Isn't it Auchenaten(sp) who the 'experts' claim probably had Marfan Syndrome (Abe Lincoln Disease)?

Don't know the answer to your question, but thanks for the article.

Its producer, Kate Botting, said the spinal problem emerged as FBI investigators sought some answers to the theory that Tutankhamun was murdered.

Huh?

Well, if they can figure out who killed King Tut, perhaps they can find out who killed Chandra Levy.

It's Akhenaten.

"His head is like it's on a broomstick or a poker," the researcher explained. "So that if he fell backward or there was a blow to the back of his head - a serious spinal cord injury at that level."

"He lived in very turbulent times"

Doesn't every period of History qualify as "Turbulent Times"?As if it was more turbulent 1300 years ago than the Islamic War that has been thrust upon us today. More Primitive? O.K. I can accept that, but more turbulent,I have to disagree. It's also interesting to note that my acquaintance Alex at our local adult beverage establishment, thought he saw himself on TV yesterday,He's a splitting image of that picture and was hearing about it from everyone yesterday and not happy about it.
