King Tut's Inbred Family Tree: How He looked in Real Life- Mortal Faces
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- King Tut (1341BCE-1323BCE) (Tutankhamun) was an Egyptian Pharaoh who was the last of his family to rule the 18th Dynasty. His stepmother was the famous Egyptian Queen Nefertiti and he married her daughter/his half-sister Ankhesenamun. King Tut was only 18-19 when he died and his whole life he was plagued with sickness. This could have been due to the fact that his parents were brother (Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten)and sister (The Younger Lady).
King Tut is famous not because of his reign, but because his tomb was found nearly intact which have archeologists great insight into the lives of the Royal Egyptians.
This video we see how he might have looked in real life as well as go through his family tree to see just how inbred he was.

I’m surprised the British “royal” family doesn’t look like Tut terrible inbreeding with those people as well you should do a program on how inbred they are
In reality, only the royals were permitted to marry close relatives, a 'privilege' that was accorded to them by tradition and to maintain power. As far as I'm aware, common people couldn't practice this - and thank goodness for that.

I had a professor once who was going over examples of royal inbreeding throughout history. When one of my classmates asked how in the world so many of these families didn't realize what a terrible idea it was, my professor gave a response I've never forgotten: "Royalty and nobility throughout history have been viewed as akin to gods. If you grew up believing you were a god, would you think the rules of humanity applied to you? Power and wealth do not necessarily come with intelligence. If anything, they often get severely in the way of common sense thinking."
So true. And if I’m superior then only another superior being is the only one I’m meant to be with. There are many things that people think are ok to do. It’s only when someone tells you what you are doing is not ok and even then. Look at cult behaviors.
Now that’s an answer! Very fascinating!
Fast forward to 2020 America and over a billion dollars was spent to install Joe Biden.

For all the people who can't understand how these families didn't know incest was wrong, they very much did. They just percieved the pros to be much greater than the cons.
A huge reason for royal inbreeding that isn't as commonly brought up is the consolidation of royal power. When it comes to inheritance and entangling many family trees, what can often happen is that claims to royal blood and the seat of rule itself get dissipated through the families that the royal family intermarries with. If each pharoah marries a member of a different dynasty within the country, within a few generations all of these dynasties have a connection to the royal family and can begin making all sorts of trouble. Alongside this is also the parallelism between divine marriage and royal marriage. In Egyptian and Zoroastrian religions, incest is holy because the gods did incest, so by marrying a sister you are mirroring the gods. Whether it was inheritance or religious legitimacy, royal incest was all about stability and keeping power in the family.
As many have pointed out, inbreeding is widely understood to be unnatural, whether its pre industrial societies or our modern one now, an aversion to incest is hard coded into our nature. However, for the royal families of say the Hapsburgs and the many incestuous egyptian lines, genetic defects were a small price to pay for royalty. Plus, it (can) take a remarkably long time for these congenital defects to cement themselves in the family. As such the people who began the practice were far removed from the harm they caused and by the time those defects took hold, inbreeding had become a defacto part of royal culture.
A great example of how culture can override our own survival instincts. Once a biological anthropologist said the same thing about sun tanning
Well, considering the gods didn't exist, it just became an excuse to intermarry and not have anyone who could object. That begs the question, who created the family tree for the gods?
This poor kid wasn't just unlucky, he was beaten by the bad genetics stick, until he just suffered all of his life.
Probably a kindness that he didn't live long.
@@jennyrose9454 there are also theories that it was a murder, which is not surprising at all. Well at least it stopped him to have more inbred progeny who would have been even less lucky with their genetics.

One of the saddest things about this story is that we know about King Tut's two daughters because they were buried with him. Even though they were stillborn, they were still mummified, and when he died they were placed with him so they could be with him in the afterlife. It's also interesting the genetic testing done on mummies, because we were able to find out that the Younger Lady was Tut's mother even though they've never been able to identify who exactly she was.
Thank you for this information. Fascinating family.
maybe?
Didn’t they say the younger lady was king tut’s fathers’s sister aka his aunt

