Page "Tutankhamun" Paragraph 10

Tutankhamun was slight of build, and was roughly tall.

He had large front incisors and the overbite characteristic of the Thutmosid royal line to which he belonged.

He also had a pronounced dolichocephalic ( elongated ) skull, although it was within normal bounds and highly unlikely to have been pathological.

Given the fact that many of the royal depictions of Akhenaten often featured such an elongated head, it is likely an exaggeration of a family trait, rather than a distinct abnormality.

The research also showed that Tutankhamun had " a slightly cleft palate " and possibly a mild case of scoliosis, a medical condition in which the spine is curved from side to side.
