King Tutankhamun's rediscovered penis could make the pharaoh stand out in the shrunken world of male mummies, according to a close look into old pictures of the 3,300-year-old mummified king... Photographed intact by Harry Burton (1879-1940) during Howard Carter's excavation of Tut's tomb in 1922, the royal penis was reported missing in 1968, when British scientist Ronald Harrison took a series of X-rays of the mummy. Speculation abounded that the penis had been stolen and sold. "Instead, it has always been there. I found it during the CT scan last year, when the mummy was lifted. It lay loose in the sand around the king's body. It was mummified," Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, told Discovery News... According to the mummy expert, it is not possible to see if King Tut was circumcised or not.

One of the first dirty jokes I ever heard in elementary school was about the petrified penis of King Tut.
60 years later I can still remember the epiphany of learning that sex and scatology can be funny.

King Tut once said:
"I wish all the girls were statues of Venus
And I had a foot-long peterified penis!".
I guess he got his wish!

Man this entire topic is SICK...you'd think people would have better things to worry and wonder about than King Tut's penis..LMAO! This is a sick, demented world.
So what should we be worry and wonder about then?
Or in other words: what magic powers will solve problems merely by posting on a forum?
everyone here is wasting time. Everyone here has nothing better to do at the moment. Including you, who hasnt even got something better to do than whine about someone not having something better to do, and me ofcourse who wastes time whining about you whining.
So who is sick and disturbed? The people that talk about Pharaonic penises in their break time or people like you, that waste their free time yanking their nerves apart?
Sick and distubed indeed.

Hey! I've got a great marketing idea. How about using King Tut as a spokesman for Snap-On Tools? ;-)

it is not possible to see if King Tut was circumcised or not. So we'll never know if Tut was cut.
