How Inbred was Tutankhamun? 

It's so fascinating how families who think they're some kind of special breed, and therefore worthy of worship, always prove themselves wrong, no matter the time or culture.

I feel so bad for his sister Wife like imagine having 2 beautiful daughters but they both die right afterbirth and then your husband dies. And all you can do is plead for help from and another powerful monarchy just to end up. Dead a year later😢

FAMILY TREE?! Honey that’s a wreath

Please do an inbred video on the Inca Emperor! Atahualpa had sister-wives and half-sister concubines (and he had 10 children), the Inca empire only lasted about 100 years so inbreeding could have destroyed them first if Pizarro didn't arrive at the time he did during an Inca civil war.

Tutankhaman was a historical 'flash in the pan' . He died very young and never accomplished anything . In fact it could be speculated that he was mentally disabled . His only claim to fame was that his burial tomb was discovered unpilfered. He gets way too many historical mentions just because of this . NOT an Egyptian Pharaoh of any note .

Any other Puppet History fan whisper "Hapshepsut" when she was mentioned? Great video as always!

Divine marriages in religion as likely it refers to Osiris and Isis also being siblings, it usually resulted in lineages dying out in time due to issues.

Very interesting how no one noticed that multiple children came out deformed and went hmmm I wonder if it’s because the family tree didn’t fork.

I just imagine how different the thought process is for these folks from us now. There is such a huge taboo on incest now that it's hard to imagine overcoming psychological the aversion to it.

In my opinion, every one of your videos are fascinating. I learn something from each of them that I didn't know about. You just keep doing them and I'll keep watching them. 😊

That "yes" meme really applies here... Historians: "How inbred are you?" Tut: "Yes"

He was his own grand pa. And prince charles' cousin I believe.

I love this channel! I'm definitely subscribing to you. Keep up the good work

So the Egyptian royal family were the Habsburgs of their time?

Hillbillies would be deeply impressed by how much Tut and his relatives really managed to keep it in the family.

I like your videos, and I’m usually very surprised by the percentage at the end! Your voice, style of videos are very calming

As Egyptian royalty practiced both cousin marriage and brother-sister marriage the answer is "very".

I know it’s an accepted pronunciation but as someone who grew up hearing it said “tu TAHN ka MOHN” i always giggle a little at “toot uncommon” Anyways, great video. Such a sad story of a life destroyed by inbreeding, a boy put into a position of power far before he was ready, only to die while still a teen.

Regarding the statement at 3.57 tnat Tutankhamun had a choice of 6 of his half-sisters to marry, leading Egyptologists believe that 3 of them (Meketaten, Neferneferure and Setepenre) were already deceased by the time Tut married Ankhesenamun. There are funerary scenes of 3 daughters within Akhenaten's tomb in Amarna as well as rooms believed to have been intended for their burials before Akhenaten himself had died.

It’s kind of funny to think that king tut was so unremarkable…such a historical cul de sac that even his tomb, filled with enough treasure to set an ancient family up for generations, went completely unnoticed over the millennia lol. Now *that* is noteworthy…

Tut was very inbred. His father and mother were related. Half-siblings if i remember correctly. His wife was a half-sister to him. In his tomb was two mummified fetuses, his children that were too inbred to survive.

Thank you for all your videos 🙏

What would the coefficient of breeding be for their two young daughters? Presumably, quite high as they were stillborn/only lived a few hours at most?

He’s his own brother, uncle, father, and grandfather.

i’m glad there are videos like this. so interesting

You've certainly found a niche and I'm all for it

How do you know that Ankhesenamun was buried in her great grandparent's tomb? I'm not disputing it, I'm just wondering how you know?

What sources did you use for this, please? Curious particularly about your seeming confidence that Nefertiti was Akhenaten's cousin. Thanks!

I'm curious why they shifted back to inbreeding after they had moved away from it.

Terrific presentation

Amazing video, can anyone link me the music used in the video?

When I was in 3rd grade summer school, we had a teacher who taught history and pronounced his name as “too-taka-man”. God bless the American education system. So glad my father told me the correct way to say his name.

This series is so good! 😊

Has there been evidence/documentation of Tut having epileptic seizures?

That was fascinating.

I feel so lucky to have seen his sarcophagus about 16 years ago when it was on display in Philadelphia

Hello from Ontario, Canada 😊

Inbreeding has caused so many problems in royal lineages.

What I found the most interesting about this video is that not one person was from Arkansas

He was his own mom basically.

Love the video mate but need a mic upgrade

Idk what the Egyptian equivalent of banjo music is, but that's what is playing in my head. Tut was poisoned 200 years before he was born.

On a scale of 1-10 he was a full Alabama

Is that Richard Jefferson from Espn in the Thumbnail? Lmao.

