I've always been a fan of Nefertiti jokes.

The Pharoah ruled Egypt. His wife was the Pharina and their son was the Pharie.

The ancient Egyptians believed that anytime a baby smiled or laughed for no reason, Bes was in the room making faces.

He'd crack me up!

Bob Sagat starring in "Egypt's Funniest Home Papyrus".

Please choose the winning papyrus from "hammer falling on head", "ducks pecking at someone's buttocks" and "baboons playing instruments".

Decomposing mummy jokes still get a laugh.

This cannot be. Just as homosexual activity is a totally new and modern invention, it is a well-established fact that ancient peoples had absolutely no sense of humor.

He said, "(The images show) ducks pecking at someone's buttocks, baboons and cats out of control, animals riding on top of other unlikely animals, baboons playing instruments, and animals drinking and dining."

Sounds like there was a Gary 'Ramses' Larson...

He does kinda.

He always has cow-like ears (Hathor?) and a flattened nose.

Nobody knows where he "came" from and he wasn't a "real" god to the elites.

He is referred to as a "household deity" because all the regular folks liked him.
