The mystery of cutting the male organs in ancient Egypt

Dear visitor to the Ramses III temple in Habu, you will see a strange, rare scene on the temple walls of male organs stacked in a large pile and another view of hands palms also stacked in another large pile. The scene depicts Egyptian soldiers attending sacks full of palms and organs of masculinity that were cut from the bodies of dead enemies and then throwing them in the form of stacks in front of army scribes who mark them with some signs and record their numbers with great accuracy.

Since the reign of King Ahmose at the beginning of the New kingdom, he started a strange way of counting the numbers of dead enemies by cutting off the hands of the enemies and later on during the era of Ramesside, the cutting of the male members were added. But it is necessary to report a historical fact here. Some ancient peoples ​​, such as the Cushitic peoples, especially the Gala, Dorsa, and Dita tribes, etc., shared with Egypt the custom of cutting off the male members of their enemies. So the Egyptians were not the only ones who practise this habit.
