Given the quality of bread and the amount of grit introduced into the baking process, having good teeth is an unexpected discovery.  I wonder if Amenhotep's diet was different from other Royals?  Perhaps at age 35, teeth are yet to show the ravages of eating gritty bread?

Thanks for the link, David.
