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.