"Keeping it in the family" gives this situation a whole other meaning ... maintaining the lineage of diseases.
You do an extraordinary job of breaking down such complicated family trees in such a short time!!! Fascinating info!!
Fascinating how such an advanced, complex civilization did not understand the dangers of in-breeding. Even the most isolated tribes, who knew no science, understood this. Smaller tribes without access to other tribes for marrying, divided their groups into 2 moieties, and maintained that separation for generations, only allowing members of one moiety, to marry into the other. Somehow they understood inbreeding weakened them.
Somehow they perceived value in the bloodline in spite of what they must have known about inbreeding.
Maybe family members had amazing superior intellect.
A lot of royals married to keep the money in the family
The five generations before he was born included new blood.
Perhaps the Ancient Egyptians knew the dangers, but felt that keeping the power and wealth within the family was more important to them.
Lucky this was only practice an Royalty.
But why did they EVER think it was okay for a father to marry his daughter?? Why did that never feel wrong? That’s the part that shocked me the most. I mean marrying your sibling is already weird enough but fathers and daughters?? Wtf
not to mention all the girls probably got pregnant as soon as they were fertile. how scary must that be for a child? doubt they ever wanted that life
I think they were so degenerate from all the inbreeding that it made sense to them
Yes, that was ABSOLUETLY disturbing. If the children hadn't died we would be looking at some really fucked up looking people.
Simple: Education. Or Lack there of. Keeping things pure in the royal blood line. I mean you are talking about things over 3,000 years ago.
They probably weren’t raised by him. They had other people taking care of them so it was easier to see them as individuals rather than their own children. That’s just a theory though idk. It’s just gross.
Poor Tut. He was in pain a lot of his life :( Kid didn't have much of a happy life. Sounds confusing and pretty scary as well.
Been binging this since last night! Amazing stuff man!
He had two daughters who were either stillborn or died as babies, before he himself died at the age of 18 or 19. And they were in the tomb with their father when they were found by Howard Carter. He said it was probably the saddest thing he ever saw. I remember being shocked to learn about those kids, as they talked frequently in school about “The boy king of Egypt” but never about the tragedy of his personal life. This is part of what makes history interesting, in my opinion. It’s not just the accomplishments of a nation, or the wars, or the dates and places. (Although that’s important too). Primarily it’s the people’s story, and what they endured throughout their life, their joys, their sorrows, their motivations. If you cannot understand history from a personal perspective, find someone or something you can relate to, you will have an incomplete picture.

@Levi Marshall, it’s not necessarily being nosey. “Nosey” is being engaged in the lives of living persons for the sheer pleasure of it, with no particular aim. History as I see it, on the other hand, is a form of psychology. It is the study of the lives of men and women who have long ceased to exist, and to bring back some of what has been lost, by the accounts of what these people were like, what tragedies befell them in life, and how many of them overcame these great afflictions and brought about some good in the world and how we can learn from them. Although, there are plenty of others who failed the test of life and became the cause of much harm to the human race before they were done.

This is fascinating. Despite the genetic horrors of his family background, it's amazing that his physical appearance & weaknesses were accepted & he went on to become Pharaoh. In many cultures such a child of an esteemed family would've been discarded or hidden away. Even within the last century. The ancient Egyptians are a most interesting culture to study. Even with all we know & accurately recreate, it's still difficult to picture them as everyday people. There's something magical about them.
egyptian was Europeans who went into Egypt during the ice age Europeans built the pyramids since they found pyramids in Europe older than Egypt's , ice age made all go south for warmer weather
It's cool too how they pushed to "live for eternity" by being buried with everything lavish and they all basically were in competition with each other to out due the other. The one who hit the jackpot was King Tut. He's not even our "King" yet we still call him King Tut.

Also in later ages Alexander invaded india and conquered West india & pakistan and we even had a greek empire in India. That's why lot of northern indians & Pakistani have Caucasian features like coloured eyes blonde hair which is absent in tribal population & people in south of India.

It wasn't just Egyptians royals that inbred. There's alot of inbreeding in European royals too.
What saved Tut's line is the rare introduction of non family members. It's baffling how the majority of the family tree wasn't rendered sterile, but, at the same time, it's interesting to see how the people came together for their king, knowing he had so many hardships physically. His mind was strong. Inbred or not, Tut had spirit that, if he were to live longer, might have made great changes for the egyptians of his day.
more like a family ladder
It's kinda like the Bidens.
@@Gutch220 like a wreath like the habsburgs. A lot of time Egyptians didn't actually marry their sisters usually they marry their cousins. It was actually very rare to marry their sisters. And it was only until a certain Pharaoh that they actually started marrying their brothers and sisters off. So they weren't entirely like super incesty but they were still very much incest. That's why they weren't sterile after so long. Also on top of that a lot of pharaohs actually had a ton of wives. So that's also a big reason why they weren't as inbred as you might think. And why they weren't super sterile like the habsburgs. Is because a lot of times they were very distant cousins marry each other or they were like half-siblings marrying each other. It was never like pure brother and sister.
@@bobsmith6544 what are you talkin about? Nobody in his family is inbred. What's the Point of lying except to look like a fool.

