What evidence from Tutankhamen's tomb supports the theory that he had a genetic disease that made it difficult for him to walk? Check all that apply.

Question

a large number of canes
a painting depicting him leaning on a cane
an ancient wheelchair
a painting showing him being carried on a platform called a litter
chariots

Answer 1

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.
