Actually there are drawings in Egyptian tombs that depicts circumcision and some cave drawings were found as well. It is however, a religious ceremony preformed by Jewish and Muslim faiths, commonly preformed on the eighth day after birth.

A command for Abraham and his family
In the first biblical mention of circumcision, God made a covenant or an agreement with Abraham and his descendants. God said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless." God explained his part of the covenant — he would be the God of Abraham’s descendants and give them the land of Canaan (Genesis 17:1-8).
God then explained Abraham’s part of the covenant (verses 10-14). "This is...the covenant you are to keep." Every male was to be circumcised — the foreskin on the male sex organ was to be removed — and this was to be the "sign" of the covenant with God, and it was "an everlasting covenant."
Every male in Abraham’s household was to be circumcised immediately, and from then on every baby boy was to be circumcised on the eighth day of his life. Whether they were Hebrews or whether they were slaves, the men had to be circumcised. If they were not, they would be cut off; they had broken the covenant.
Abraham did what God told him to do (verses 23-27; 21:4). The practice of circumcision became the defining characteristic of Abraham’s family. However, the Israelites did not circumcise their boy babies in the wilderness. Joshua had to reinstitute this custom (Joshua 5:2-8). The omission had to be corrected before the plan of God proceeded. God would not allow the Israelites to live in the promised land unless they were faithful to the covenant God had made with Abraham.

The Romans, they believed it to be a hygiene thing, but today,it is not that way at all. After all, women have humidity problems in the vaginal area also, but its a case of personal hygiene, if either of the sexes dont wipe their bums properly after using the toilet, it can cause problems also.

The Jews I think.
The israeli survival pack for when they go into arabia is a ham sandwich and a clip on foreskin.
