Cutting off the hand for stealing is a Muslim practice and this is an ancient Egyptian (pagan) site. I am not aware of it being used as a punishment in ancient Egypt, while cutting off the hands of enemies as a tally and a way to claim a bounty is referred to in the written record.

Actually, many years ago, it was punishment in China for stealing. Body parts were systematically eliminated, depending what the crime was. It resulted in the lowest crime rate of any country. They don't do it anymore but maybe we need to start doing this.
