So first off, we must acknowledge the dreadful state that Tutankhamen's body was in after Howard Carter and his team finished with it.
And they saw it up, didn't they?
Tutankhamen was found glued into his inner solid gold coffin, covered with wonderful artefacts, which had to be extracted.
And so Howard Carter and the team totally atomised him, decapitated him, tore him limb from limb to get him out of this black... And that's literally what we're talking about.
He's stuck in the thing and they
have to just pull.
Yeah.
So all of that contaminates and compromises the nature of what we would now want to analyze.
And they weren't wearing rubber gloves and stuff.
They were not.
William, no, they were not.
They're breathing, smoking, touching, things that we might not do today.
So the evidence is, I think, to my mind, fatally compromised in that way.
But you're right that Tutankhamen, he comes at the end of the line and
even if his parents were not directly related, his father definitely came from what we would call an inbred royal family to keep the royal blood pure.
In contrast to other royal families.
Well, yeah, it's a common thing to not... And for reasons of inheritance, generally, not just royalty, that you want to know who the next generation are and what they're going to inherit.
So Tutankhamun,
Maybe one of the reasons he doesn't have children of his own is because of a genetic issue.
But as far as disease goes, and I've been in hospitals where we've done the CT scans of mummified bodies, often in that scanning room, you're with an archaeologist, an Egyptologist, a radiologist, a bioarchaeologist, and no one can agree when the scan comes up what they're seeing on the screen.
