directions. Having certain tendencies, he must move along their lines to the limit of their potentialities."

Tut was a wreck..

DNA analysis of the mummified boy king, and associated mummies, indicate that:

1. His parents were probably siblings.
2. He may have suffered from juvenile aseptic necrosis.
3. He may have fathered children that died from congenital disorders.
4. A fractured femur may have led to an infection that killed him.
5. He probably suffered from the worst form of malaria.

But he had some cool stuff.
