The reason King Tut's line died out was brother-sister marriage. Tut's grandparents and parents were sister and brother, and Tut married his sister. They produced only stillborn fetuses.

Ptolemy member of Alexander’s companion Calvary and a very clever man, while the other generals and friends of Alexander scrapped and squabbled over his empire Ptolemy and his descendants ruled in Egypt for centuries.

Had NO IDEA of this practice of sibling marriages and was quite shocked to learn of it.

Cleopatra was a very intelligent woman, way ahead of her time. She had beauty books in the great library before it burned down. She also knew at least 9 different languages fluently. She’s one of my favorite historical figures. What an incredible life story.

PJ, King Tut did die young, at around age nineteen. At one time, it was thought that Tut was murdered, but that is no longer the case. Using DNA and CT scans, scientists have found that Tut was weakened by Malaria, then a (possible) chariot crash caused a broken thigh bone (femur) which became infected. Tut's whole family, presumably from the inbreeding, had strange genetic anomalies. His father, Akhenaten, had breasts and large, round hips, like a woman. He had a long neck and long fingers. His daughters were shown in family portraits with breasts at ages three and seven. Tut had a club foot and a cleft palate. Everyone in the family had skull anomalies. It's too bad they didn't understand what was happening. Pharaoh Akhenaten, with his weird body, was married to Nefertiti, whom many men have pronounced the most beautiful woman who ever lived.)
