Courtesy of the estimable Jim Adams, this week we have to tell porkies about ancient Egypt.
Who was buried in King Tut’s tomb?
Shergar
Why did the Sphinx have a lion’s body and a human head?
Because it was easier to do it like that rather than the other way round.
What month of the year did the Nile overflow its banks?
The month I was there on holiday. Typical.
How many gods did the ancient Egyptians worship?
As many as they could: just to be on the safe side.
How much makeup did Cleopatra wear?
Just a bit of blusher and a touch of mascara, actually. But she insisted that all her portraits showed her with plenty of slap on, because it was expected of her.
How long was Nefertiti’s neck?
The same length as a piece of string.
Why did the Egyptians walk so strangely?
Sand in their shoes.
How many pyramids did they build?
None. It was the aliens: just ask Erich von Däniken.
What was Ramses II known for?
His self-effacing modesty.
What did the Egyptians do in Karnak?
What happens in Karnak stays in Karnak.
