Gruesome cache of severed hands is evidence of trophy-taking in ancient Egypt. It's the first physical bioarchaeological evidence of the practice, which may have served as "symbolic currency for status acquisition." https://arstechnica.com/?post_type=post&p=1928555

1. They're calling it ceremony

but it could just as easily be punishment for theft, especially tomb robbing by an organized gang specializing in it.

2. Your article has much more information than the one I found later than yours.

I just saw your thread for the first time, after I posted one I found tonight. Sorry for that.

I really appreciate the time and energy the author of the Ars Technica article invested in her piece.

Thank you.
