Results from recent DNA analysis performed on the mummy of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun have revealed that he was a product of inbreeding, disabled and suffered from malaria. By mapping chromosomes from the DNA of various mummies, researchers were able to link family lines and found that King Tut’s parents, Akhenaten and a woman whose mummy is known as “Younger Lady,” were in fact brother and sister.The larger article is fascinating and is provided by National Geographic entitled, "King Tut Mysteries Solved: Disabled, Malarial, and Inbred".
