Tutankhamun’s penis was fully ERECT when he was mummified so he would look like a god in afterlife<\/h1>\n

The world’s most famous mummy, Tutankhamun, was buried with his penis standing at a 90 degree angle, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

An expert in Egyptology believes the everlasting erection was made to make King Tut look like Osiris, the god of the afterlife.<\/p>\n

Why? You ask.<\/p>\n

According to Egyptologist<\/a> Salima Ikram, professor at the American University in Cairo, it was to counter efforts by his father King Akjenaten to establish a religion of one god.<\/p>\n

Akhenaten wanted to focus on the worship of Aten, the sun disc, and destroyed images of other gods.<\/p>\n

King Tut had, however, worked to reverse his father’s <\/a>ideology and return Egypt to the traditional worship of many gods.<\/p>\n

Professor Ikram believes he was buried with his erect manhood in a bit to continue his endeavour even in death.<\/p>\n

She believes the upright penis broke off after the discovery of the tomb, despite speculation that it was stolen.<\/p>\n

Professor Ikram told LiveScience: “As far as I know, no other mummy has been found thus far with an erect penis.”<\/p>\n