This often gets left out when talking about the ancient Egyptian royalty. They all get described in the best ways but people tiptoe around the problems they suffered from because of generations of inbreeding
That's because every one wants to rewrite history. Even the Egyptians tried to hide thier flaws and failures. Every one wants to be remembered as "great". This is why it's important to seek truth, and never forget real history. People always try to alter it
just like they gloss over the Greeks and Romans practice of child sex, more specifically young boys. It's official name is pederasty and Plato himself speaks about it as well as historians. The Roman and Catholic Church took that practice with them when Greek fell from dominance and power and culture shifted towards Rome. You see, it was considered ok, like for the royals or civilized people but deep down they ALL know it was wrong...
I mean it's the same shit in a lot of countries with monarchies, this ruling system just does something to people's brain it's crazy. They're so scared of losing power they become immune to the repulsive aspect of incest. Look at Spain's royal family history, they had a few disabled members who were victims of their ancestors' incestuous relationships too
@@jenjosh i don't really see people hiding this.
The British did it too
Look at them
How very interesting! No wonder they were so sick and died young, so much incest over and over! I loved your explanation, thank you!
No
Incest isbest keeps the families wealth in tact that's why it was practiced amongst the wealthy until someone noticed how defects became more common as the practice continued.
@Ray J it is often a royal trait to keep the power, wealth and property within the family and double your child's claim to the throne if challenged.
The Hanovers (Windsors) did it along with the Hapsburgs and Carlosian line.
Incest itself doesn't necessarily produce new genetic problems...that's a commoners myth form farming. However if a bad trait deforming is recessive, it requires both parents to have it but maybe not evident as it is recessive...then each has a 50 50 chance of passing it along so 1/4th chance of a deformed kid. A 3/4 chance of a kid with the trait. Only a 1/4 chance of a kid with no bad gene.
Their kids or 1st cousins then marry (sister wife or cousin wife) and the likelihood is at least one has the full blown trait (two genes) and the other has one good and one bad gene. Their kid now has a 50 50 chance of showing the trait (ie Club foot) by getting both genes....or at least a 100% chance of carrying one.
So by 3rd generation it is becoming inevitable in a family way.
This can also work for good recessive traits. Enhancing that trait as well. For instance longevity. Both Queen Regents of Britain in the last 200 years lived about a century, as did Elizabeth's mother. Elizabeth is still pretty strong, as she brushed off c19 like a head cold.

In-breeding simply makes recessive traits visible, thus making natural selection better at work. This means by killing off those with recessive traits, the family line actually has less mutated recessive genes in their genomes. You shouldn't look at the dysfunctional ones, as that's just natural selection at play. The king should've had hundreds of babies and select the healthiest ones (killing off the dysfunctional), and continue the process until there's no recessive detrimental genes in the family line.