I find it so hilarious this whole channel is just about how inbred royals were 😭

Honestly, considering the timing, the letter, and the hasty burial, despite the Egyptians notorious morning practices, I find it likely that Anaksunamun was murdered- especially if they learned that she was planning on marrying a forgen prince.

When your family tree is a wreath...

Next: How inbred is the Shy Historian? 😅 Lets gooooo!

Wow...most outstanding!!!

Sir your channel 's name 'shy historian' is ironical of the contents you post😅

They found many pieces of evidence, not evidences.

The Ancient Egyptians also practiced Father and Daughter marriage. Rameses II married at least 4 of his daughters: Bintanath, Meritamen, Nebettawi and Hentmire. 😧

So interesting

The family tree? I think you mean the family wreath.

In bread? Bro I thought he was in a pyramid 💀

Seems like a perfectly reasonably question

Why does anyone find this surprising? They knew nothing of genetics or what was felt to be right or wrong in terms of suitable family liaisons like nowadays. To me it would be more amazing if he hadn’t been.

You should make a series about this and put them in a table to rank them from most inbred to a regular person

I tested my own bloodgroup and found I am B almost Rh-. And that might actually tell us that the Rh factor might be changeable. The A B and O or AB part is clear, with no doubts. It is a clear yes or no but with the Rh factor the test can turn out strong, typical, weak or not at all.

Look at him? What do you think?

There are a few points in the video that are not historically clear. 1) We don't know whether Nefertiti was Akhenaten's cousin. This theory is based on the fact that Ay bore the title "gods father", but we don't know exactly what this title referred to. Ay's wife is explicitly referred to as Nefertiti's nurse, so she could not have been Nefertiti's mother. Furthermore, we have no certain evidence that Ay was the son of Yuya and Thuya. so even if Nefertiti was the daughter of Ay, this would not make her a cousin of Akhenaten. 2) We do not know if Tut was the son of Akhenaten. Akhenaten neither mentioned a son nor a sister-wife during his reign. The fact that Akhenaten named Semenchkahre as his successor also indicates that Tut was not his son, because a son would normally be higher in the line of succession than a son-in-law. If Akhenaten chose a son-in-law as his successor, then he probably didn't have a son. Moreover, Tut's father was too young to be Akhenaten at the time of his death. Interestingly, Tut's parents are genetically closer than is usual for full siblings. genetic tests suggest that Akhenaten's parents could have been cousins and there is a theory that Thuya and Yuya could be descendants of Queen Nefertari-Ahmose. In other words, Tut's parents may not have been siblings, but cousins who shared more genes than usual due to incest in the family. 3) We do not know whether the letter came from Ankhesenamun. Only that it came from an Egyptian queen. 4) It is also unclear whether Ankhesenamun was Tutankhamun's sister or not, since Ankhesenamun never held the title "king's sister". Furthermore, Tutankhamun's daughters do not share enough DNA with Tut's father to be his grandchildren from both his mother's and father's side. The mummy of the presumed mother of Tut's children could also not be identified as the genetic daughter of Tut's father. However, this mother was of the royal bloodline and a queen in her twenties, which excludes all candidates except Ankhesenamun. This also makes it more unlikely that Tut was Akhenatens son, since Ankhesenamun was definitely Akhenatens daughter. 5) Tut was not as inbred as he was always portrayed in the media. He had health problems, but he was in decent health overall since he was physically able to hunt, and fight wars and his death came as a surprise, which is why his tomb had to be made so hastily.

He had the ancient blood but his parents had likely the same blood line hence the sickle disease...

So your saying that he didnt look like wht his statue look like idk bout this

hi mr gould its sarrinah from ur class

How many great-grandparents did Tutankhamun have?

How do you think the various races formed?

And here, I thought the Targaryens were inbred...

4:16 Free founsand four hundred?! 😱

Tutankhamun is my fav of all time

Was he from Alabama, Kentucky, West Virginia...?

TL;DW, his family tree is a wreath

To answer your question: Hella.

These poor children, a miserable life thru no fault of their own.

Lets not forget the clones. The fact that the different syndrome groups contain of many indentical souls I believe cloned fertelized eggs. It takes 55 hours before the growing of the featus starts and if you clone the egg before that youll ge identical twins, thriplets ...etc. Only some might become very defect while others become good or good enough. And look at the appearance of syndrome ill ppl. We know the looks of all I think, we recognise the appearance in ourselves and others- sometimes one can´t quite place them but it´s all familiar faces. And appart from the clone issue we have the fact that all syndrome groups are so dissimilar to one another. Tall, short, eyes wide apart, close together- we have all differences that might be needed to design a featus/human body by making the featus possessed by syndrome souls- it only takes an Rh+ woman to carry the designed creature. To boost the looks? To copy righteous humans? Hmm...According to an anthropologist (?) the Cro Magnon is the Rh- human and Homo Sapien the Rh+. To me as a chrisitan I think that makes Rh- clean human Rh+ unclean human. All syndrome children have Rh+ bloodtype. The goal with christiantiy is to become clean, be cured from defects - like the non-ability to see the angels in heaven/Kingdom of heaven and hear communication in spirit/thought- be linked with holy clean (?) souls in heaven. Anyone who has become reborn in spirit, soul can both enter the Kingdom of heaven and see it. If the Universe will collaps (OT+NT) then it might be only the clean human souls that will be saved? Horridness among all horridness on this planet in this time, my opinion.

