The evidence from Tutankhamen's tomb that supports the theory that he had a genetic disease that made it difficult for him to walk includes:

  • a large number of canes: The presence of multiple canes suggests that he may have had mobility issues.
  • a painting depicting him leaning on a cane: This visual evidence indicates that he may have relied on a cane for support while walking.
  • a painting showing him being carried on a platform called a litter: This suggests he may have had difficulty walking independently.

The items mentioned, such as an ancient wheelchair and chariots, do not directly support the idea of mobility issues related to a genetic disease in the same way the others do.