@@difidon being a young pharaoh
@@difidon The reason King Tut's famous is because his tomb was largely found intact. That's the only reason. As I'm sure you know, most, if not all, of the other kings' tombs were robbed over the centuries. Nothing set him apart, just the fact that his grave was found largely undisturbed was a very big deal for archeology.
These are AMAZING!!
Thanks for the information 😊
Really interesting! Judging by the three "phases" of the family tree (inbreeding, non inbreeding, inbreeding) and assuming that they all had relatively short life spans, I wonder if they drew a connection between no surviving heirs and their inbreeding, which ultimately resulted in them marrying "outsiders". Once several generations passed they started inbreeding again.
But this is not my profession and I am just assuming stuff 🙈
maybe the "no-inbreeding era" was just a time when they needed political alliances/marriages to stay on the throne?
In Pauline Gedge’s book, “The Twelfth Transforming,” she makes a clear distinction between the royals inbreeding and sibling marriages, and the rest of society, who found it both distasteful and problematic for the health and survival of the children of those unions. Not that Gedge is the end all and be all of Egyptian history, but it does seem realistic to me that even the Egyptian royals understood that new blood had to be inserted into the family line every so often to revitalize it and keep it going. Just my opinion of course :-)
You're right. Looking at the family tree, we can clearly see that those of the pharaohs who married their sisters, half-sisters, daughters or direct nieces had almost no surviving heirs and the ones that did live on were the ones who were born from other noblemen's daughters and not related to them. Yet they did it anyways without looking at the consequences.
I've studied ancient Egyptian history and from what I can tell is the reason they inbred wasn't just because they were attracted to their family members (gross) but also moreso because they wanted to keep the family riches and nobility strictly in the family. We know that the Egyptian pharaohs also had God complexes and believed that some of them descended from the Egyptian Gods like Anubis or Ra, which is why they also believed that marrying someone else out of the family would "pollute" their lineage and that they had to preserve their bloodline, and the only way they thought that to be possible is if they married their own kin.
Did you mean heirs, or am I missing something?
All in all greed, royalty, and wealth played a part… marrying into own family to keep everything! And they got punished for that with inbred family!
They also practiced skull-binding which is the elongation of the skull by binding the babies’ still soft skulls. Naturally they considered themselves gods and their bloodline sacred and preserving its purity paramount. They based their power on it, so naturally they could not recognize what was obvious: that they were producing offsprings laden with all kinds of defects and not a lot of them either.
Btw somebody pointed it out that in European royal families cousins routinely married each other with various negative results, like for example the hemophilia of the last little czarevich which led to the downfall of czarism etc. etc.
❤️❤️❤️ua-cam.com/video/WkyLI8UIeXg/v-deo.html❤️❤️❤️Humanity❤️❤️❤️…
It was prevalent in the British royal houses too, cousins, the entire European aristocracy was interbred , why they no longer marry close relatives,but marry outside the line to introduce fresh blood. Think recently ?
From what you've said here, it confirms that everything isn't meant for everyone to experience in the same manner/receive the same outcome.
Some parts of Pakistan to this day practice inbreeding by marrying cousins off to each other.
@@hym3323 the countries with the highest inbreeding rate are Pakistan, Irak, Turkey, Afghanistan, Oman and Saudi Arabia
Really fascinating channel.
I always felt so bad for King Tut. I imagine his childhood, given his poor health and deformities, wasn’t very enjoyable or lighthearted not to mention it was very short. And on top of that, his father was very controversial. I’m sure Tut and his sisters were aware to an extent the turmoil around them and how scary that must’ve been for a young child. And then of course basically his whole family falls apart after the death of his father and he’s encouraged to leave it all behind. He grows up no doubt with rather big expectations and the poor kid can’t even get around properly only to lose his own kids and his own life so young. People of ancient times always seem so different, almost unrealistic, but in reality they were just like us and Tut had it rough. I’m sure that poor boy cried himself to sleep a few times, be from the physical pain or all that was happening around him. I hope in death he found some peace (and was able to kiss those canes goodbye).
I’m sure it was worse for all of the slaves he owned :)
@@partricklambaste1235 I’m sure you’re right, Patrick. Thank you for your input. Very insightful.
@@partricklambaste1235 ok but tbf he was mentally handicapped most likely
@@ghristophermyers666 i'm sure that was a great comfort for all of the people he was divinely ordained to rule over.
Oh, yes, our god-king presides over a state built on the suffering of slaves and peasants, but he's mentally incapable of understanding the horrors committed in his name :) so it's cool!!!
you know, if he was mentally handicapped at all.
This is actually how I feel about everyone who has ever benefitted from an inherited power structure.
It's so wild the snobbery that exists amongst elites of being 'pureblood' despite how history and their own family trees have proven time and time again it causes endless deformities until they can't breed anymore. They're actually forced to bring in someone outside of their circle to continue their family or end their line.
It’s not really anything to do with that, that’s just cope to deal with the fact they’re inbred.
It was always about keeping power in their family.
Brother, You do impressive work . Congratulations
Very interesting' thanks for sharing'
Poor young man, he must have spent most of his life in pain. Just think a world with no pain relief, or anything to help with his ailments, we have it extremely good.
I know, right? Never knew I could feel such pity for a king, but he truly had what we would consider today to be a short and miserable life.
I would say they had stronger stuff then we had
right? especially with having sickle cell and necrosis!
They had pain meds back then they knew about opioids and plants that helped with pain too and plants that helped the body it wasn't In pill form or in shot's like we have today but alot of time if was made to be a drink and put it on your skin for wounds and certain pain indains did the same thing for years and years
They had ways of pain relief back then- one of the history channels did an interesting vid on it
Very impressive. No archeologist that studies the Pharaohs show a family tree timeline of where King Tut came from like you did .
The timeline he listed was discovered in mid 1800's. My grandmother has a issue of National Geographic from the 60's with the exact same royal timeline.
@@error4159 Thank you for letting me know. Seems like Nat Geo has a lot of info, we just need to do our research.

