If you ask me, the REAL reason they had their hands cut off was 'cos they kept
picking their noses while their mummies were watching!

August 2012
Archaeologists digging up an ancient palace in Egypt uncovered a grisly stash
of 16 severed human hands. The bones, dating back around 3,600 years, all
belonged to right hands, and they were buried in four pits inside the palace,
once home to King Khayan, a Hyksos ruler. The chopped-off extremities appear to
be the first fossil evidence of an ancient custom, described in Egyptian art,
of soldiers detaching their enemies' right hands and trading them in for gold,
reports LiveScience.
"Each pit represents a ceremony," says one researcher. Cutting off only the
right hands makes it easier to count slain enemies and delivers a potent
symbolic message. "You deprive him of his power eternally," explains the
researcher. The site is located in what used to be the city of Avaris, now
named Tell el-Daba, northeast of Cairo.
