Circumcision is one of the oldest known surgical procedures. In respect of males it has been widely practiced as a religious rite since ancient times. An initiatory rite of Judaism, male circumcision is also an obligation for Muslims. To them it signifies spiritual purification. Although its origins are unknown, the earliest reliable evidence of the practice comes from ancient Egypt in the form of pictures dating from 4300 years ago. Cave paintings approximately 15,000 years old appear to show circumcised penises, but not the act of circumcision itself. By the time of the Roman colonisation of Egypt in 30 BC, the practice had acquired a ritual significance; only circumcised priests could perform certain religious rites.
