetic analysis appeared to confirm previous research that state that his parents were Brother and sister.
