Other #80803 Circumcision Among Ancient Peoples

[Ask Satya Operator]

I keep seeing claims that the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, and others practiced circumcision. Is this true or not? If not, could you please provide some references, because I’m getting confused by all the different sources.

Does it seem natural and healthy to chop off part of a penis of an infant?

There was a study done at McGill University in Canada where they did brain scans before and after circumcision, and it showed permanent damage done to an area of the brain. This study has since been removed from the internet as it was deemed antisemitic to have proof that a religious practice harmed infant boys.

As for the study mentioned by HPS Lydia, I will just add the following. Areas of the brain damaged by this procedure are usually associated with reasoning, perception and emotions. And keep in mind such damages are observed in modern times when circumcision procedure is relatively "safe" and sterile. Just imagine what damage happened to newborns in the past when people had no idea what sterilization even is. And how many infants died because of this. However, this seems to be useful to certain groups of people trying to push their Yehuborim influences. If the brain is partially lobotomized, it is easier to introduce spiritually destructive patterns into their entities. I would say this procedure is the result of careful engineering against humanity through building individuals that would later preach nonsensical spiritual ideologies. I have even seen some "studies" claiming that circumcision is very useful and healthy for the male, men that went through it make women happier in their sex life. "Strangely", I have seen this nonsense among communist forums in the past.

I despise circumcision, but what does the study have to do with the OP’s question?

To answer, some roman and greek historians wrote that the Egyptians and other near eastern cultures practiced circumcision and that the hebrews ultimately took the practice from the cultures around them.

There are no real spiritual or mental benefits to the practice.

It’s just a superstitious act that was adopted as a symptom of the dark age we’re currently in, where ignorance is abundant.

It did however die out as a practice that by the point of the roman empire, only hebrews were practicing it. Xians very early on went against the practice.

It would be almost non-existent today it it wasn’t for Islam and weird American protestant sects that made circumcision mainstream in their respective areas.

Because these are forums, and there is no problem with simply giving additional relevant information.

The only clear historical grounding for neonatal circumcision is entirely abrahamic.

Never has this practice been associated to Egyptian infants. Otherwise they would show in Egyptian medical texts.

Some authors like Herodotus, Strabus, and Diodorus Siculus do seem to mention circumcision in Egypt but in the context of late teenagers and young adults, which links more to a puberty rite, or other coming-of-age traditions. It also didn't extend to all social classes.

Even so, late Graeco-Roman ethnographic observation (i.e. Herodotus) only reflects a period after Egypt had undergone several, substantial cultural changes including some brought by foreign rule such as the Nubian which 25th Dynasty, Assyrian invasion, Persian occupation.

So, I'd be careful in taking these claims as blanket statements that Egyptians mutilated babies, as that is the Historiyach narrative from Yehuboric enemies, and nothing more.

Like HPS Lydia said: it doesn't make sense to do something like that.

I searched for more info, since i used to work in a scientific library in translationa biomedical research.

- Tinari, P.D. (2009) MRI Studies: The Brain Permanently Altered from Infant Circumcision. Peaceful Parenting.

This is the study, as said By HPS Lydia, i cant' find this on PubMed, which should be indexed.

I heard something about the original origins of this "circumcision" word being related to some point of spiritual advancement and accomplishment and the opening of the mind. And this idea was transformed by retarded yehuborim to some how be about chopping genitals. I don't remember more about it.
