King Tutankhamun: Plagued By Poor Health (especially now)

From Sky News

The young ruler had a cleft palate, a club foot, and died after complications from a broken leg were exacerbated by brain malaria.

It had previously been thought that he was murdered due to a hole in his skull, but researchers found this was part of the mummification process.

James Patterson will be mortified - he wrote a whole book on his personal theory of how the boy king was murdered!

Reminds me of a book about how the sinking of the Titanic was an insurance fraud and that the ship was swapped for her older sister, the Olympic. The book claimed that the two ships were identical in appearance, except to experts. They were not, and photographs of the Olympic and of the Titanic are easy to identify from each other, even for the layman.

The only US battleship to escape unscathed from Pearl Harbour was later sold to the Argetines, renamed the Admiral Belgrano and remains the only battleship ever sunk by a nuclear submarine.

I heard on the radio (so it must be true) that King Tutankhamon was in fact the Ancient Egyptian Hide and Seek champion at the time of his death.

AntCity was seized by a fit of exquisite pedantry. No matter how hard he tried he could not resist the urge to type 'the General Belgrano was a cruiser not a battleship.'

Gotcha!

They still haven't found his successor.

Well, fair enough, I'll take that on the chin. But a cruiser is not a battleship; you might just as well call a Triumph Bonneville a sports car. A cruiser and a battleship are, however, types of warship.