Poor king Tutankhamen suffered all of his short life. What a tragedy!
❤️❤️❤️ua-cam.com/video/WkyLI8UIeXg/v-deo.html❤️❤️❤️Humanity❤️❤️❤️
Thank his parents and those before for that!
Crazy to think that he was actually much less inbred than some family members in generations before him because there were actually quite a few outsiders freshing up the family gene pool before him.
Teenage Mutant Incest Paroahs ! 🤢
Yeah, he wasn’t actually that inbred at all.
So it’s unlikely his conditions were simply the result of inbreeding.
You have to go back to his great, great, great, great grandfather to find someone who married a relative.
The genetic contribution any of us have from an ancestor that far back is fairly minimal.
i was wondering if those "outsiders" were pure outsiders at all, or maybe somewjere along the line they had connections with royal blood too tho
Very interesting.
you have a very calming voice

You would think that the family might’ve started to figure out “hey, we’re all afflicted with physical and/or mental disorders maybe we should STOP marrying close family members” I mean they could see that the everyday citizens of their kingdom weren’t intermarrying and had healthier children, so it wouldn’t have been hard to figure out the common denominator. I understand they had to keep the power and wealth within the family, but there’s other ways to do this, and WTH is going on that they could even think about their own children in a sexual way.
Saoirse Rose ( see my reply above to Lorna Long )
Scientists at that time had no knowledge of genetic mutations caused by inbreeding. Today's hillbillies, on the other hand have heard about it but, along with evolution, vaccinations, and climate change, they just don't believe it.
@@rickriccardi4741 Bingo! You are quite correct in reference to what the Egyptians did not 'know' in ancient times. In spite of that they had figured out a lot of other valuable scientific problems. The math required to build massive granite structures , including the cutting, transport and manipulation of stone blocks still baffles us. The development of the mummification process provides a wealth of knowledge about human anatomy, skill in dentistry and their ability to suture wounds and set bone fractures. However, I still maintain that the effects of inbreeding they observed among royalty was not considered a negative in the modern sense - they viewed it as a mark of distinction, status and actual 'beauty'.
I couldn't agree more! Its ABSOLUTELY disgusting and vile.
@@jaycorby No, i dont think so. Just imagine what was like more than 5000 years ago. The Pharaoh was nothing less than a living GOD. At least, it was what they and the sacerdots where saying. At some point, they started to believe this. As living Gods, they could not mix whit simple mortals, and this imbreeded marriages where a royal obligation and simbol of their special status, as using the double crow, sit on the trone, and promote the whorshiping of the gods.
Must have been a heavy obligation, because I dont believe they liked this inbreed marriages. Consider that aside moral reasons, many of this kings and sister-wifes must have been sick, ugly as fuck, sterile, and very probably having a laundry list of mental problems. That explain bouth the marriages whit no offspring, and the eventual marriages outside the family.
I dont believe they where aware this sikness where caused by the imbreeding, I dont think so, because to do this reasoning they first must see thenselves as humans, and they where seeing thenselves as gods. And if they where aware of the cause, they could silently stop this imbreeding in order to preserve the health of their childrens and their dinasty. Instead, I supose the sikness where seen as a punishement of the gods, as any other desease or plague where seen at that time, for some failure to apease the gods commited by the Pharaoh or some ancestral.
If so, this may partially explain why many Pharaohs where frenetical builders of temples and monuments. Maybe, besides looking for fame and glory in the afterlife, they expected to be cured or have their childrens spared of this sikness if they build enough temples for the gods.
Tutankhamun is a fascinating subject of study. As sad as it is that he was the product of incest and died young, he's got a legacy that can never be disputed. For the longest time, it was believed he was a warrior Pharaoh. But if he had clubfoot and couldn't stand normally, what makes them think he'd be able to drive a chariot?
It makes me wonder if the term 'warrior' might have been given to his spirited nature, because he really tried to set Egypt straight again after what his father did, and thus across time our perceptions of warriors as frontline fighter only.
There is some dispute over whether or not Tutankhamun had a clubfoot, even among the top scholars/experts. His mummified body got cut into pieces and chiseled out of his sarcophagus by Howard Carter's team, so it can be difficult to tell the difference between modern injuries and ancient ones. One of the things in his tomb that lead people to think he had an issue walking were numerous walking sticks in his tomb, but many pharaohs had similar ones as symbols as power not walking aides. Some experts look at the scans of his mummified body and find traces of disabilities whereas others don't. It's a very complicated subject that not even experts can agree on.
Yes, agreed! His life and death are both very fascinating, and it's one of the things that lead me to want to study anthropology in college.
so fascinating to know all these....thnks
European monarchy also had plenty of inbreeding. Their offspring suffering from genetic illnesses were hidden away.
Except maybe for King George, who's mental instability led him to start a war with the American Colonies.
You could only hide so much. Just look at the Habsburgs!
❤️❤️❤️ua-cam.com/video/WkyLI8UIeXg/v-deo.html❤️❤️❤️Humanity❤️❤️❤️
The Habsberg Jaw is very famous! Marie Antoinette had a slight hint and they said the one prince was so inbred and unhealthy that when he died the dr described his heart as black as coal and tiny
It seems nobility in a lot of places seem to have this issue. They wanted to keep the power in the family.
Please do a reconstruction of Lady Rai, the nursemaid to Queen Ahmose-Nefertari. Her mummy is regarded as being one of the finest examples of mummification. Grafton Elliot Smith, who unwrapped her, described Rai as the "least unlovely" of the other mummified women and that she was "slim, gracefully-built...and had child-like hands."
I hope you make a video for every Egyptian dynasty if possible
You tried harder than a lot of people do with the pronunciations! I applaud your efforts!!
King Tut suffered from numerous medical anomalies his major issue was brittle bone disease. I saw the exhibit back in the 70's the full exhibit that showed x-rays of The Boy King.
This is so sad. He was probably in pain all the time.
Nope

