Reply to comment by wopwopdoowop in TIL that the damage on the back of King Tut's skull was due to mishandling of his remains rather than a fatal blow to the head. by KelpCakeDanny

They aren’t trying to cyber bully King Tut. That’s from real research. I saw it in a documentary too.

Have you seen the research on his many physical deformities and definite heavy inbreeding? I haven’t really heard anyone make the claim that he was an athletic hunter before. Where did you get that info?

So this is not actually much evidence. Ancient egyptains did a lot of propaganda and we have depections of pharaohs who never even went to war smiting their enemies. Then there was Ramses going through a full propaganda complain where he replaced the names off the works of older pharaohs and said they were his own and where he lied about the outcome of the Battle of Kadesh.

There's a lot of propaganda in ancient eygpt and King Tut would have been depicted hunting and riding chariots regardless of whether he was disabled or not because that was what was expected of a pharaoh. They were all depicted as youthful and invigorated and as warriors.

The egyptains would also pretty much erase from history any humiliating defeats or anything they didn't like.

We don't know any of that. All that was written about him could have been fabricated after his dead. Or even before.

Just because he was riding on it doesn't mean he was the one driving it. Again you cannot prove without a shadow of a doubt. As you said. He has used canes. That leaves area for doubt

> if y'all cant go read a book

You're talking about a topic that famously has conflicting positions, you didn't mention any book and actually just posted a Wikipedia link of a controversial archaeologist.

Don't be a pretentious twat. It's not that I disagree with your position but you're doing an awful job at defending it.

This guy is a top fabricator of Egyptian histories to make them appear more appealing to modern audiences.

Watch him say Egyptians were all black next. When we know for a fact they all ended up being Greek.

I've done a fair bit of research on him myself. Was fascinated in him at one point. I've read a lot of evidence that he was quite disabled from inbreading. But have also heard he was into hunting. However, there's some thought he was more interested in going with hunters and watching than actually participating. He'd have to have been quite strong for a disabled 12 year old.

I think he was most definitely disabled, but that doesn't mean he couldn't still be a very active young man. Lots of disabled people still play sports and get around. Why, my friend is paralyzed from the neck down and holds a normal job and is building a Twitch channel. Why, I bet his disability just made Tut even more determined to be as active as any other Egyptian young man at the time.

And he had the money and resources to secure mobility aids and even customize his equipment to be what he needed it to be.

I mean, he was the product of his dad and aunt and is a part of a famous incestuous lineage (from my other readings)
