Funky Tut

King Tut might have died as a result of a badly fractured leg. In the 60s, the likely cause was believed to be a blow to the head but "precision scans of the king's left thigh revealed extensive details of a high-impact fracture above the left knee. The kneecap was badly twisted to the outside of the leg, and the wound was open to the outside world, where it was vulnerable to infection."