He would be considered normal in West Virginia

TIL The chick from the Mummy movies was married to Tutankhamun.

Well id say if he was any more "inbread" hed be a sandwich

He looks like Richard Jefferson who could use a visit to the dentist

You didn't really answer the question

King Tuts mother was Kiya and she was a half sister to his father. He also married his half sister not full sister

I dont know why i want to tell this but my cat had a sudden death from Feline Coronavirus at the age of 7 on september 27th

howdy from Virginia

Sorry dude but you really need to get a better microphone. That’s the first thing I noticed

Actually, it is not a proven fact that Akhenaten was Tutankhamun's father. Tutankhamun is not seen within any of the representations of Akhenaten and his family, there are only daughters. What is more likely is that Tuthankamun was the product of a union between Amenhotep III and his daughter Sitamun (Akhenaten's father and sister.)

Incredibly.

Answer: very. Saved you 9min

Poor dude. 😢

Is that Andrew Tate on the thumbnail???????????

What exactly are "inbreeding complications"? Either you state the cause of death or you don't.

Damn I have Sickle cell disease too…., hopefully that doesn’t mean something 💀

crazy to think that he was more inbreed than Charles ii...

This should be shown to afrocentrists they wouldn't claim to be Egyptians after watching it lol

*banjos intensify*

Pharohs routinely married their siblings. After all, who ELSE is worthy to marry a living deity but another of his direct blood, and therefore ALSO a living deity. Tutankhamun was in a direct line from ALL those past Pharohs, AND honoured the tradition himself by Marrying his own sister. This wasn't restricted to the Egyptian Pharonic lines, "Royalty" from all over the ancient, AND the new world practiced incestuous marriages to keep noble lines "Pure", not allowing "Common" blood to mix with the blood of those who ruled by "Divine Right" [if they were not actually gods, or descended from gods, they mandate to rule was granted them by their god or gods]. Mixing with commoners meant diluting that divine blood, and weakening their claim to rulership.

Frankly, I don't know if this is due to you trying to make the Matter simpler, but the Video is lacking. 1st of all: Nefertiti being Akhenaton's Cousin. There is no Proof of that except for Ay's Influence. 2nd: The Author of the Armarna Letters is hotly debated: Ankhesepaaton is just one of 3 possible Candidates: It could also have been her older Sister Meritaton after Smenkhare died or Neferneferuaton Nefertiti after Akhenaton died as well. 3rd: The Issue of who the Parents of Tutankhaton is still controversial. One of the more popular Theories is that he was indeed a Child of Akhenaton, but why would Akhenaton not publicly showcase himself with Tutankhaton if this was the Case? In Fact, Mummy KV55 is not proven to be Akhenaton at all: Different Examinations showed different Ages for the Mummy and remain disputed: It could either be the Mummy of a 20-Year Old Male or that of a 35-40 Year Old. The 2010 Paper that states 35 as likely Age only names one Peace of Evidence for that Assessment while the ones suggesting a younger Age name multiple, making the Identification of KV55 as Akhenaton questionable: This Mummy could very likely also be Smenkhare, who was either a Brother or Son of Akhenaton. If so, Akhenaton would have been Tutankhaton's Uncle or Grandfather, not his Father. 4th: The Point about Inbreeding among Pharaos being inspired by the Gods is generally correct, but questionable when applied to the Armarna Period: King Akhenaton is primarily known for abandoning the Ancient Egyptian Religion and establishing the Sun Disk, Aton, as sole or as most important God, why would he feel compelled to participate in Inbreeding because of the Religion he mostly abandoned or at least drastically reshaped?

Chile who had blues

It’s too bad Tutankhamun died without any heirs. With his death, the Tuthmosid line became extinct.

I wonder if the ancient Egyptians had banjos???? due to the vast inbreeding the Royals were...

THEY WERE BIG BROTHER (DAD) BIG SISTER (MOM) NEFERTITI... AND THEIR SON ( THEIR LITTLE BROTHER ) THIS PRACTICE IS STILL GOING ON TODAY QUEEN ELIZABETH AND PRINCE PHILIP 😘🤫😉 FIRST COUSINS FDR AND ELINOR 😘🤫😉 FIRST COUSINS BILL AND HILLARY 😘🤫😉 FIRST COUSINS (FYI.. CHELSEA IS NOT BILLS CHILD)

Yeah even royal families are willing to commit some Sweet home Alabama to keep it in the family