Ah yes a revisit to the family bean stalk.
Also…daughter wives? I made an audible sound of disgust at that
yep me to revolting.
Yes, any decent person would find that revolting.
Very biblical!
@@fredrika27 Despite it being written against in law by multiple religions, the Bible records people doing it, including daughters raping their father and then being cursed by the God for it. Yep, very disgusting. I think because of the intense punishments by multiple religions across the world for it I think it saved a lot innocent girls from what the Pharaohs did.
@@lovetobe6118 the story of noah though 😂😂😂
don't apologize for not pronouncing their names right, literally nobody knows how they're pronounced
Actually we do, due to writings and reconstruction. As far as I know some hieroglyphic systems are based on pronunciation
They think Ra is pronounced “Ray” now.
@@mjrhmekssh Some people know yes, but it is far, far from common knowledge, and it is understandably inoffensive for one to mess it up.
An interesting anecdote: Moses was most likely adopted by Hatshepsut when she still was a child. With him growing up and Harshepsut and Thutmose II not having any children Moses almost became pharaoh since he was considered as Hatshepsuts son.
Interesting. At least how Moses looked like should be corrected. This modern interpretation of Moses as a white dude is simply wrong. Moses is brown skinned. Or in the old times, he is called a red skin.

They wouldn’t last as long as they did if not for Thutmose I. Also, who tf marries not one but two of their daughters 🤢
Amenhotep III
Probably any royalty back in those days, if they wanted
Thank heavens there were various religions that taught against such a practice around the world in those days. It probably saved a lot more innocent girls than we will ever know.
Sena The ancient Egyptian royal view concerning this practice was 100% at odds with
what is a matter of law in present day civilized societies. It is illegal to commit incest within specific degrees of blood relationships.
It was a different time. Not to mention, the rulers make the rules.
Brings new meaning to the song, "We Are Family" or the term, "keeping it in the family".
Love how he still look better than me even being inbred.

Sickle cell anemia is something that predominantly affects the Black population, Hispanic, Middle Eastern/East Indian populations. T Boz from TLC suffers from the autoimmune disorder. It looks like a disorder that originally started in that region. It might have survived antiquity in their bloodlines.
