Pertinax Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 If the King looks anything like Akhenaten (who's recorded appearence is quite unusual to say the least http://allanmatthews.8m.com/egypt/museum/akhenaten1.jpg if I recall it is suggested that he suffered a chronic /congenital lack of vitamin D, (which is surprising given his possible exposure to ultraviolet) potentially leaving one open to osteoporosis, rickets and schizophrenia) then we may be a little closer to determining if he was indeed Akhenatens son. The reference to his "beautiful bick teeth" is a bit disconcerting. [A modern footnote from a piece on Rickets in developed countries: "Chronic vitamin D deficiency is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia because its symptoms are so similar: muscle weakness, aches and pains"] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
