"Born in Arizona, Moved to Babylonia, King Tut!"



A revealing article in this week's JAMA reports that King Tut's mother and father were actually sister and brother to one another. Does than make his mother also his aunt? And his father also his uncle? I give up!!

Anyway, this is a really cool article that use modern methods to investigate ancient causes of death. A delicious break from the usual medical stuff.

Here is the article:
