The Androgynous Pharaoh? Akhenaten had feminine physique

A Yale University doctor who analyzed images of Akhenaten for an annual conference at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has concluded that Akhenaten's female form was due to a genetic mutation that caused his body to convert more male hormones to female hormones than needed.
