...Lord Noel here....
From the ancient exotic continent of Egypt......
.....home of the mystical pyramids....
...I bring you......
.....a story of intrigue, sex and loss......
....and it begins with the infamous King Tut, the Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ca. 1333-1323 b.c.e.) and son of Akhenatun.
Archaeologists and historians have long raged over what caused the "boy king's" demise.....
....and the mystery of how he came to a sticky end.....
....has now become the centre of further controversy.....
....as the ending.....
....has gone missing!
 |
| The Head of King Tut.....Well, that's a start |
John Taylor, who looks after the mummies collection at the British Museum in London,states that when King Tut's mummy was first unwrapped in 1922, "the penis was there and was attached".
Tut's penis was reported missing in 1968, but was discovered again in 2006, lying in loose sand around Tut's mummified body during a CT scan in 2006.
King Tut the man who has had his penis with him for almost 1,700 years.......
.....suddenly finds it's gone missing?!
That's just plain careless.....
 |
| Give him one more scan.....maybe it's moved? |
At that time of his discovery, Egypt's chief of antiquities, Zahi Hawass described Tut's penis as, "well-developed", but noted that the penis was no longer attached to Tut's body.
 |
| Oh Yes....somebody's gonna wanna steal this baby! |
To wrap all this up: King Tut's penis was known to be attached to his mummified body in 1922; then, in 1968, Tut's royal "sceptre", appeared to have disappeared; only to reappear in 2006 when it was found buried under the sand close to Tut's body but, of course, no longer attached.
All of which tells me one thing...........
If you die extremely rich.....
......you can be buried with tons of gold, silver and precious jewels all around you.....
....but even a couple of thousand years after you're dead......
....people will still want to see your penis!
Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel
