King Tut Wore Orthopedic Sandals?
Apparently the pharaoh had some serious foot issues according to the book “Tutankhamun’s Footwear: Studies of Ancient Egyptian Footwear” …which I admittedly had no idea existed. Recently, researchers found malformations in King Tut’s feet including Kohler disease (a foot bone disorder), a clubbed left foot, and a missing middle bone in the 2nd toe on his right foot.
The Discovery News article explains that over 80 pieces of footwear were buried with the boy king! Who knew?
