An article about ankylosing spondylitis, which is thought to have affected a number of pharaohs: "Ankylosing spondylitis has afflicted people for centuries. St Banus suffered from it in the 4th century AD, and Rameses II in the 12th century BC — although his stiff, painful, stooped back did not prevent Rameses from leaving his mark on both the landscape and the population of Ancient Egypt. The great pharaoh built more temples than any other Egyptian ruler and had between 90 and 160 children. His son Merneptah and an earlier pharaoh, Amenhotep II, are also thought to have had ankylosing spondylitis."
