圖坦卡門 竟是暴牙內翻足
Oct 20th 2014, 21:50

中國時報【黃文正╱綜合報導】

古埃及法老王圖坦卡門不是帥哥?歐洲科學家利用電腦斷層掃描技術,重塑圖坦卡門迄今最細緻的容貌和全身影像,發現他有暴牙、女性化的胸部和臀部,且有內翻足,不良於行。這都歸咎於他父母是親兄妹,導致他患有遺傳性缺陷和疾病。

圖坦卡門19歲英年早逝,外界從這位少年法老王下葬時,臉上配戴的黃金面具,推論他在世時,應是一名翩翩美少年。不過,即將在英國廣播公司(BBC)播出的紀錄片《圖坦卡門:未揭露的真相》,卻打破此一刻板印象。

科學家對圖坦卡門家族的木乃伊遺骸,進行逾2000次斷層掃描的「虛擬驗屍」(virtual autopsy),發現他的上排門牙及虎牙明顯凸出,胸部及臀部較大,似發育中的女性。此外,根據其腳趾分布形態,相信他有內翻足。

先前的DNA檢測已證實,圖坦卡門的生父是阿肯納頓,他統治古埃及約17年。義大利「木乃伊與冰人研究所」科學總監辛克,對圖坦卡門的指紋和粒線體基因進行檢測,證實其生母是阿肯納頓的親姊妹。

辛克說,古埃及人毫無優生學的觀念,他們相信,近親結婚可保持純正血統,事實上卻禍延子孫。倫敦帝國學院教授亞許雷芬恩說,圖坦卡門家族許多成員都深受病痛之苦,因亂倫導致賀爾蒙分泌失調,使子孫的壽命一代比一代短。

考古學界對圖坦卡門的死因有諸多揣測,最新研究指出,他可能是參加馬戰車競賽,不慎撞車翻覆遭輾壓致死。不過,科學家認為,圖坦卡門有內翻足,嚴重跛腳,根本不可能駕馭馬戰車,在他陵墓中發現的130根陪葬枴杖,可予以佐證。

Workers build forms Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, around the area at a construction site in Seattle where what is believed to be an ice age mammoth tusk was discovered on Tuesday. Work pouring cement at the site was continuing, but workers blocked off the area where the tusk was found. Paleontologists from the University of Washington hope to move the tusk to a museum on campus. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren) 較少
